Wooden Battlement Shield

Armor (Shield)

Uncommon Requires Attunement

When you are holding the shield and spend an Action to speak its command word, it transforms into a constructed, 6-inch-thick wall, up to a 10-foot-by-10-foot profile. The wall is made of reinforced wood with arrow slits in the middle of each 5-foot length. A creature looking through an arrow slit is considered to have total cover and cannot be targeted, however it does not block effects that spread around corners, such as a fireball spell. There is a crenellated battlement fixed to the wall at a height of 7 feet, which is wide enough to accommodate Medium or smaller creatures. A creature standing on the battlement is considered to be in half cover. While attuned to the shield, you can touch the wall with a free hand and command it to revert to its shield form and don it as an action.

The wall has all the characteristics of any other 6-inch-thick wall of wood (AC 15, 50 hit points, damage threshold 3). Attacks sufficient to destroy the wall cause it to immediately transform back into a shield, which gains the broken condition, becoming un-useable as a wall until mending is cast on the shield. The shield remains in wall form until destroyed or commanded to return to shield form.
