Magic Items

Illithid tech flavour

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

These dark-red bracers with golden trim bear the seal of Candlekeep’s Gatewarden.
While wearing these bracers, you have proficiency with the longbow and shortbow, and you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls on ranged attacks made with such weapons.

Armor (shield), rare (requires attunement)

This gold-trimmed red shield is emblazoned with Candlekeep’s coat of arms.
You gain a +2 bonus to AC against ranged attacks while you wield this shield. This bonus is in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC. In addition, whenever an attacker makes a ranged attack against a target within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to become the target of the attack instead.

Very Rare
This shield appears as a shroud of shadow with the symbol of the Raven Queen glowing in dim red light.
While holding this shield, nonmagical flames are extinguished within 30 feet of you as the shadow lashes out at the flame. The shield encourages you to hold no pity for those who suffer and die, for death is the natural end of life

Rod, very rare (Requires Attunement by a Warlock)

Formed from the severed tentacle of a powerful star spawn, this rod plagues its wielder with dreams of alien creatures that beckon them to travel deep within the Thunder Peaks, where something patiently awaits their arrival.
While holding this rod, you gain a +3 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells. In addition, you can regain 1 warlock spell slot as an action while holding the rod. You can’t use this property again until you finish a long rest.

(reminiscent of your shield guardian modifications),
