Description and use¶
Armor (Shield), Rare (Requires Attunement) You gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class against ranged attack rolls while you wield this Shield.
This bonus is in addition to the Shield’s normal bonus to AC.
Whenever an attacker makes a ranged attack roll against a target within 5 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to become the target of the attack instead.

Weight¶
Weight per inventory unit: 6 lb.
Uses the PHB Shield base-item weight; DMG magic armor/weapon form rules (PDF pages 219–220).
Counts multiply by inventory quantity. Ammunition quantities count individual pieces; other bundle entries and complete packs use the printed bundle weight. Do not add the same contents separately when using a complete equipment pack. See Carrying capacity for character limits.
