Lattice Shield

Armor (Shield)

Uncommon Spend a short rest harmonizing with the Lattice Shield's gauntlet. You must be a Feywilder to do so. Requires Attunement

Charges: 2x the User's Proficiency Bonus   Special Maneuvers
  • Deflection - The Lattice Shield can be raised as a Reaction if the owner is to be hit by an attack. The attack can be redirected back at a target of the user's choice for half the damage that would have been rolled otherwise. The wielder must make an Attack roll using their Spellcasting modifier or their Dexterity modifier against the chosen target. It can also be raised as a Reaction to give Advantage on a saving throw for an AOE attack or spell. Using either Reaction expends one of its charges.
  • Expanded Field - Activate the Expanded Field as a Bonus Action by expending one charge of the shield. The Lattice Shield can emit a 15 feet long, 5 feet deep, 10 feet tall wall of energy for up to 1 minute, which moves perpendicular to where the user is aiming, with the user, but the user cannot move more than 15 feet on their turn. This field provides Full Cover for every ally standing next to it. It can be deactivated and returned to its normal size as a Free Action.
  • Magecraft Shield Bash - After making a successful attack with another 1-handed weapon, you can make an Attack with the shield as a Bonus Action, by expending one charge. You make the attack roll with your Strength modifier or your Spellcasting Modifier, whichever is higher, and you are considered Proficient if you have Shield Proficiency. This attack deals 2d8 Lightning damage, adding your Spellcasting modifier to the roll. This attack's damage scales with your level, dealing 3d8 Lightning damage when you reach 11th level, and 4d8 damage when you reach 17th level.
  •   Effects
  • While lowered, the Lattice Shield adds the equivalent of Medium Cover.
  • While raised, the Lattice Shield adds the equivalent of Full Cover. This reduces the user's movement speed by 5 feet while it is raised.
  •   Special Properties
  • Galvanic Augment - Allied projectiles or projectiles fired by the user, fired from behind the Lattice Shield, gain the user's Proficiency Bonus in extra Lightning damage and 45 feet of additional effective range.
  • Magecraft Device
  • Passive Recharging - This device regains all of its uses after finishing a Long rest. It can be recharged by 1 if its user raises their Volatility by 1 to recharge it.

  • The Lattice Shield is a lightweight, Koleos-designed, 1-handed magecraft gauntlet that can emit a deflection field, held in place by magically suspended Aetherion Crystals. The shield covers a wide area and can deflect projectiles back at attackers or redirect them at other targets of the user's choice. This magecraft device can only be operated by a Feywilder, such as an Aphorini, Koleos, Lunaea, or Taekataen, but offers substantial full-cover protection. While the wide coverage mode is active, its field accelerates projectiles that pass through it from allied targets, enhancing their force of impact with the addition of Lightning.
