Armor (shield), legendary (requires attunement by a creature with a good alignment)
The Blessed Shield of the Sun is a large, round shield made of shimmering silver and adorned with golden rays of light. It has been blessed by the deities of good and imbued with powerful magic that can protect its wielder from harm and banish darkness.
Properties:
- Armor Type: Shield (+3 bonus to AC).
- Radiant Shield: The Blessed Shield of the Sun emits a bright, warm light that can dispel magical darkness and negate the effects of certain spells. The wielder gains advantage on saving throws against spells and abilities that deal necrotic or psychic damage.
- Shield of Faith: The Blessed Shield of the Sun can be used to protect allies from harm. As an action, the wielder can touch an ally and grant them resistance to all damage until the end of their next turn.
- Banish Evil: The Blessed Shield of the Sun can be used to banish evil creatures. The wielder can use an action to present the shield and call upon the spirits of past avagions to banish any evil creatures within 30 feet. Evil creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 14) or be banished to another plane of existence. The shield has 3 charges and regains all expended charges at dawn.
Additional Features:
- Righteous Aura: The wielder of the Blessed Shield of the Sun is immune to fear effects and gains advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, or possessed.
The Blessed Shield of the Sun is a powerful tool for any righteous hero who seeks to protect the innocent and banish evil from the world. Its holy powers are especially potent in a world as dark and dangerous as Athas. However, its power comes at a cost - only a creature with a good alignment can wield it, and it must be used with caution to avoid depleting its charges too quickly.
