Description

This is a small, engraved sigil made from aquamarine, fashioned to resemble a tortoise shell. It comes with a specialized adhesive that allows it to be attached to the Tortle's own shell.

Shell Defense Augmentation: When the Tortle uses its Shell Defense ability, the sigil activates, granting an additional +1 to AC while in the defensive posture.

Once per long rest, the Tortle can channel the power of the sigil to gain temporary hit points equal to their level + their Constitution modifier. These temporary hit points last for 10 minutes.

The Tortle gains a 10-foot swim speed bonus and can hold their breath for an additional hour when submerged underwater.

Lore

Crafted by an ancient Tortle shaman who was a guardian of the ocean, the sigil embodies the protective and resilient nature of the Tortle people. It is said to be a gift from the ocean goddess herself, granting its user the resilience of the sea.
