# Arrow-Catching Shield *Armor ([shield](Mechanics/CLI/items/shield-xphb.md)), rare (requires attunement)* - **Armor Class**: 2 - **Weight**: 6.0 lbs. You gain a +2 bonus to [Armor Class](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/armor-class-xphb.md) against ranged attack rolls while you wield this Shield. This bonus is in addition to the Shield's normal bonus to AC. Whenever an attacker makes a ranged attack roll against a target within 5 feet of you, you can take a [Reaction](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/reaction-xphb.md) to become the target of the attack instead. *Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 231.
