Forged in the divine fires of Volkan, the god of creation, this magnificent golden shield radiates both craftsmanship and ferocity. At its center, the snarling visage of a lion is intricately engraved, its gleaming jaws wide open in an eternal roar. The teeth, razor-sharp and unnervingly lifelike, serve a deadly purpose—warriors can wedge the heads of fallen foes between them, temporarily gaining access to the abilities their enemies once wielded. The shield thrums with latent power, allowing its bearer to cast Thunderwave three times per day using a bonus action. Its divine design sharpens the senses and reflexes of its wielder, granting Advantage on Initiative rolls and Perception checks. Curiously, all who wield the Aegis of Volkan find themselves able to speak and understand the ancient Draconic tongue. More than a shield, the Aegis of Volkan is a testament to the raw, creative force of the divine, blending protection with the spoils of conquest.
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: Advantage: Initiative, Advantage: Perception, Bonus: Passive Perception, Language: Draconic, Detection, Warding
