Summary::A cleric named Traeken developed this shield idea as a last defensive measure for his undead-besieged fortress. After a year of the siege, warriors armed with these shields were able to push back the undead horde for as long as was needed to evacuate the fortress. Traeken’s defense is a +1 large steel shield that becomes +3 against undead opponents. In addition, against undead only, the shield may cast searing light as a 5thlevel cleric. After three uses, the shield may not use the spell again until it is left in the sun to recharge for three hours.
