Bronze Bulwark
Armour (shield), rare (requires attunement)
This mighty shield was forged in the image of the stalwart bronze dragon; an impenetrable defence against
evil and tyranny. A wielder can harness its repulsive
powers to deflect missiles, repel enemies, or hover
above liquids.
The shield has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn.
Repelling Blast. When you are hit by a melee attack
while holding this shield, you can use your reaction to
expend 1 charge and release a blast of repulsive energy, forcing the attacker to make a DC 15 Strength
saving throw if it is within 10 feet of you. On a failed
save, the attacker is pushed up to 30 feet directly away
from you and knocked prone.
Deflection. You can also use this shield’s repelling
property to attempt to deflect projectiles while holding
it. When you’re hit by a ranged weapon attack roll,
you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge to force
the attacker to reroll the attack roll and use the new
roll’s result.
Surf’s Up! The shield is also capable of producing a
gentle repelling field when placed on a liquid, allowing it to hover a few inches above the surface. While
hovering in this way, you can stand on the shield and
speak its command word to make it glide across the
liquid. You control the movement and trajectory of
the shield, which has a speed of 60 feet and can carry
up to 400 pounds. If you take damage while standing
on the shield in this way, you must succeed on a DC
15 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone off of the
shield.
Uncommon variant. Reduce the save DC of the
Repelling Blast property to 13. The shield has 4
charges and regains all expended charges daily at
dawn.
Very Rare variant. Increase the save DC of the Repelling Blast property to 16. You gain a +1 bonus to
AC while holding this shield, in addition to a shield’s
normal bonus.
