# Shield Hero
Legends tell of a time when a series of great natural disasters know as the Waves of Catastrophe accrue. Four Holy Heroes are summoned from another world to help end the waves. One of these heroes is the Shield Hero.

### The Saint of the Shield
The Shield Hero, one of the four cardinal hero's and bearer of the legendary cardinal shield, is a warrior that specializes in defending his allies in battle at the cost of his own well being. A Shield Hero embodies the true definition of perseverance and durability as the charge into battle wielding only a shield to fend off the many challenges ahead.

</div>

### The Holy Legendary Shield
At 1st level, you've been chosen to wield the Holy Legendary Shield. While some consider it a blessing, others see it as a curse.

#### Legendary Weapon Rules

While all Legendary weapons comes with a certain set of rules and abilities, the shield has some extra that are enforced under all circumstances.

1. Legendary Weapons innately inhibit each other's experience gain when in close proximity, forcing heroes to adventure individually. If another Holy Legendary Weapon is within 1000 feet of your location, both of the holy heroes will not gain experience. A Holy Hero can be near a Vassal Hero without triggering this limit.

> ##### Option: Rule 1 Exception 
> While legendary weapons would normally not allow Heroes to gain experience while near one another a DM might want to allow experience gain during Wave of Catastrophe or battle with the Benevolent Beasts

2. You are restricted from using any other weapon for combat purposes or for the intent of causing bodily harm to another being. Attempting to do so will cause you to take 1d4 lightning damage and immediately drop the weapon.

3. The assigned weapon will teleport to the user if removed more then 5 feet. However it can be moved around the body and can also be shrunk down to an inch width and length for comfort.

4. The Legendary Weapon is considered permanently attuned to the user. The attunement cannot be ended by any means short of a wish spell and if the target of said wish spell is unwilling they can make a Constitution Saving throw with a DC of 20, otherwise your attunement ends with the Legendary Weapon and any class levels in this class are removed from the character forever. If you choose to re-attune to the weapon you lose all progress you had previously made and must start again from level 1 of the class.

\pagebreakNum

5. Verbal language is translated to the user into their primary language, and the user can vocalize into their recipient's primary language. This ability doesn't work on monsters.

> ##### How does Rule 5 work?
> Rule 5 is meant to give the legendary weapons holder the ability to talk to all languages at least in the setting of the Rising of the Shield Hero. It works in that setting since almost all monsters can't speak. This doesn't translate to d&d 5e well since even some of the civilized races speak exotic and monstrous languages.
>
> This book suggests treating it like the following. The legendary weapons holder can understand and communicate with any creature that knows the standard or exotic languages other then Deep Speech. The weapons would not translate for creatures like elementals that understand Primordial but would never converse with humans.

6. The Legendary Weapons can absorb loot, items, and materials to unlock new variations of themselves. The user can access new transformations provided they reach the level requirement.

7. The Legendary Weapons can transform into different variations that grant the user new equip bonuses, such as stats, skills and abilities. Variations can become mastered with enough experience, allowing the user to permanently retain the equip bonuses even if they switch transformations. Some bonuses remain exclusive.

8. The Legendary Weapons can changes forms as a bonus action on your turn for free.

9. The Legendary Weapons have the ability to copy different variations of the same weapon they encounter.

#### Unique Holy Legendary Shield Properties
The Holy Legendary Shield Properties gives the following additional properties at 1st level.

1. The Legendary Shield gives you a permanent +5 to your AC. In addition even if you are hit by a natural 20, the roll must at least meet your AC in order for you to take damage.
2.  The Legendary Shield prevents you from dealing any significant damage, unless it comes from another shield skill or an unarmed strike. The unarmed strike can't do more then 1 bludgeoning damage, unless another shield gives it more power.
3. As an action the user can Defend, in doing so they double the AC bonus that the equipped shield has until the start of there next turn.
4. You gain the Shield Master Feat.

