Shield of the Great Badger (Patreon)

Armor (shield), uncommon (requires attunement)

This dark silver shield is stylized in the striped likeness of a badger's face. While holding this shield, you can't be moved more than 5 feet against your will at a time.

The shield has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. When a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to expend 1 of the shield's charges to cause a spectral badger to emerge from the shield and lash back out at the attacker. The attacking creature must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d4 + 3 slashing damage.

The brawler unleashed his full strength, landing strike after strike against his foe's armor, but never felt its telltale budge or collapse. When he looked up, he was surprised to see a smug smirk creep across his opponent's face from over the shield. All at once, he realized: his strength meant nothing in the wake of absolute resilience.
