Better Sources of MM Immunity

[Conn]

Can we have better sources of shield/nightshield? Specifically for martial classes. We have feydark giving us MM immunity...but it requires you to already have magical training...meaning most classes that can take it can also already cast shield/nightshield. Just add a 10th level wand and a 20th level wand to the guild vendors with the appropriate UMD. We can already find higher level wands of shield from random generation, why can't we just buy them? It would make leveling as a martial much smoother and enjoyable while really not impacting the end-game at all. No one enjoys needing to carry around a bunch of clickies or wanding every 5 minutes in a quest.

Not every quest needs magic missile immunity.

Robe of Shadow ML8 is caster level 8, and the ML16 version is caster level 14 if you don't have a stash of caster level 10 Shield wands. And realistically in heroic levels you're probably doing R1 max for the XP:time sweet spot. So even if you don't have immunity, you take damage, heal up and move on. Not a huge deal. If you're on hardcore, you just deal with wanding every 5 minutes just like keeping a stash of various resist/cure potions on you.

In epic levels, the Studded Buckles is caster level 21, and LGS Nightshield clickies are caster level 20 so one cast at the beginning of the quest sees you through to the end. Especially as a martial class, Shadowdancer Cover of Darkness is low hanging fruit in a tree you already want to be in.
