Blacklance’s Bastion Shield in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

World of Aloth

Blacklance’s Bastion Shield

Armor (Shield)

Varies Requires Attunement

This well made heather shield is made from dark steel and has an adamantine frame. It is busted and worn, but standing as strong as the day it was created. Even with its large frame, the bastion shield is light to carry and almost indestructible. The shield is also covered in steel points on the front for bashing enemies.

While holding this shield, you have a +2 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.

Shield Slam. When you have made an attack roll on your turn, you can as a bonus action make a melee weapon attack with the shield. You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls when attacking with the shield. On a hit, you deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier. Instead of dealing the normal shield slam damage when you hit a creature, you can instead choose to deal an amount of damage equal to your AC. You can change the damage in this way twice per long rest.

Towering Shield. If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effects as long as you can see the source of the saving throw.

Type AC STR Req. Stealth Dis.
Shield +4 No
