Chiliad's Buckler Disk
A small, domed disk of polished silver, its mirror surface etched with intricate Celtic style zoomorphic interlace that catches the light like liquid mercury. The design changes every time the disk enlarges or returns to its original size. A replaceable slender leather strap secures it to the wrist.
Powers
It is enchanted with a +1 bonus to armor class regardless of size. The buckler disk may be used by any class permitted to use edged weapons.
With a mere thought, the diminutive three-inch disk enlarges into a formidable spiked buckler, crowned with a dagger like spike. When enlarged it enhances armor class as a small shield. It functions similar to a main-gauche, with a +1 bonus to hit and damage. When in buckler form, the spike sheds light to 5’ and can generate a single magic missile once per day.
Combat Benefits
The artifact grants:
- +1 to Armor Class (regardless of size)
- +1 to attack rolls when wielding the spike
- +1 damage when the spike is used as a weapon
It functions similarly to a main-gauche, combining shield defense with melee offense. The buckler may be used by any class proficient with edged weapons.
Magical Effects
When in buckler form:
- Illumination radius of 5 feet (magical light source)
- One magic missile per day (at the DM's discretion or on a specific trigger)
