The Amulet of the Altruistic Aegis

The Amulet of the Altruistic Aegis

Description

This tarnished silver amulet carries the resemblance of a kite shield.
When the wearer puts themselves in harms way for the sake of guarding another, the shield reacts to their selfless intent, keeping the wearer from suffering most of the damage, as well as ensuring the defense of nearby innocents.

Mechanics

Created with D&D5e in mind, this item contains 3 charges, replenished after a long rest. One can use a single charge as a reaction to take the damage from a single attack on a creature within movement range. When doing so, the user can use their movement without provoking attacks of opportunity, and gains resistance to the incoming damage type for that turn.
