Avenger - Twin Shield of the Rolling River clan

Avenger, one of the twin shields wielded by the honored heroes of the Rolling River clan, is made of a darkened steel. Near-obsidian in color, with a matte finish to reduce gloss, has an inlaid red gem at the center of it's face. This gem can be imbued with a spell and cast once per long rest. It can only hold 1 spell, though it is possible to imbue it with a spell higher than level 1.

Grants the ability, En Guard. Ability recharges at a short or long rest.

When you or an ally within 5ft is the target of an attack you can see, you can use your reaction for one of the following benefits:

- +5 bonus AC to the target for the duration of the attack

- After the attack, you may move up to your speed. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks

- Make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature

- Gain advantage against the attacking creature until the end of your next turn.

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.
