Barrier Bracer
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
Tired of seeing spellcasters effortlessly deflect attacks while you have to lug a heavy slab of metal everywhere you go? Branton Quark sees you, and he’s come up with the solution: the forcefield produced by the barrier bracer replicates the shield spell almost exactly, while letting you decide how much power to put into each activation! Shield: it’s not just for wizards anymore!
The bracer has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn.
Hexpansive Defence. While wearing this bracer, when you or a creature you can see within 5 feet of you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to spend up to 5 charges, causing the shield to grow progressively larger with each one. The target of the attack gains a +1 bonus to AC against the triggering attack for each charge spent in this way.
Hextech Recharge. As an action, you can slot a gemstone worth 50 gp or more into the sword, which immediately destroys the gemstone and regains 1 charge. Once this property of the weapon has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
---------------------------------------
Rarity variant: Increase the charges to 12 and the recharge to 1d8 + 4. The bracer has the Repulsive Field property.
Repulsive Field. When the bonus to AC from the Hexpansive Defence property causes an attack to miss, if the attacker is within 5 feet of its target, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked back 10 feet and fall prone.
