A standard shield with a series of intricate, clockwork glyphs etched into the back. These enchantments siphon and gather positive benefits caused by your presence on the field of battle and can cause amplifications to this energy, turning you into a beacon of support for your allies.
This item has charges. All charges reset at the end of either a short or long rest. Charges can be gained in the following ways:
+1: You or a creature under your permanent control hits with an attack
+1: You or a creature under your permanent control is the target of an attack that misses
+1: You or a creature under your permanent control takes the help action, resulting in a success (hit with attack, successful ability check, etc.)
+1: An ally takes an action that receives a positive, noteworthy benefit due to your positioning on the battlefield (sneak attack, flanking, etc.)
+1: An ally successfully utilizes an item you have either crafted or enhanced in combat (hits with imbued weapon can only trigger once per turn)
+2: You restore an ally to the fight on the correct side or end a harmful status effect of them (cure paralysis, petrified, charmed, dominated, unconscious, etc.)
+2: You, an item you enhanced, or a creature under your permanent control directly turns an ally's failure to success (Via Bardic inspiration, Flash of Genius, an infusion, etc.)
+2: You or a creature under your permanent control takes an action or reaction to stop an enemy from harming an ally (Guard action, Counterspell, shield of faith, etc.)
Once the Aegis of Battle Harmony accumulates 10 charges, the Battle Harmony effect on the Aegis becomes activated. While active, the Aegis emits an aura extending 30 feet in all directions. Friendly creatures within the aura gain a +1 to attack and damage rolls and their weapon attacks count as magical. At 20 charges the aura extends to 50 feet and the benefit becomes +2 and at 30 the aura becomes 75 feet and the benefit becomes +3.
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.
