Fighter

Requirements You are a fighter and are wielding a shield.

Item benefit While invested and worn by an eligible Fighter, this item grants the named feat's benefits; they don't stack if already known.

Effect When a foe hits you with a melee Strike, you can use your reaction to Raise a Shield and apply its AC bonus against the triggering attack, potentially turning a hit into a miss.

Limitations You must still have the shield and reaction; no additional Shield Block is granted.

Item activation 1 action; Frequency at will; Requirements wearing the invested item. No spellcasting feature is required.

CantripMagical

Traditions Divine, Occult, Primal

Cast 1 action ◆

Range / Area 30 feet

Duration until the start of your next turn

Effect Grant one creature within 30 feet a +1 status bonus to a qualifying attack roll, save, Perception check, or skill check; the target becomes temporarily immune for 1 hour.

The item casts this cantrip at rank 1 only, without automatic heightening. See the WG spell entry for full rules.

Special Investment is required. The feat benefit applies only to an eligible Fighter. The custom activation does not grant additional actions or class resources beyond those explicitly described, and its two daily uses never refresh when the item changes hands. Spellcasting is not required for the item cantrip, but normal action, targeting, and cooldown restrictions still apply.

GM Placement An Old Macridi Blackjackets checkpoint locker.

Custom homebrew permanent item.
