Faction Signifier

Red Watcher Cape - This long finely woven red thistledown cavalier cape embroidered with the symbol of the legion upon its lapel; a dragon coiling around a sword, denotes the wearer as a member of the Draconis Legion, but more than that it empowers them with the strength needed to protect those unable to protect themselves, to lend aid to those in need. The coiling dragon is stitched in a metallic thread denoting the rank of the member. In order from lowest to highest; Copper, Brass, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. The cape itself provides the character wearing it one of four benefits, once chosen this choice cannot be reversed.
  • The character can activate the cloak as a reaction to any creature within 30 feet of them being subject to an attack roll or saving throw, upon activation that creature gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class against the triggering attack, or a +2 bonus to its saving throw against the triggering save. This ability can be used a number of times equal to the wearer's Proficiency bonus, its charges resetting after each long rest.
  • The character gains a +10 foot increase to their movement speed.
  • The character deals an additional 4 damage on weapon attack rolls
  • The character increase one ability score of their choice by one for as long as the cape is worn; this does not stack with other magic items that increase ability scores.
