Shield of Mercy

This finely crafted shield is engraved with the image of a holy warrior healing a wounded beggar.

A shield of mercy functions as a +1 heavy steel shield and also allows you to channel your destructive power into healing. You can expend a smite attempt to heal a creature by touch. The touched creature is healed of a number of points of damage equal to the extra damage that you would have dealt with the smite attack. If you also wear a magic item that grants an enhancement bonus to your Charisma score, you add the item’s bonus to the amount of damage healed by the shield of mercy. Prerequisites to Craft: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, cure wounds, owl’s wisdom.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp (plus 170 gp for masterwork heavy steel shield), 80 XP, 2 days.
