Wondrous Item, Shield Properties: Attunement Weight: 27lb

A heavy rectangular silver slab with a mirror finish.

Origin Story. As you take this shield into battle, it remembers the enemies encountered, gaining +1 to AC on any subsequent encounters with creatures of that type. The events of the battle are intricately engraved onto the shield's surface (which has a seemingly endless capacity for detail). You may also attempt to recount past encounters (real or otherwise) to the shield. If you recount a past encounters that did not occur, you must succeed on a DC16 Deception (Charisma) check to engrave it onto the shield's surface. Three failed attempts at recounting encounters cause the shield to be cleared of all its memories and all bonuses are lost, clearing all engravings back to a mirror finish.
