Emitter-Based Shields is a set of twenty-four all new and unique shields constructed entirely out of emitters. They can be used either as mana and divine shields in hi-magic worlds or as energy and force shields in hi-tech settings.
Though emitter-based, these shields are not flat. They have calculated curved surfaces like real shields and carefully layered effects to simulate depth and thickness, so they do look rather good in-game.
Some of these shields may work without the expansions, but the rest draw textures from the expansion packs, and so it is recommended that you have both expansions.

Update April 30, 2006 : Totally unimportant update to demonstration module to include two new items that allow players to rename and recolour the Name of their shields and items. No change to the core shields pack. Enjoy. :)
