This solid metal shield has the symbol of Tyr carved into the center of a large black castle tower, the symbol of the Church of Progress. A Bastion Shield is a symbol of honour, awarded only to lawmen or magistrates.
While holding this shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.
An attuned creature can use an action to plant the shield in the ground activating the divine rigidity of the gods. The shield becomes affixed to the surface it is planted on, offering half cover to a creature behind it. Moving the shield when activated is difficult, requiring a DC 20 strength check to pick up and rendering the wielder heavily encumbered while carrying the activated shield. The shield can be deactivated by the attuned user using a bonus action.
An attuned creature can use an action to speak the command phrase altering the shield to create a black tower as per the spell Galders tower as if cast at 4th level. The tower has the following alterations that occur depending on the godly power invoked.
If invoking Torm, god of battle and courage; a rooftop ballista is summoned,
If invoking Tyr, god of law; a third story courtroom with a permanent circle of truth,
If invoking Ilmater, god of endurance and suffering; the tower is clad in adamantine re-enforcements.
Once this feature has been used it cannot be used until 7 days have passed.
