Templars Shield

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: 1 Minute

With a fervent prayer and a flash of divine energy, a shimmering, golden shield of holy light manifests before you, bolstering your defenses against the wicked. Until the spell ends, your AC increases by 2, and your shield eminates a radiant faint, celestial glow, shedding dim light in a 10-foot radius.

Additionally, whenever a creature misses you with a melee attack, divine retribution strikes them in return. The attacker takes 1d4 radiant damage, as holy energy lashes out in response to their failure.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radiant damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.
