Shield of Blitzing
Three times per long rest you may activate this shield with a bonus action. The front of the shield produces a 15 foot cone of light forcing all targets in the area to make a Constitution saving throw equal to 10 + your proficiency modifier. On failure the target becomes blinded for 30 seconds and can make a new save at the start of their turn. On success the blindness ends.

Thoughts?

Don't magic items usually have a saving throw DC independent of the user?

Uh maybe...? Figured it would be nice to have it scale with the players if someone wants to keep using the shield so it doesnŽt just progressively get left behind compared to new magic items.

I'm going through magic items and the general trend seems to be that save DCs scale with rarity:
- Uncommon - save DC 13
- Rare/very rare - save DC 15
- Legendary - save DC 17

There are, of course, exceptions here and there.

Alrighty so IŽd suppose this is an uncommon shield
