🌌 Bracers of the Night Sky (Sentinel Shield)
Wondrous Item, uncommon (functions as Sentinel Shield)
Elven craftsmanship – half the weight
While holding this Shield, you have Advantage on Initiative rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks. The Shield is emblazoned with a symbol of an eye.
"These polished silver bracers appear simple, almost unadorned, at first glance. They consist of three interlocking, wide rings that protect the forearm. At the center of each bracer rests a midnight-blue gemstone, so deep blue it appears almost black.
If the wearer is attacked in battle, the stone begins to glow, and a crack-like pattern spreads from it. From this shimmer emerges a shield the size of a tower's shield – as if the night sky itself had burst open.
Countless tiny stars twinkle in the cracks, while a single, larger star shines especially brightly, like the eye of a goddess watching over the wearer."
Visual Effect in Use:
With every attack that hits or is aimed at the wearer, the "crack pattern" briefly flares up.
The starry sky within the gemstone appears alive—stars twinkle and change their position as if they were real celestial bodies.
The light slowly fades once the danger has passed.
Special Features:
Half the weight of a normal Bracers, due to Elven craftsmanship and mithral.
Minor Property – Guardian: The wearer subconsciously senses dangers in their surroundings, as if a watchful star were shining in the sky above.
