Item: Vambrace of Gorum
When the Lord in Iron shattered, immeasurable fragments fell to Golarion as pieces of metal. This piece of his armor has been shaped into the Vambrace of Gorum, a supreme reinforcing high-grade adamantine shield (Hardness 20, HP 160, BT 80). Pieces of sharp iron stick out, acting as +3 major striking shield spikes. The Vambrace still holds some of the deity's power. When the shield is broken, small fragments of metal explode outward, dealing 6d6 piercing damage in a @Template[type:cone|distance:15] (DC 40 Basic Reflex save).
