Mantlet

Cost:

This portable, miniature wall is typically made of wood or wicker, is “U” or “L” shaped, and provides protection to those behind it. A mantlet can have spikes on the bottom for planting it in the ground or wheels for rolling it along the ground. You can move and set a mantlet as part of your movement, but you move at half your speed. A damaged mantlet can be repaired during a long rest, provided it isn’t destroyed and you have woodcarver’s tools.
