Guardian's Shield of Retribution

Guardian's Retribution

Description

This +1 shield bears the image of a vigilant guardian standing resolute against a tempestuous storm, etched into its surface with intricate detail.

Magical Aura

When subjected to the spell "Detect Magic," the Guardian's Retribution emanates a moderate aura of Abjuration and an enchantingly faint aura of Evocation.

Details

Type: Shield, rare
Requires Attunement While attuned to the Guardian's Retribution, you can use your reaction to absorb the energy of an incoming spell or ranged attack. The absorbed energy is stored within the shield. On your next turn, as a bonus action, you can release the stored energy as a ranged attack against a target within 60 feet, dealing the absorbed damage back to the target. The stored energy dissipates if not used before the end of your next turn. This ability refreshes after a short or long rest.

History

Originally carried by Sir Eldoroth Conway, the leader of the Knights of the Last Bastion, who gifted it to the party in thanks for releasing them from their ghostly status.
