The Earthshaker is a formidable tower shield crafted from thick layers of steel and iron, boasting a crude appearance that belies its powerful enchantments. Despite its hefty weight and imposing size, it provides great protection to its bearer, offering both physical defense and magical prowess. The shield's true power lies within its hidden enchantments, carefully woven into its structure to provide both defensive and offensive benefits when needed most.
The Earthshaker is a highly coveted item among warriors and defenders for its unmatched defensive capabilities and potent offensive potential. Its rarity and power make it a prized possession for those who seek to dominate the battlefield and command the forces of nature against their enemies.
Attunement:
To attune to the Earthshaker, a creature must spend a short rest focusing on its magical properties, forming a bond with the shield. Once attuned, the wielder gains access to its formidable abilities and can unleash its earth-shaking power with precision and control
Special Features:
- Earthquake Strike: Once per long rest, the wielder can use an action to strike Earthshaker into the ground, activating a powerful variant of the Earthquake spell. This ability creates a 50-foot cone in front of the shield where intense tremors rip through the ground, affecting creatures and structures within range. The ground in the affected area becomes difficult terrain and each creature in that area that is concentrating must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or lose concentration.
- Armor Class Bonus: While wielding this shield, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC.
- Weight and Mobility: Due to its significant weight and size, you are unable to use the Dash action while the Tower Shield is equipped.
