Woodmen Heirlooms

Bearded Axe (great axe)

The most prized axes have a wide ‘bearded’ head, often scored with ancient runes of victory. The longer blade bites into enemies’ shields, and its hooked end can be used to disarm them.
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. When you attack with this great axe and roll a 20 on the attack roll, instead of inflicting damage, you may choose to destroy your opponent’s shield instead.

Feathered Armour (leather corslet or chain shirt)

Radagast the Brown has blessed these suits of armour with his cunning, and now they don’t seem to make a sound when worn, whether they are made from animal skins or rings of steel. When wearing this armour, you gain a +1 bonus to AC in addition to the normal AC bonus for wearing that type of armour.
Additionally, when wearing this armour, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) ability checks when moving through forested areas.

Shepherds-bow (bow or great bow)

When a bow of any type is deemed very powerful, the Woodmen of Wilderland treasure it and call it a “Shepherdsbow”, as they would use it to protect their herds and cattle from the preying claws of the Eagles of the Misty Mountains. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. When you roll a 20 on the attack roll with this weapon, in addition to the standard extra damage caused by a critical hit, your arrow does extra additional damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
