  Description / Flavor

• Forged from the hardened scales of a young topaz dragon, this shield gleams like polished amber shot through with deep golden fractures. When struck, the scales pulse faintly with a necrotic shimmer, as if the remnants of draconic malice still slumber within.

Shields require the Utilize action to Don or Doff. You gain the Armor Class benefit of a Shield only if you have training with it.
