Athelisia was a Paladin of Helm, the God of Protection, renowned for her selflessness and defense of the innocent and weak. After her death, a small shard of her spirit was bound to her shield.
Once attuned, the bearer of the shield can utter the command word once per day, releasing a spectral form of Athelisia from the front of the shield. She will will defend one person or creature of good or neutral alignment, increasing their AC by 3. Only one creature can be defended per charge and the bearer of the shield determines which creature she defends. Athelisia takes no actions, cannot attack, and cannot communicate but she moves with the creature she is protecting. The effect lasts 1 minute, until the shield is released, or the bearer falls unconscious or dies.
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.
