Medals of Merit

Medal of the Horizonback

When you would be hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to increase your AC by 5 until the start of your next turn, including against the triggering attack. You must be wearing the medal and able to see the creature that made the triggering attack to use this property. Once this property has been used, it can't be used again, and the medal becomes nonmagical.

Medal of the Maze

When you use an action to trace the maze inscribed on this medal, you gain advantage on Wisdom checks and know the quickest route to the end of any nonmagical path or maze for 1 hour. Once this property has been used, it can't be used again, and the medal becomes nonmagical.

Medal of the Meat Pie

You gain 2d4 + 2 temporary hit points when you use an action to press this medal to your mouth. Once this property has been used, it can't be used again, and the medal becomes nonmagical.
While magical, this medal is slightly warm to the touch (as if it's fresh from the oven) and smells faintly of baked pie crust.

Medal of Wit

You can press this medal to your temple as an action. Doing so gives you advantage on Intelligence checks and Intelligence saving throws for 1 hour. Once this property has been used, it can't be used again, and the medal becomes nonmagical.
