This radiant shield gleams with the blue and gold colors of Athena’s divine protection. An eagle’s head adorns the front, and its aura instills unwavering courage.
Divine Protection: While holding the Aegis, you gain a +2 bonus to AC.
Blessing of Wisdom: Once per day, you may cast Shield of Faith on yourself as a bonus action.
Counterstrike: When a creature within 10 feet of you makes a melee attack, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. If the attack misses, you can make a melee weapon attack against that creature as part of the reaction.
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, To attune to the Aegis, the wielder must stand in a sacred place of wisdom or battle, such as a temple to Athena, or defeat a formidable foe in single combat. The shield binds to your heart and spirit, granting its power.
