Mage Knight 2.0 Final Relic Sneak Peek - Kosian Shieldtome
Kosian Shieldtome
Play Tip: Great for those having troubles with ranged armies, the Kosian Shieldtome wielded by one of your Uniques with the wand attack type will help keep you and your allies safe until you close the gap with the enemy. A –2 speed value modifier is a small price to pay to give some grief to your ranged combat opponents.
History: Discovered within the Blasted Lands, this ancient tome allowed the Priest-Kings to survive dozens of battles unscathed.
Design Note: The Kosian Shieldtome offers a reasonably good ability: avoiding ranged combat attacks for the wielder and all its buddies in base contact with it. The price for this ability is a decreased speed value, so it’s going to slow things down a bit. A good balance overall.
It is supposed to be a spell book of protection spells that is why only the magic users can use the item... i like it a lot, a relic I definitly want!!!

I like this relic for two reasons. It effectively adds 4 to the wielders defense vs. ranged attacks (+2 for book, +2 for percision) and add in some BA and you can just laugh at those ranged combat formations trying to get at you.
Secondly, it brings back the possibility of the long dead Deathstar (a new use for my Storm Golem), and provides excellent cover fire for my orcs (assuming a Chaos Mage 2.0 is made).
Now this is something you can just stick on a cheap LE and have him act as an LI shield for your whole formation. They simply need to stay in base contact with him.
