This overly large shield weighs 15 pounds and is covered in dozens of overlapping sheets of metal across its face. While you have this shield equipped you can activate the shield as a bonus action by uttering the command word. Until the beginning of your next turn you are Restrained as metal plates begin flying off the shield and forcefully forming around your body. Starting at the beginning of your next turn while the shield is activated your AC is 17 + your Dexterity modifier (max 3), including the shield. This counts as wearing medium armor. If you are already wearing armor when you activate the shield the plates begin flying off but are unable to form around your body and return to the shield. The shield deactivates in the same way it activates, and all the plates return to the face of the shield.
If this large seed wasn’t covered in intricate carvings of leaves you might think that it was just another fruit pit someone threw out.
As you attune with this item it slowly begins to sprout, sending tendrils around your hands and arms.
As a bonus action while you are touching the seed you can command it to activate. When you do so the seed springs to life, covering you in armoring vines over the next turn. You can don the armor in this way once per short rest.
While wearing this armor you have an AC equal to 13 + your Dexterity modifier and if you know Druidic you can speak to the vines, gaining a climbing and crawling speed equal to your walking speed as the vines assist you. You can choose to doff the armor as a bonus action, causing the vines to shrivel and fall off by the end of your next turn, the seed returning to its dormant state.
Each of the bucklers from this set has two spines, one on either side that slope to a razor sharp tip, giving it the shape of an eye. The main body of the bucklers has a hammered finish while the spines are both polished perfectly smooth. As you initially inspect the bucklers you can not find any way to wear them. There are no straps or handholds, simply an engraved name on the back of each buckler.
While you are are attuned to these bucklers and within 120 feet of them you can gesture or call to one or both of them as an action. When you do so they will fly to you if able, going around obstacles and creatures, before snapping into place on your forearms. They float several inches off your arm, moving with you as if they are attached.
They can not be moved from your arm unless you allow it. When you brush one or both of them off as a bonus action they will fall to the ground.
While wearing these bucklers you can not wield a shield but you gain +1 to your AC. Additionally, you can make melee attacks with proficiency using these bucklers as if they are a Light Finesse weapon and they deal 1d6 Piercing damage.
