This item is crafted from a sheet of sturdy wood roughly the length of a small humanoid with four small iron wheels attached to the bottom (weighing about 4 lbs). This vehicle allows a creature with balance and control to glide gracefully across flat terrains without the aid of mount or steed. 

On your turn, you can make an Athletics skill check as a bonus action to utilize this vehicle. The base DC for using this item is 10. On a successful check, you gain an additional 15 ft of movement on your turn (30ft if you take the Dash action on the same turn). If you succeed the check with a 15 or higher, you also do not provoke opportunity attacks this turn. 

Additionally, you can reinforce this item to be sturdier by taking it to a skilled artisan. Reinforcing the board with a particular material costs the same as buying leather armor or splint armor for a small humanoid. If you reinforce the board in this way, the artisan will also put leather grips on the bottom so that you can use the glideboard as a shield. If reinforced with leather, this shield grants +1 AC, and if reinforced with metal this shield grants +2 AC (but is also now twice as heavy). 

This vehicle cannot be used on land that is considered difficult terrain for your character. 

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.