\columnbreak

#### SP
Wielders of the Legendary Weapons use a unique type of magic system for their skills and magic. This system, *often referred as the SP system,* shows up as SP in their status menus.

The number of SP you have is based on your Shield Hero level, as shown in the SP column of the Shield Hero table. The number shown for your level is your base SP point maximum. Your SP total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of SP you have can’t go below 0 or over your base maximum unless you get a new weapon form that increases the value.

#### SP Limit
Though you have access to a potent amount of SP, it takes training and practice to use it properly. There is a limit on the number of SP points you can spend to activate a skill. The limit is based on your Shield Hero level, as shown in the SP Limit column of the Shield Hero table. For example, as a 3rd-level Shield Hero , you can spend no more than 2 SP on a skill each time you use it, no matter how much SP you have.

#### Shield Skills and Spells

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your spells and skills. The power of your spells comes from the legendary shield. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you cast.

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 
 
 <center> 
 
 **Spell & Skill Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Wisdom modifier </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:12px'></div>
 
 <center>
 
 **Spell & Skill attack modifier** = your proficiency 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> bonus + your Wisdom modifier </center>

#### Gaining New Shields and Skills
You can gain different shields by allowing your shield to absorb various materials. Some examples include absorbing parts of a zombie would give access to the Zombie Shield, or absorbing lead ore will give you access to the Lead Shield. Coping shields follows a similar process except it doesn't require you to consume the original shield. See the full list of available shields and templates on how you can make your own in the Hero Weapon List section.

#### Changing Shields
You can change your current equipped shield once for free per turn, otherwise needing to change it again requires a bonus action.

\pagebreakNum

#### MP
Wielders of the Legendary Weapons use a different type of magic system rather then the spell slot system for their magic. This system, *often referred as the MP system,* shows up as MP in their status menus.

The number of MP you have is based on your Shield Hero level, as shown in the MP column of the Shield Hero table. The number shown for your level is your base MP point maximum. Your MP total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of MP you have can’t go below 0 or over your base maximum unless you get a new weapon form that increases the value.

#### MP Limit
Though you have access to a potent amount of MP, it takes training and practice to use it properly. There is a limit on the number of MP points you can spend to activate a spell or skill. The limit is based on your Shield Hero level, as shown in the MP Limit column of the Shield Hero table. For example, as a 3rd-level Shield Hero , you can spend no more than 2 MP on a skill or spell each time you use it, no matter how much MP you have.

#### Unique Hero Magic
If the wielders of the Legendary Weapons are willing to take the time to learn the magical language of the world they can learn the unique hero magic spells that normal adventures could never use. These spells require the hero to spend hours studying the magic of the world, the amount of hours is determined by the spell in the Hero Magic section of this book.

### Change Shield (Skill)
At 1st level you gain the ability to alter the appearance and/or abilities of the legendary shield by manipulating the magic in the shield. By using 1 SP point and saying the words "Change Shield", you can quickly swap to another shield and use the new shield's reaction base skill as a single reaction. You have to pay 1 SP to swap and the amount of SP for the skill use.

### Stat Power Up Implementation (Optional)
The Shield Hero Rising setting had another means of getting stronger besides levels, while it worked in that system it might not work in d&d 5e. Because it could possible get broken it is optional content. Ask your DM if you can use any of the Stat Power Up Implementation systems. More details can be found in the Stat Power Up Implementation section.

\columnbreak

### Skill/Shield Power Up Implementation
In the Shield Hero Rising setting the skills that the legendary weapons have can increase the strength of their skills as well as the base stats of the weapon version. In the main setting each weapon has a unique method that interacts with the skills, magic, or base weapon differently. For simplicity this has combined Power Up Points which can be spent to increase the shield/skill abilities. You have to have a base power up points equal to what you see in the Base Power Up Points column of the Shield Hero table.

