Ajax's Shield

The shield of the mighty Ajax, born during the Trojan war and a symbol of the mighty vitality and resolve of it's former bearer. 7 Layers of scored bull hide adorn this weapon atop a base on bronze thick enough to stop a blow from any mortal or god.

While holding this shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC. It also provides a dexterity bonus.

This shield starts with 7 charges to represent each layer of bull hide. You may expend 1 charge as a reaction to do the following effect:

• Negate magical physical damage types
• Automatically succeeds on a spell saving throw for the purpose of spell damage.

These charges never recover as each use strips a layer of bull hide. Upon reaching the final charge, you may instead wish to infuse your shield with more protection, expending the charge but melding the bull hide fibers magically with the brilliant bronze shield below and infuse it with an extra +1 AC.

This shield offers resistance to non-magical physical damage types at all times, whether in hand or worn on the back.

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, Resistance: Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Attacks, To attune to this shield you must spend 8 hours per attempt which requires a successful DC 16 constitution check. This can only be attempted once per day as a failure means the shield deems you unworthy to wield it., Combat, Warding
