A long forgotten far Northern Barbarian tribe Chieftain made a pact with a devil for the power to unite his people over 1000 years ago. The Devil provided him with this belt in exchange for his soul which still inhabits this belt. The belt can only be attuned by a barbarian. Once attuned the wearer gains resistance to fire damage and +2 to Constitution (Max 20). Whenever the wearer enters Barbarian Rage, he is under effect of the spell Fire Shield (as described below) and deals an additional 1d6 fire damage with his melee weapon attacks when a warm shield is in effect or 1d6 Cold damage when a cold shield is in effect.
Certain magics and rituals may remove the soul of the old Chieftain from the belt and send him on to the Nine Hells. If this happens all functions of the belt cease except for fire resistance and the belt no longer requires attunement. The Chief's soul prefers to remain in the belt and will resist such measures.
Fire Shield:
Casting Time: Instant upon activation of any form of Barbarian Rage
Range: 5' for damage effects, 20' for light effects
Duration: Ten minutes or until rage subsides, whichever is shorter
Thin and wispy red flames wreathe your body for the duration, shedding bright light in a 10 foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The warm shield grants you resistance to cold damage the cold shield makes you immune to fire damage. In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the shield erupts with flame. The attacker takes 2d8 fire damage or 2d8 cold damage.
Notes: Resistance: Fire, Bonus: Constitution Score, Melee Weapon Attack: Fire, Barbarians Only
