This +1 steel shield has been enchanted to seek out the thick of battle. The minute weapons are drawn anywhere within sight, the shield begins to tug its owner in that direction. The wielder must make a DC 20 Strength check to resist the pull if he fails, he is dragged at a run into the center of combat. For battles within 40 feet of the character, resisting the shield’s pull is DC 25. Once in battle, the shield behaves normally it resists any attempt to retreat while opponents still stand, however. Not everyone sees this shield as a problem for knights thirsty for battle it can actually be useful, since it alerts them to nearby violence.
