Added 2025-05-31 19:45:13 +0000 UTCWondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
A translucent domed hat with draping tendrils lining its edge. This cap has 3 charges and regains all charges after a long rest.
Stinging Shield. As an action, you can spend 2 charges to cause the tentacles of this cap to become animate and float around you. For the next 10 minutes, you and creatures of your choice within 5 feet of you have a +2 bonus to AC.
Additionally, if a creature hits you or a creature of your choice within 5 feet of you, the attacking creature takes 1d6 poison damage.
Antivenom. As an action you can spend a charge to touch a creature within 5 feet of you and end one effect that poisoned or paralyzed the target by nonmagical means.
The twisting tentacles of a stinging jellyfish instill fear in most creatures large and small. Some however, find comfort and safety amongst their venomous veils, living in symbiosis with their graceful protectors. Even a form made to inflict pain can become a guardian to those willing to brave its sting.
