With an almost ethereal visage, the Bastion of Aegis resembles a rounded, transparent disc approximately 3 feet in diameter. Only the prophet of Aegis can attune to this shield, bestowed unto the prophet during induction.
Allies of Armor. You gain a +1 bonus to AC for every ally within 5 feet of you (up to a maximum of +3) while you wield this shield. This bonus is in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC.
Armor of Allies. When a creature you can see within 5 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to take that damage, instead of the creature taking it.
Light. You may use an action cause the Bastion of Aegis to emanate the light spell.
This shield has 3 charges. The shield regains all expended charges after a short or long rest.
Armor of Aegis. When you use your reaction to take an allies damage, you may expend 1 charge to gain temporary resistance to the damage type.
Enlighten the Damned. The Bastion of Aegis can be used as a lense to focus its magical light on a target. If the shield is emanating the light spell, you may expend 1 charge to use an action to make a ranged or melee spell attack against a creature's AC. On a success, the light spell is transferred from the shield to the target.
Righteous Empowerment. Alternative to a short or long rest, the shield may regain 1 expended charge through a righteous deed. Once per turn after a successful attack, you may make a Religion check against a DC of 17 using the same base ability as the attack. For example, a successful attack with a Greatsword will allow you make a Strength check with your Religion proficiency. Other alternatives may include protecting an innocent from certain and immediate death, heroic sacrifice, or nobly refusing to severely injure a target who is simply misled. These alternatives are up to the discretion of your GM. If it is deemed an unrighteous action by your GM, then it may not be permitted.
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.