The amount of power up points you have is equal to the amount to the different power up methods you know times the Base Power Up Points at your level. (For example if your level 10 and you know 3 power up methods the amount of power up points you have is equal to 28 * 3 = 84)

### Shielder's Specialization 
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular Specialization allowing you to either focus further protecting others or allow you to attack some more.

#### Protection
You specialize in prioritize protecting others over yourself.

If you see one of your allies within 5 ft getting targeting by attack, you can use your reaction to give that ally the current shields AC bonus.

#### Offense
You specialize in turning your shield defense bonus into attack power.

Your unarmed strikes now becomes a shield bash that deals damage. A Shield Bash skill now deals an amount of damage equal to 1d4 + your strength modifier + your current shield AC bonus.

\pagebreakNum

# Stat Power Up Implementation (Optional)
In the Shield Hero Rising Setting the legendary weapon wielders gain bonuses to their stats by putting materials from dead monsters into their weapons. This works real well for the video game like setting in which a +3 to Health isn't that much of a bonus, however that doesn't work for d&d as that same +3 bonus to Health is a big deal when it can come from every creature that is defeated. This book recommends that you do the following Stat Power Up Implementation to replicate the idea form the source material. This an an optional stat power method that the DM must approve of before the campaign starts, in addition it is recommend that the stat bonus for this be tracked separately just incase a DM decides that it is to powerful.

Every time a hero collects the material and unlocks a new weapon they can get an amount of stat points equal to the monsters challenge rating to benefit separate stat numbers that's determined by the highest stat the monster has. The amount of the separate stat number determines the actual stat bonus, which can be seen at the table bellow. It is recommended that your stat bonus never be more then proficiency bonus.

It is up to the DM if they want to allow the Stat Bonus increase the base stats over 20, so the new max is 26.

| Stat Bonus  | Stat Points |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | 10 |
|  2  | 30 |
|  3  | 50 |
|  4  | 100 |
|  5  | 300 |
|  6  | 500 |

### Example
As an example, lets see what happens when a hero throws materials from a Fire Snake into the legendary weapon that's level 4 and that the hero already 49 stat points in strength. Since the Fire Snake is a CR 1, and it's highest stat is Strength. That would mean that the Hero Strength Stat Points would increase to 50, but the stat bonus would remain at 2 because the Hero's proficiency bonus is 2. Now if the Hero was at 5th level, their Stat Bonus would increase to 3 because their proficiency bonus is now 3.

# Shield List
The Shield list provided is only a starting guide for characters as each creature that you collect in D&D should give their own shield. It is encouraged to discuss possible new shields with your DM for monsters that you and your party might defeat later down the line. As the current list will only cover the shields shown throughout the original series.

Some shields have a table bellow it, the fist column is the amount of power up points you need to put into a shield in order to unlock the next bonus.

It is recommended that any stat bonus increase never increase more than your own bonus from the Stat Power Up Implementation.

Shield's that have (FM) next to their name means they are Fan Made and not based off anything in the source material.

## Types of Shields
The legendary shield is theorized to have hundreds if not thousands of shields. These shields can be seperated into several different categories, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Counter Attack

* Offensive: Very few shields should be offensive in nature. These types of shields allow the user to directly attack the target. Power Up points are generally spent on making the attack stronger or cost less SP.
* Defensive: Most unlock shields should be defensive in nature. These types of shields often give defensive abilities and skills. Power Up points are generally spent increasing the strength of the shield and effectiveness of the abilities and skills.
* Utility: Most of these shields should be unlocked by absorbing tools, and often give a bonus relating to the tool as well as give the character proficiency with said tool. In rare cases these shields give stat bonuses to yourself and allies. 
* Counter Attack: Counter Attack shields are the main way for the shield hero to deal damage. They always relay on the enemy to attack the hero to trigger the attack. Shields collected from the Wave Boss should always give these types of shields. Power Up points are generally spent increasing the shields defenses and the effectiveness of the abilities and skills.
* Curse: See the Curse Series Section for more information on these shields.

