Are there some sort of written guidelines for what spells can, or cannot, be placed on DC items as use/day? Is something like Shadow Shield, specifically, considered too powerful for 1/day use?

I would think there would be some reasonable line, otherwise what's the point of wasting 1 of 3 class picks and 2/3rds your character levels if you could instead just go all fighter/weaponmaster/rogue and just pocket-mage yourself the cherry-picked benefits of an entire 4th class?

If not, then balance suffers greatly. The best, most advantageous thing in the game head above anything else be a full-stat meleer that's more or less cheated the 3 class/30 level limitation of NWN by hand picking whatever suits them from the caster classes.

By contrast, no mage or cleric can put in a request for weapon-master crit/threat range, epic weapon spec, barb rages, HiPS, immunity to crits, etc.

The scrolls are already available. The only difference between a use/day situation is gold, really. I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibilities, but its naturally going to be an item that demands a healthy amount of RP justification, in order to be able to produce such a powerful spell regularly.

Shadow shield has always been denied as a use/day on items in the past

Shadowshield is too powerful for a use/day, sadly. 5 AC (No AC amulet needed), immunity to necromancy, death magic, and negative energy damage, and some DR to boot.

Death ward... maybe. Definitely not shadow shield.
