How to learn
Notes
- If learned via Magic Initiate: Druid, despite listing Wisdom as its casting ability in the tooltip, it will use the casting ability of the class that acquired the feat for both damage and attack rolls. i.e., taking the feat at 4th level in Bard will cause it to use Charisma.
- Martial Arts: Dextrous Attacks will override Shillelagh, causing attacks to use the Dexterity modifier even when Wisdom is higher.
- The enchanted weapon can be unequiped but not thrown or otherwise removed from the inventory.
- The Ironvine Shield provides a retaliatory damage effect when the wielder is hit with a melee attack while holding a weapon that has had this spell cast on it.
- The Ironwood Club deals an additional 1d4 Bludgeoning damage through
if Shillelagh is cast on it. - Shillelagh has two incantations: Canto Te, Latin for "I enchant you", and Para Bellum, Latin for "prepare for war".
