Animated Shield of the Uven Rune

Armor (shield), Legendary (requires attunement)

This shield is made from the scale of an ancient white dragon and imbued with the rune by the frost giants from XXXXX. It has a rune burned into its outward-facing side. A character who examines the rune and succeeds on a DC 20 Intelligence (History) check recognizes it as an uven (“enemy” in Giant) rune that confers great power.

While the shield is attached to your back, you can speak its command word as a bonus action to cause it to animate. The shield leaps into the air and hovers in your space to protect you as if you were wielding it, leaving your hands free. The shield remains animated for 1 minute, until you use a bonus action to end this effect, or until you are incapacitated or die, at which point the shield flies back and attaches to the back of your armor. While the shield is active in this way, you have a +3 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.

Also while you are attuned to the shield, you benefit from the following properties.

• Winter’s Friend. You are immune to cold damage.

• Deadly Rebuke. Immediately after a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal 3d6 necrotic damage to that creature.

• Bane. You can cast the bane spell from the shield (save DC 19). The spell does not require concentration and lasts for 1 minute. Once you cast the spell from the shield, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
