Bazelgeuse are known for their explosive scale, but sometimes, they shed scale naturally, and some lucky trappers may stumble across those rare scales, alternatively, those can be harvested on the dead body of a Bazelgeuse. No matter how they are obtained, those scales are valuable material for a very special type of shield. While holding this shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.

When you are hit by a critical hit, you may use your reaction to cause an explosion, every creature in a 15-foot cone needs to make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

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.
