The Animated Glass Shield looks like a 1-foot size hexagonal glass plate made of an unknown material. Once attuned you may activate or deactivate it. Once active, the Animated Glass Shield is nearly invisible and floats 1 to 3 feet away in your personal space to protect you, leaving your hands free. It will move anywhere around you in order to block the first attack per round. If you become incapacitated or die, the Animated Glass Shield falls to the ground.
The shield grants +2 to AC. The user can also use a shield in addition to the Animated Glass Shield.
The main power of the shield is that it blocks only the first direct attack that would hit you. Examples of direct attacks the shield can block: 1 ranged attack, 1 melee attack, 1 magic missile, or 1 spell bolt attack. Examples of attacks that can't be blocked: AoE spells, mind attacks, or attacks that require saving throws (i.e., Toll the Dead).
The one flaw of Animated Glass Shield is that it can be fooled. If someone has a successful surprise attack, "sneak attack", feint, or flourish against the user it will get through if a successful "to hit" attack rolls against your AC.
Notes: Bonus: Armor Class, Animated Glass Shield, Requires Attunement, Utility, Warding
