A renowned artificer forged this shield from a rare metal which was thought to have been a gift from the stars. It was crafted specifically for a captain of the realm, who was leading a campaign against a powerful cadre of demons intent on taking the kingdom. The artificer imbued the shield with both powerful defensive and offensive capabilities.
After defeating the demonic invasion, the captain continued to use the shield in many battles against the forces of evil, and it undoubtedly saved his life on numerous occasions. It became a symbol of hope and protection, being passed down through time as new heroes arose.
Captain’s Shield
Armor (Shield), Rare (Requires Attunement)
The shield has 3 charges and it regains 1d3 expended charges at dawn. You can use the charges in the following ways while wearing it:
- As an action, you can expend a charge to launch this shield at a target you can see up to 30 feet away. It then ricochets to up to two more targets of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of the first. Each target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. Targets take 2d8 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. It then returns to you.
- As a reaction to being hit by a ranged attack, you can expend a charge to reduce the damage taken by 2d8.
