Solar Armory

Solar Guard

Shield, Uncommon

This golden ornate shield was used by the Empire of the Sun’s foot soldiers, and their armies were called the Rising Sun, as the sun reflected off of these golden shields in massive troves that looked like sunlight itself was pouring down the hills. You gain a +1 bonus to your AC while holding the Solar Guard, and as a bonus action, you can cast the Light spell targeting the shield. While the shield is affected by the Light spell, any target attacking you that has the Sunlight Sensitivity trait has disadvantage on their attack rolls if they can see the shield.
