[Four Factions] Tactician’s Turret Ring (Patreon)

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

Component: Elemental (earth) bone

Designed by the master strategists of the Last Legion, these rings have been used to control and conquer countless conflicts. Commanders have been seen lifting grand defences from the earth in battle. They’ve also been seen massaging their fingers. The rings are really heavy.

Tactician’s Tailored Barriers. While wearing this ring, you can use an action to cast the wall of stone spell (save DC 16). When you cast the spell in this way, you can sacrifice a number of the panels it produces in order to augment the wall with one of the following additional defences:

• Archer (2 panels): The wall is lined with arrow slits, crenellations, walkways, and staircases on one side (your choice). Creatures using the arrow slits have three-quarters cover from effects on the other side, and creatures on top of the wall have half cover against effects from below.
• Moat (3 panels): You create a moat of mud or shallow water that extends 10 feet out from one side of the wall (your choice). The moat is considered difficult terrain, and any creature that enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. As part of this defence, you can add a drawbridge that spans the length of the moat. The drawbridge is 5 feet wide, has an AC of 15, and 60 hit points. It can be raised or lowered as an action by a creature on the side of the wall without the moat.
• Oil (4 panels): Each creature within 10 feet of one side of the wall (your choice) when it’s created must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
• Abatis (5 panels): You create a line of spikes that extends 5 feet out from one side of the wall (your choice). Each creature that is in this area when you create the wall must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 piercing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. In either case, the creature is pushed back 5 feet, out of the spikes’ area. A creature that enters the spikes for the first time on a turn or starts its turn in the spikes takes 1d4 piercing damage.

This property can be used three times, regaining all expended uses daily at dawn.

Rare variant: Reduce the DCs to 15. The Tactician’s Tailored Barriers property can only be used twice, regaining all expended uses daily at dawn. Remove the Abatis defence option.
