Shield of Dusk. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the target is an undead or fiend, they take an additional 7 (1d8 + 3) radiant damage and must succeed a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be stunned for one minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This weapon is silvered for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunities.

Reactions

Shield Barricade. When the novice has to make a Dexterity saving throw to take half damage, the novice can immediately use their reaction to gain advantage on the save, and the novice takes no damage on a successful save or half damage on a failed save.
