thrown shield

Starting at 15th level, your shield can be used as a ranged weapon with a range of (20/60) and have it ricochet between enemies.

after the first hit, your shield can use your extra attack feat to bounce to another enemy within 20 ft of the first. 

make a new attack roll for each hit.

if at any point your shield misses it travels the remaining distance and lands on the ground, or it collides with nearest surface.

if you hit all targets or decide to end the attack, the shield bounces back to you and you automatically catch it.

 

 

Shield savant

At 18th level, Once per long rest when you are required to make a DEX saving throw against a spell and succeed, you can then choose to reflect the spell back at the caster.

the caster (and anyone else caught in the spell) must then make DEX saving throws, as if the spell originated from you.

the dc equals 8+ DEX + prof.
