Aura strong conjuration CL 17th
Slot shield; Weight 15 lbs.DescriptionThis shield behaves in all ways as an absorbing shield until
its owner attempts to use its disintegration power in combat.
Once he does, it instead causes one or more monsters to pour
forth from the shield and attack the nearest creature each
round (including the shield-bearer) for 1d6 rounds before
retreating by the safest possible route. If there is no such
path for them to escape, the monsters fight to the death.
To determine the nature and number of the monsters, roll
2d4 to determine the level of the summon monster spell
and roll 1d3 to determine the number of creatures that
appear. Monsters conjured by this shield remain until killed,
act as normal for their kind, and are treated as summoned
creatures with a permanent duration.
Once its curse activates, the shield calls forth monsters three
times per day, approximately every 8 hours. If the monsters
cannot emerge directly from the shield and survive (for example,
because it’s buried or underwater), they instead appear at the
nearest safe location within 50 feet. Successful curse-breaking
magic cast on the shield restores it to its previous guise as an
absorbing shield and allows its wearer to abandon it.ConstructionRequirements absorbing shield; Cost —
