The Cursed Shield
Cursed lawful shield +2
This shield once belonged to Hamfist Cursed and Curse-Giver.
If the bearer of this shield should suffer a physical attack that would kill them, every ally of theirs within 30 feet must save versus death. The first ally to fail their save is slain in place of the bearer.
It is said that should a brave warrior don the shied and defeat a worthy foe in single combat, the curse on the shield will be broken.
Should the curse be broken, the shield gains the following effect: the first time the shield-bearer suffers a fatal blow from a physical weapon, they are instead invigorated b the force of the blow rather than harmed.
