An ornate watch that clicks and whirrs in time with the universe. It always tells the exact time of day and while worn on the wrist it is concealed from spells and abilities that would identify it as magical (ie. Detect Magic or Identify). You and allied creatures within 30 feet of you have advantage on Initiative rolls.
Split Second. As an action you can speak the command word of this watch to have it grow and separate into a shield (Face) and spear (Hands).
Face. While holding this shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC. When a creature attacks you or a creature within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to add a +5 bonus to the defending creature’s AC. If the triggering attack misses, the weapon used to make the attack is magically fixed in place until the end of your next turn and can only be moved before then with a DC 25 Strength (Athletics) check. If the attack was made with an unarmed strike or natural weapons, the creature must instead make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be restrained until the end of your next turn. You can use this property twice per short or long rest.
Hands. This spear deals an additional 1d6 force damage on a hit. If you hit a creature restrained by the Face property with this weapon, the attack is a critical hit.
“The cave is collapsing, Shelby’s just about out of spells, and the dragon’s sure to find us any second. So. Ideas?” Maren scanned over the tired and frightened faces of their party as the sound of falling rocks filled the air. Groaning, Maren racked their brain for any semblance of an idea that could save them from the predicament of their lifetimes.
Just then, a whirring noise caught the attention of all present. As the party turned towards their normally reticent rogue, Amber looked up from their watch which was aglow with light that pulsed in perfect rhythm. “I think it’s TIME we took a SECOND crack at HANDing that overgrown lizard its own FACE.”
“By the gods Amber, do you really want your last words to be puns?”