These tend to be unique to most skills, but power up points can often be spent to decrease the SP cost of the skill, if done a skill should never cost less then 1 SP.

### Defensive Skills
Often these defensive skills involve summoning a barrier with it's own health and armor class. If the target hits the barrier and deals damage the damage must be more then the health of the barrier, the amount of damage still left over gets dealt to the ally assuming the same to hit roll at least meet the ally's AC.

For instances like a dragons breath attack that result in a saving throw the barriers fail the saving throw, but negate an amount of damage equal to the health of the barrier. The remaining damage is considered the amount of damage which would then be halved on a successful saving throw.

# Curse Series
The Curse series is a series of weapons unlocked in the Legendary or Vassal Weapons based on the seven deadly sins. They are unlocked with an extreme psychological state and are considered a defense mechanism within the weapons.

## Overview

At the point when a blast of feelings equal to the obliteration of one's heart is conjured, a power coming from the Curse Series is unlocked. The Curse Series is in actuality founded on the seven deadly sins: Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Envy, and Pride.

While these weapons hold great power, they also degenerate the personality of their user. For example, whenever Naofumi utilized the Wrath Shield he was overwhelmed by unadulterated disdain and apathy for others.

Using these weapons result in a both a psychological and physical curse upon the user. For example, Naofumi has his ability to empathize suppressed after he unlocked the Wrath Series and his stats, except for defense, were dropped by 30% after using his cursed abilities. The physical curse will heal over time and can be aided by using hot springs but the psychological effects are much harder to resolve.

> ##### Source or Spirit Accurate
> While in the source material every Legendary or Vassal seems to have it's own unique curse series, skills, and powers, this books suggests using the bellow information as the bases for the legendary weapon skills. It might not be source accurate, but it is spirituality accurate.

\columnbreak

## Curse Damage
Most of the Curse Series give powers that enable the user to deal curse damage. This damage type can't be reduced and cause damage to the maximum health. The health reduction caused by this can only be cured by a long rest, a remove curse spell, or bathing in holy water at which point the damage to the max health is removed but no health has returned. The person who was cursed must take another long rest in order to get their health back.

## Sanity
Usage of Sanity Stat and Sanity Health Bar is recommended to account for the degeneration of the users personality. Most of the Curse Series requires the user to roll Sanity checks, failing these checks can cause the user to stay in curse mod and can sometimes progress the series. Failing a Sanity Check normally causes your overall sanity to go down and in some cases to lose control.

### Sanity Stat & Saving Throws

In the source material we see the Curse Series Users have to fight to maintain their sanity, this will be represented by the users sanity stat. You Sanity Stat relies on your Wisdom and Intelligence scores.

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 
 
 <center> 
 
 **Sanity Stat** = 8 + your Wisdom Modifier + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus </center>

### Sanity Saving Throws
You get a Sanity Modifier like you would get any other Stat modifier. No Class is proficient in this type of saving throw, but any items, spells, or abilities that affect saving throws due affect you Sanity Saving Throws. (ie, a Paladin's *Aura of Protection* and the *Bless* spell do affect Sanity Saving Throws)

You roll a Sanity Saving Throw during the following circumstances:

* Activating your Curse Series Weapons
* Starting your turn with a Curse Series weapon in use
* Some Curse Series Skills

The DC for the Sanity Saving Throw is determined by which stage your curse series weapon is.

\pagebreakNum

### Sanity Points
Sanity points measure the stability of a character’s mind. This attribute provides a way to define the sanity inherent in a character, the most stability a character can ever have, and the current level of sane rationality that a character preserves, even after numerous shocks and horrid revelations.

Sanity is measured in three ways: starting Sanity, current Sanity, and maximum Sanity. Starting and current Sanity cannot exceed maximum Sanity.

