You throw a small ball at a target under attack, which instantly expands into a wooden physical barrier between the target and the assailing force. The physical barrier provides half cover (+2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws) for 1d4 rounds, at which time it collapses back into unusable junk.
At Higher Levels. For each spell slot above first that this spell is cast, the deployable dam gains +1 turn of deployment time.
At level 3 or higher, the Deployable Dam provides three-quarters cover (+5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws).
At level 4 or higher, the Deployable Dam can be made of metal instead of wood.
Technicals. The Deployable Dam can be picked up or pivoted using a player's Free Action, or Use an Object action. A person carrying a Deployable Dam must use both hands to do so and receives the AC benefits. A person carrying a Deployable Dam made of metal moves at half speed.
Wooden Deployable Dam: AC 15, HP 13 (3d8)
Metal Deployable Dam: AC 19, HP 13 (3d8)
Catastrophic Failure. Guidelines, failure results are subject to the DMs
Miscalculation. The dam is deployed to the correct square, but facing one of the other 3 possible directions.
Missing Part. Instructions Unclear. The deployable dam falls over in its intended location and does not provide protection. A player must pick it up and use a bonus action to put it in place.
Wrong Settings. DMs choice of harmful proximity enchantment.
