Armor (shield), uncommon
This large flytrap leaf has been fashioned into a shield. The outer edge menaces with teeth designed to trap prey, or weapons, in its grasp.
While you are wearing the shield, if a Large or smaller creature makes a melee attack against you and misses, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a DC 13 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is disarmed or, if it made an unarmed strike, the creature is grappled (escape DC 13). The shield closes to entrap the weapon or creature, and does not provide a bonus to AC until it is released. A creature can use an action to remove a trapped weapon with a successful DC 13 Strength (Athletics) check. While wearing the shield you can release a trapped weapon or creature whenever you like (no action required).
Venus swung her arm high to catch the greatsword mid-arc and her leaf-shield snapped shut around the blade. She twisted deftly, wrenching the weapon from her foe before leaping forward to deliver the killing blow.
