Added 2025-07-31 21:50:04 +0000 UTCArmor (Shield), Artifact, Requires Attunement
AC Bonus: +2
Damage: 3d4
Damage Type: Piercing
“An exemplary shield made from the fossilized skull of a Triceratops, an ancient beast that was known for its piercing horns, and defensive capabilities.
Crafted from the beast’s skull, the iconic horns of the creature remain allowing for the shield to be not only an additional layer of defense, but a powerful and deadly battering ram. Giving any creature that dares raise its blade against you an example of how good these creatures were at defending themselves.
Azure crystals seem to have taken root throughout its fossilized structure, seemingly fortifying the natural bone where it has been damaged. Strange.”
The Best Defense... While wielding this shield, you may treat it as a Martial melee weapon and can make attacks with it using your Strength modifier. Attacks with the shield deal 3d4 Piercing damage.
If wielded in your off hand, you can treat this shield as if it has the Light property.
Riposte - When a creature misses you with a melee attack roll, you can take a Reaction to make a melee attack roll with the shield against the creature. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency modifier and regain all uses on a Long Rest.
Call the Spirit ... (The name of the ability is out first tease as we continue prehistoric month. Stick with us to find out the rest of this archeological mystery.)
