Caster's shield was the enchanted shield created by Janice Whentom specifically to be helpful to warrior-wizards in battle.[1]

Powers[]

This shield had a +1 enchantment, and its design specifically decreased the chance of arcane spell failure when handled by a mage.[1]

History[]

Janice Whentom was a skilled and ambitious warrior wizard who wanted to carry a large shield into battle and wear her thick armor. She created and enchanted this shield to allow herself to support the battalion she was a part of. Subsequently, caster's shield failed to defend its mistress as Janice died on the battlefield, felled by a stray arrow. Honoring her service and friendship, Janice's battalion returned the shield to the Whentom family.[1]

Caster's shield remained with the Whentoms until sometime before 1372 DR. Eventually, the shield found its way into the old crypt underneath Gillian's Hill not far from Daggerford.[1]
