Shield of Blinding
A blinding shield releases a burst of brilliant light to disable nearby creatures. The named Blinding property is a Pathfinder 1E and D&D 3.5e shield ability; the 5e rulesets do not use it as a core SRD property.

5.5e / 2024
No direct core SRD property under this name. If used in 2024 play, define it as a specific magic shield with an explicit activation, range, saving throw, duration and usage limit. Do not import the 3.x DC 14 Reflex save or +1 bonus-equivalent price.
5e / 2014
No direct core SRD property under this name. A 2014 conversion should use 5e saving-throw and condition language, including the 2014 Blinded condition, rather than the legacy Reflex-save mechanic.
Pathfinder 1E

D&D 3.5e
Price: +1 bonus · Aura: moderate evocation · CL: 7th.
