|name=Divine Shield
|types=Salient Ability
|summary=Gain a shield to absorb attacks.
|prereqs=Divine Rank 1, [[Cha]] 19
|fluff=A golden shell of light protected the deity from harm.  Retribution would be swift coming.
|benefit=As a standard action once per day, the deity can create a [[Shield (3.5e Creature Ability)|shield]] that has 10 hp per divine rank, and regenerates 1 hp per divine rank each minute.  They are an extraordinary effect that lasts for 24 hours.  As long as a shield has [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] remaining, any damage done to the protected creature is dealt to the shield instead. A shield can absorb damage of virtually any kind, from physical damage types ([[SRD:Bludgeoning Weapon|bludgeoning]], [[SRD:Piercing Weapon|piercing]], [[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing]]) to energy damage types ([[acid]], [[cold]], [[electricity]] and [[fire]]), to [[SRD:Force Effect|force damage]], to even most typeless forms of damage. Shields are even effective against [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attacks]]. A shield can never absorb more damage than that it has [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] remaining, and any damage over that amount is dealt to the protected creature.

Only certain damage dealing effects can pass through a shield without being absorbed, such as a [[SRD:Sonic Effect|sonic]] effect, a [[SRD:Gaze|gaze attack]] or [[SRD:Psionics|psionic]] effects that allow a [[SRD:Will Save|Will]] save, such as ''[[SRD:Ultrablast|ultrablast]]''. Line of sight and line of effect are unaffected by a personal shield. Nonstandard and conditional forms of damage such as from the reduced effect of a ''[[SRD:Destruction|destruction]]'' spell or the corrosive effect of a ''[[SRD:Rusting Grasp|rusting grasp]]'' aren't reduced by a shield.

An active shield with 1 or more [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] grants immunity to [[SRD:Critical Hits|critical hits]] to any creature or object it protects.
|example=<!-- If your feat has a complicated mechanic, give an example of how it works. -->
|normal=
|special=Suitable for deities of Protection.
