Campaign: The Lost Mine
This large steel shield bears the insignia of a purple dragon standing upon a broken arrow.
The "cursed" version of the "Cormyrean Greatshield" is identical in appearance and has the same magical aura as the regular version of the "Cormyrean Greatshield" so even an "identify" spell will not detect the cursed version and will instead identify it as the regular version.
Attuning to the "Cursed Cormyrean Greatshield" curses you until you are targeted
by the remove curse spell or similar magic.
Removing the shield fails to end the curse on you.
Whenever a ranged weapon attack is made against a target within 10 feet of you,
the curse causes you to become the target instead.
While holding the "Cursed Cormyrean Greatshield", you have resistance to damage from ranged weapon attacks.
