Armblade (Shield - Small)

An armblade is typically a magic weapon that attaches to your arm, becoming inseparable from you as long as you're attuned to it. In this case, instead of an offensive weapon, it's a defensive shield.  To attune to this item, you must hold it against your forearm for the entire attunement period.

As a bonus action, you can retract the shield into your forearm or extend it from there. While it is extended, you can use the shield as if you were holding it, and you can't use that hand for other purposes.

If a magic shield is added to the Armblade apparatus, the magic shield will break down and be contained within the arm blade and will retain its stats when expanded, similar to how magical weapons can be applied to the Armblade.

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.

Notes: Bonus: Armor Class, Shield (any one-handed shield), common (requires attunement by a warforged), Combat, Outerwear
