Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Will a shield prevent this ability from working for phantoms? Shield slam looks to be a nice feat.

No it will not. (Answer is based on my full-plate wearing, tower shield wield Ghost Faced Killer, and how Valefort suggested a Shield Slam Phantom few topics below.)

I was under the impression that Phantom ki powers can't be used while armored? Is this mistaken? It does seem that GFK does not have this limitation. Maybe I am derp. Thank you.

Well, lets not rule out the possibility that Valefort has derped... https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Phantom <= does list the no armor requirement.

I think this needs some QC testing.

I derped Sorry ! The wiki is accurate.

Thank you both. But Valefort, for derping I have no choice but to sentence you to be stuck in an infinite loop until your stack overflows. This should give you some time to think about what you've done.

Well...Shield isn't armor and Phantom can use two weapons, I wouldn't see an issue in allowing them small shields and allow ki to work while using small shields, possibly medium but that seems a little harder to fathom (trying to be a stealthy ninja with a big arse shield)... a small shield or buckler wouldn't be much more restrictive than a short sword IMO.
