The Cardinal Weapons[edit]
At 1st level you gain one to the Legendary weapons. Each of the Legendary weapons comes with a certain set of rules and abilities that are enforced under all circumstances.
1. Legendary Weapons innately inhibit each other's experience gain when in close proximity, forcing heroes to adventure individually.
2. Restricted from using any other weapon for combat purposes or for the intent of causing bodily harm to another being. Attempting to do so will cause you to take 1d4 lightning damage and immediately drop the weapon.
3. The assigned weapon will teleport to the user if removed. However it can be moved around the body and can also be shrunk down to an inch width and length for comfort.
4. The Weapon is considered permanently attuned to the user. The attunement cannot be ended by any means short of a wish spell and if the target of said wish spell is unwilling they can make a Constitution Saving throw with a DC of 20, otherwise your attunement ends with the Legendary Weapon and any class levels in this class are removed from the character forever. If you choose to re-attune to the weapon you lose all progress you had previously made and must start again from level 1 of the class.
5. Verbal language is translated to the user into their primary language, and the user can vocalize into their recipient's primary language.
6. Weapons can absorb loot, items, and materials to unlock new variations of themselves. The user can access new transformations provided they reach the level requirement.
7. Weapons can transform into different variations that grant the user new equip bonuses, such as stats, skills and abilities. Variations can become mastered with enough experience, allowing the user to permanently retain the equip bonuses even if they switch transformations. Some bonuses remain exclusive.
8. Weapons have the ability to copy different variations of the same weapon they encounter.
9. Each shield gives a stat point by its rank congruent to the said shields type, and it gives ac by its rank.
Shield Defense[edit]
At 1st level your Shield allows you to take more hits. You starting AC becomes 10 + your Constitution modifier + your dexterity modifier. When you use Change Shield, you gain +1 AC, unless the shield says otherwise. When your shield changes back to your basic shield, your AC goes back to your starting AC.
Change Shield[edit]
At 1st level you gain the ability to alter the appearance and/or abilities of the legendary shield by manipulating the magic in the shield. By using 1 SP point and saying the words "Change Shield", you can take a bonus action to activate this ability which allows you to change your current shield to one to the shields you have obtained or use a shield ability from one of your mastered shields. You can gain different shields by allowing your shield to absorb various materials. Some examples include absorbing parts of a zombie would give access to the Inter Dimensional Zombie Shield, or absorbing lead ore will give you access to the Lead Shield. Coping shields follows a similar process except it doesn't require you to consume the original shield. See the full list of available shields you can use down bellow in the Shield List section.
Basic Magic I[edit]
As the shield hero you have a gift for support and utility type spells. At 2nd level you can cast the Cantrips Spare the dying, Resistance, and Guidance from the Cleric Spell list.
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from the legendary shield. You use your Wisdom whenever a cleric spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Curse Series[edit]
Through Intense rage whether it be the loss of a friend, or from someone who wronged you and got away with it, you unlock a dark power hidden within each of the Legendary Weapons called the Curse Series. At 3rd level you gain the ability to tap into this dark power called the Shield of Rage I. It gives a a dice roll of 2d10 + wisdom + 1d6 fire damage for 2 minutes, and It also grants the ability to attack twice. Also by using the change shield ability you can access this power to burn down anyone who may have wronged you. At the start of each round with the Shield of Rage I out, you must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to your Cleric spell save DC(The first time you activate the Shield of Rage you instantly fail this Check), and If you fail you enter a state of unquenchable rage and will attack anything around you be it friend or foe
Ability Score Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

You gain the ability to cast both the Mending and Thaumaturgy Cleric cantrips as well as the 1st level Cleric spells Bless, Healing Word, and Shield of Faith. To cast a spell at 1st level spell or higher it consumes the amount of SP points of that equivalent level(i.e. Casting healing word at 1st level consumes 1 SP point while casting Healing word at 3rd level consumes 3 SP points). You also cannot cast a spell that is higher than 1/3 your shield hero level rounded up(i.e. If your current shield hero level is 10 you cannot cast the spell Healing Word over level 4).
Shield of Rage II[edit]
Through the intense anger of the enemies you have slain and absorbed into your Shield you have gained access to the Shield of Rage II.
