[Gummydusa] Wafer Shield of Sliding (Patreon)

Wafer Shield of Sliding

Armour (shield), uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: Dragon (jörmungummdr) wafer spine

Contrived as a means of quickly navigating the Grand Bakery of Babaganoush, wafer shields that surf on their torrents of icing have become an increasingly common occurrence.

Sugar Slide. As a bonus action while wielding this shield, you can doff it, throw it to the ground, and jump atop it as it spouts a torrent of magical icing. For 1 minute or until you use a bonus action to hop off the shield and don it once more, you move by riding the shield, which glides on the icing it produces at a speed equal to your walking speed. While moving in this way, you don’t provoke opportunity attacks, and if you travel 20 feet in a straight line towards a creature and then immediately hit it with a melee weapon attack, the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Once this property of the shield has been used, roll a d4. On a 1 or 2, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

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

Rare variant: Increase the DC to 15. The item has the Hot Chocolate property.

Hot Chocolate. Whilst surfing on the shield, you splash scalding hot chocolate to either side. When you move within 5 feet of another creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. A creature can only take this damage once on each turn.
