Dungeoneer’s Shield

Armour (shield), uncommon (requires attunement)

Components: aberration brain

From the faraway land of Drakkenheim, a wise adage from a pair of seasoned adventurers states that a sharp sword and sturdy shield will get you deep into many a dungeon, but only knowledge and a sharp wit can ensure that you come out alive.

This shield has 4 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

Sharp Surprise. As a bonus action while wielding this shield, you can extend or retract the blade within it. While the blade is extended, it can be used as a magical shortsword, but the shield increases your AC by 1 instead of 2. If you are proficient with shortswords or shields, you are considered proficient with this shield and shortsword.

Tier List. As a bonus action while wielding the shield, you can expend 1 charge to ask a question about a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. The question must be about one of the attributes listed in the table below, and the answer you receive is always in the form of a letter indicating what interval the attribute is in.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: Increase the charges to 6. The shield increases your AC as normal while the shortsword is extended.

Very rare variant: Increase the charges to 6. While wielding this shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC, and the shield increases your AC as normal while the shortsword is extended. The shield has the Heroic Recovery property.

Heroic Recovery. When you roll a 1 on an attack roll made with the shield’s shortsword, you can narrate an incredible and unlikely recovery from your fumble in a grandiose and flowery manner. If you do, you can reroll the attack roll with advantage. Once this property of the shield has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
