You gain the following benefits: **Ability Score Increase.** Increase your STR by 1, to a maximum of 20. **Shield Bash.** If you attack a creature within 5 feet of you as part of the [[Attack]] Action and hit with a Melee weapon, you can immediately bash the target with your [[Fore Lindrov/1. World/Items/Mundane Items/Armor/Shield|Shield]] if it's equipped, forcing the target to make a STR saving throw (DC 8 plus your STR modifier and [[Proficiency Bonus Table|Proficiency Bonus]]). On a failed save, you either push the target 5 feet from you or cause it to have the [[Prone]] condition (your choice). You can use this benefit only once on each of your turns. **Interpose Shield.** If you're subjected to an effect that allows you to make a DEX saving throw to take only half damage, you can take a [[Reaction]] to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and are holding a [[Fore Lindrov/1. World/Items/Mundane Items/Armor/Shield|Shield]].
