Adamantine Shield

An Adamantine Shield is a rare Shield that sends enemies Reeling when they miss you with a melee attack.

The dull shine of the adamantine promises this shield could take a thousand beatings -- and still look as good as new.

Special

The wearer of this item gains:

Where to find

Notes

• Contrary to the in-game description of the reeling condition, it appears to inflict an attack penalty equal to the number of stacks rather than simply by 1.
• The Reeling condition from Adamantine Shield is renewed on each successful hit against the wearer, and is removed on miss.
• The effectiveness Adamantine Shield increses the more AC the wearer has, because it triggers on miss, and is cancelled on a successful hit against the wearer.
