Eijilund Softshield (3.5e Equipment)

Eijilund Softshield
''Sir Tarkis does the only thing he can, and throws his Eijilund Softshield at the ghost at Mach 3, skirting Mach 4 even! The shield explodes, and rebounds back to him.''

Eijilund Softshields are strange shields which look awfully lot like an eijilund plushie with shield straps on its back. While not sentient, it animates and squirms slightly when used. It can be used as a shield which counts as a light shield, and offers a +0 AC shield bonus, no Max Dex, no armor check penalty, and a 5% arcane spell failure. It can be enhanced as a normal shield, and is considered a masterwork shield. It's also a potent throwing weapon with a range increment of 30 feet and deals 2d6 + your strength modifier in fire damage on impact with a 20/x2 critical. Unlike a normal returning weapon, the shield comes back to you instantly allowing you to throw the shield multiple times a round according to how many attacks a round you have.

3/day, you can throw the eijilund softshield and as a free action cause it to explode violently into a fireball with a caster level equal to your character level. The DC is 10 + 1/2 your HD + your modifier for attack rolls (typically Dex). This is in addition to the damage from a successful attack.

Though the eijilund softshield has a +0 shield bonus, it is effective against some attacks. When using the eijilund softshield you gain DR 5/piercing or slashing as long as you retain your shield bonus to AC.

''I like the shield, but I really wish it would stop giggling whenever battle begins. Is... is that normal?''
