Boss Bonus

Leveling up shouldn't be the only way to make your players stronger. At the DM's discretion, certain powerful enemies will distribute a certain bonus. When a boss creature is defeated, the DM may roll a D20 on the Boss Bonus table or choose a bonus from the table that he/she believes best suits the player/situation. Alternatively, the DM can choose to create their own bonus and give that to the player instead.

Shields As Weapons

Shields can be used as weapons just as any other tool for combat. They have 2 different sets of stats however. Defensive stats, for when they are equipped as shields, and offensive stats for when they are equipped as weapons. You only apply the stats that fit whichever way you are equipping them, unless a feature or fighting style otherwise allows it. To use a shield's Offensive stats, you must equip them as a weapon. If you so however, you cannot apply the shield's defensive stats unless a feature or fighting style otherwise allows it. Any bonus the shield has applies to both the AC and attack and damage rolls. (Example, a basic shield with a +2 enchantment has an additional 2 AC in it's defensive stats, and when used as a weapon can apply a +2 to attack and damage rolls.) You can only equip a shield as offensively if your are proficient with shields.

See the Equipment section of this supplement for a list of shields.

New Fighting Styles

Shield Warrior

When you equip a shield as a weapon, you can apply the defensive stats as well as the offensive stats.

Spellcaster

Hit And Run

When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you do not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature until the start of your next turn.
