Pact of the Aegis (And invocations)
From D&D Wiki
Important Notice[edit]
All Credit for the Pact of the Aegis goes to Quixotic Dragons. I have only made the invocations to go along with the Pact Boon.
Pact of the Aegis[edit]
- You can use your action to create a pact shield in your empty hand or pact armor equipped on your person. You can choose the form that this aegis takes, up to medium armor. You are proficient with it while you wield it. If you create a shield, you can use somatic components while using it.
- Your pact aegis 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 aegis (no action required), or if you die.
- You can transform one magic shield OR one magic suit of armor into your pact aegis by performing a special ritual while you hold it. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the aegis, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact aegis thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient item in this way. The shield or armor ceases being your pact aegis if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different item, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The aegis appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
