Kite Shield of the Wind

As the half-orc warrior and the gnome thief ran for the edge of the cliff, the thief glanced over their shoulder nervously.

“I hate to ask, but do you have a plan? They’re gaining on us.”

The warrior nodded and raised his shield arm, his huge shield casting a menacing shadow over the two of them. “We jump and use the kite shield.”

“What? It’s not an actual kite, you know? Tell me you’re joking.”

The warrior grabbed the small thief by their belt and leapt.

They say the gnome was never quite right after that.

  • Kite Shield of the Wind

    Warrior - Medium

    • Perfect fit. When in the hands of a new owner, this kite shield will resize itself to be a perfect size for them.

    • Formidable. The shield grants you a +2 to AC.

    • Protective winds. Three times per day, you can create swirling winds that makes you and those within 5 feet of you harder to hit (+2 to AC). Saving throws versus wands and breath weapon (Dexterity) are also at a +2 for you and those within 5 feet. This lasts for 4 rounds.

    • Glide, baby, glide. Once per day, you can use the shield as a magical glider. It can hold up to 600 lbs. Depending on the winds (as determined by the GM), you can fly 30 feet forward per round for every 10 feet of altitude you lose. This lasts for up to 10 minutes before triggering a Feather Fall spell-effect. At that point, the shield becomes a shield again and you fall at a safe rate of five feet per round for up to 20 rounds. You can cancel the effect at any time.
