Pact of the Aegis [1] (homebrew)
Pact Boon
- You gain proficiency with shields if you did not already possess it.
- You can use your action to create a Pact Shield in your space, floating near you and protecting you as if you were wielding it and were proficient in its use, while leaving your hands free. You can choose the form that this shield takes each time you create it.
- Your Pact Shield can be used as a melee weapon, dealing 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. You may use your Strength, Dexterity or Charisma for attack and damage rolls when making an attack with your Pact Shield. Your Pact Shield also counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- Your Pact Shield disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
- You can transform one magic shield into your Pact Shield by performing a special ritual while you hold the shield. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
- You can then dismiss the shield, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your Pact Shield thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient shield in this way. The shield ceases being your Pact Shield if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different shield, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The shield appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
