The Fluff: Chitin's Doom was an ordinary buckler, found on the floor of the training room of a Thieves Guild by Lear Cain, a budding psionic warrior. Soon after he wore the shield, he was attacked by Rhagodashes, fearsome silverfish-like creatures from the Almedio Jungle. Lear had always been unnerved by such vermin, and this soon turned to outright terror as the creatures captured him in their nigh inescapable grasp, then began to fight over him like starving dogs over fallen table scrap. But the buckler, picked up by mere happenstance, repeatedly saved his life in that battle. Time and again the beasts jaws crunched inches away from Lear's face. And as Lear's fear began to shift to confidence in the newfound buckler, something began to change the buckler itself. Lear could sense that somehow his destiny was now tied to that once castaway hunk of wood. Chitin's Doom is made out of a carved piece of drift wood. Themes for the shield: Nautical (Lear is a former pirate, and the entire campaign is nautical themed.) Psionic (It must be psionic in nature; Lear is a psycic warrior.) Vermin (The player HATES creepy crawly things, and this always bleeds into every character I have seen him play - so any sort of defense against bugs would be great.) The Character is now 3rd level, so the first abilities should manifest soon. I will post more once I get my mitts on my books, but I wanted to see what ideas y'all might have. TIA.
