Oath of the Iron Maiden

Paladins that commit themselves to this Oath, commit themselves to a life encased in their armor. These individuals have a bond with their armor unlike any other, choosing to remain in metal encasement for the remainder of their days. Whilst is normal for their sallet or helmet to be removed, no other part of their body may be exposed unless dire need. 

As the Paladin gains more experience in their personal prison, they learn to utilize it more, and able to push their enhanced armor to the peak of its ability.
