This regal shoulder guard is forged of dark bronze and deep blue steel, etched with angular patterns resembling a ship’s prow and a phalanx’s wall. Once part of a ceremonial cuirass worn by a forgotten warlord, it was reforged after Alexios took command of the fleet. Despite its elegance, it bears no divine symbols—only a single line of script in ancient Greek:
“Order is the armor of the mind.”
Mechanical Effects:
-
Commanding Presence.
While attuned, you gain +1 to initiative rolls, and allies within 10 ft. have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. -
Tactical Intercession (1/short rest):
When an ally within 30 ft. is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to issue a commanding shout. That ally may immediately move up to 10 feet and gain +2 AC against the triggering attack. -
Warden of the Line (Passive):
If you haven't moved since your last turn and are adjacent to an ally, you may impose disadvantage on any attack roll made against that ally once per round.
Notes: Bonus: Initiative
