anyway to bypass the shield spell with magic missile?

[flamewolf393]

I have a magic missile mage build that at level 11 he can throw out 330 magic missiles at 9 damage each on the first round of combat.

The main problem is the shield spell. It flat out ****-blocks magic missiles. Are there any feats, spells, or abilities to bypass this effect other than just straight up dispelling it?

Seeing as half its purpose is to block Magic Missile, I'm guessing no.

The third level of Force Missile Mage from Dragon Compendium lets you make a caster level check with the DC being the caster level of the Shield spell or 20, for a Brooch of Shielding, to bypass the spell.

(Greater) arcane fusion magic missle and dispel magic, they hit in the order you want so dispel then damage. Might (probably) not possible based on your metamagic feats.

Use spell craft to identify them casting the shield spell, cast celerity before their shield resolves, and us the action from celerity to blast them with your missiles right before shield goes up.

Adding to the other options, of you can't use arcane fusion due to class restrictions of the spell or Force Missile Mage due to it being Dragon Magazine material, (quicken) dispel magic is probably the best route. If you can manage a feat to get the domain power of the inquisition domain via Catalogues of Enlightenment and 5 levels of Abjurant Champion would let you pop swift action dispels at your CL+4, up to a 14 CL.