#### Starting Sanity
A character’s starting Sanity equals their Wisdom Modifier + Intelligence Modifier multiplied by 5 + 50. This score represents a starting character’s current Sanity, as well as the upper limit of Sanity that can be restored by a spell. After creation, a character’s current Sanity often fluctuates considerably and might never again match starting Sanity. A change in a character’s Wisdom score changes there starting Sanity in terms of what treatment with the Heal skill can restore. Current Sanity, however, does not change if Wisdom rises or falls.

#### Current Sanity
A character’s current Sanity score can fluctuate with the use of Curse Powers as well as failing Sanity Checks. One can only regain sanity through the use of spells or over a long period of time.

You Lose Sanity in the following circumstances:

* Failing Sanity Saving Throws
* Ending your turn with a Curse Series Weapon Active

#### Maximum Sanity
The maximum sanity a character can have is 100, this is generally obtained through the use of magic items or having high stats.

#### Regaining Sanity
One can restore sanity over time or through the use of a high level healing spells.

A week after the person loses some sanity they regain 1d4 + Wisdom Modifier in Sanity points. If the same character were to bath in a natural hot spring during that week the dice is to increase an amount of times equal to the amount of times they bathed to a maximum amount equal to their proficiency modifier.

The following spells can be used to regain or fight the loss of sanity points:
* **Mind Blank:** While the spell is in effect, the subject is immune to Sanity loss.
* **Restoration, Lesser:** If the caster chooses, lesser restoration can restore 1 Sanity point to the subject instead of having its normal effect.
* **Restoration, Greater:** If the caster chooses, greater restoration can restore 1d4 + 2 Sanity points to the subject instead of having its normal effect.
* **Wish:** This spell can restore a character to maximum Sanity even if there current Sanity has dropped to 0. Wish even heals permanent insanity.

#### Out of Control
Upon failing to many sanity checks a person can go out of control, while the effects are different per Curse Series one can regain control by doing the following:

* Their companions can help their cursed friend by willingly taking on their emotion while fighting. While the curse user and the friends that helped will automatically gain the negative effects after the battle, the curse user will regains all their sanity they would have lost. (This can only be done as a reaction to seeing an ally about to lose control)
* Being knocked unconscious ends the cursed person from being out of control, but the user permanently loses those sanity points.

#### Madness
A character can go mad once their sanity goes bellow 30. They gain a short term Madness Effect once they're sanity goes bellow 30 and another one at 20, a long term one bellow 10 and an indefinite madness at 0. The madness traits they gained are determined by the Curse Power they are using.

Madness can be short-term, long-term, or indefinite. Most relatively mundane Effects impose short-term madness, which lasts for just a few minutes. More horrific Effects or cumulative Effects can result in long-term or indefinite madness.

A character afflicted with short-term madness is subjected to an Effect 1d10 hours.

A character afflicted with long-term madness is subjected to an Effect for 1d10 days.

A character afflicted with indefinite madness gains a new character flaw from the Indefinite Madness that lasts until it's cured.

## Curse Weapon Bonus
In the source material Curse Series are always depicted as being the strongest weapon and sometimes allow the user to bypass a weapons unique disability. In order to replicate the strongest weapon no matter what level the user is, this book suggest that the bonus to based off the bellow calculation:

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>

 **Curse Weapon Bonus [Damage or AC]** = 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> Your Strongest Weapon + Your Proficiency Bonus </center>

## Wrath
Wrath can be defined as uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath often reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance. In its purest form, wrath presents with injury, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another grievous wrong dies. Feelings of wrath can manifest in different ways, including impatience, hateful misanthropy, revenge, and self-destructive behavior.

> This book suggests that Defensive Hero's that have unlocked their [Weapon] of Rage use their reaction block an incoming attack. If the attacking creature is within 10 ft of the weapon user a fire erupts from the weapon dealing half the damage the creature would have dealt in curse damage back at them.
