Scepter of Faith
Rod, very rare (requires attunement by a cleric)
This rod is imbued with the last remaining magic from a pious saint. While holding the rod, you can use a bonus action to cast the shield of faith spell from it on a creature other than you within range. When an attacker within 60 feet of you deals damage to a creature under the effect of this spell, you can use your reaction to cause a spectral shield to appear before it and push the attacker 5 feet away from the creature.
In addition, while holding the rod, you can use an action to cast either the guardian of faith or find the path spell. When cast in this way, find the path can only be used to find the route to a temple or other holy site. Once the rod has cast either of these spells in this way, it can't be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn.
"Lo! Though beset by tribulations on all sides, know those that hold faith in hand and act first for their fellows shall not be struck down, but raised up in protection from strife and delivered from their enemies. Their hands shall be guided by mercy and they shall be shown to a place of rest."
—Final precept of Father Pauma, last saint of the Shieldbearer

I came to ask a similar question. Is the intention to prevent the damage as well? Like the shield spell?
That reaction knock back is cool but am I missing anything that prevents the interrupted creature from just using movement after it's attack to move back and stay in attack(opportunity) range or even resume a multi attack. It's only 5ft. Seems like it will most often just be a mild inconvenience.
