[@Boomrocker]: I know I've probably over-analyzed things previously and the whole paladin thing was a mistake since he is pretty different, but I was trying to suggesting alter the enchantment so it's more effective without being overpowered. I don't know, ice spikes on the spear or ejecting shards of ice into injuries caused by the spear.

I don't want people shifting their abilities around after the RP starts unless they come to me first, and I want your final(to start with) ability set to be in the bio when I start the RP. If you think that this is all nitpicking I'm sorry, but it's my stance as a GM. I want your abilities to be useful and I don't want people changing and editing things after their bio's accepted without talking to me about it first.

Judging your bio has not done anything to delay the RP. It will be starting today, relatively soon if everything goes as intended.

Perhaps adding an enchantment to the shield that freezes weapons that impact it, making them brittle and causing them to shatter until they unfreeze (which would only take a minute or so). At the same time, the icy enchantment on the spear is maintained and duplicated on the arming sword. That way it adds to the defensive flavour of the character, slowing down enemies and opening them up for a riposte.
