Shield of Heroic Memories

Whaddya mean your shield doesn't believe we killed that vampire?

Appearance

This perfectly round silver shield initially has a mirror finish. As new deeds are recorded, the events of the battles are intricately engraved on the shield's surface, which has a seemingly endless capacity for detail.

Mechanics

Shield, Rare, Requires Attunement

When an attuned wielder takes the shield into battle, the shield remembers enemies that have been encountered and defeated, granting a +1 AC on any subsequent battle against creatures of that type.

The bearer of the shield may also attempt to recount past battles (real or imagined) to the shield by making a DC 15 Performance of Deception check. After three failed attempts at recounting stories, the shield wipes its memory clean, reverting to its initial mirrored state and losing all bonuses.
