While wielding this shield, you gain an AC bonus of +3 in addition to the Shield’s normal bonus to AC.
Mark of Defiance (Ascendant).
When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can mark it until the start of your next turn. While marked, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you.
You can only have one creature marked at a time. If you mark a new creature, the previous mark ends.
Unyielding Presence.
Creatures you have marked cannot willingly move farther away from you unless they succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, their speed becomes 0 until the end of their turn.
Relentless Guardian.
When a creature you have marked deals damage to a target other than you, it takes 4d6 radiant damage.
The Aegis of the Unbroken has transcended its form, becoming a manifestation of Valkarr Lifekeep’s will. No longer bound by steel or enchantment, it answers only to him—an unbreakable vow given form.
It is said that in the moment Valkarr refused to fall—when even fate itself seemed to demand it—the will of Bahamut did not descend upon him. Instead, it rose from within him.
The dragon emblazoned upon the shield is no longer etched metal, but living radiance. Its eyes burn with ancient judgment, and its presence bends the battlefield itself. Enemies do not merely struggle against Valkarr—they are held in place by something far greater than fear.
Where Valkarr stands, there is no retreat.
Where Valkarr stands, none pass.
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.
Notes: Bonus: Armor Class, The shield resonates strongest with those who stand as protectors of others, embodying an unyielding will in the face of danger. Requires attunement by Valkarr Lifekeep.
