Warlock Pact Boon: Pact of the Shield[edit]
Pact of the Shield, Warlock Pact Boon
After a 1-hour ritual, you may summon a shield of your patron or enchant a shield you own. If you summon a new shield or enchant a new shield the previous shield returns to your patron or is no longer enchanted. If you enchant a shield that is magic, it retains the benefits. Your enchanted shield can be used as an Arcane Focus.
You are considered proficient in the shield you summon or enchant. Its AC bonus can be replaced with your Charisma Modifier. The enchanted shield can be used as a weapon, make a melee spell attack roll for the shield, it deals 1d4+chr bludgeoning damage, and it can be thrown with a range of 30 feet.
As a bonus action, you can teleport your enchanted shield back to you as long as it is within a mile of your location. If it is in a creature’s possession, it must make a strength saving throw against your spell save DC, on a success the teleportation of the shield is cancelled. On a failure the creature loses possession of your shield, and it returns to you.
