We have a long running Ravnica D&D campaign, and Nicol Bolas just bit it (killed by NPCs we helped, long story). Not sure how official these are, but for those not familiar with him, here's a write-up I found for NB: https://imgur.com/r/dnd/HSWITIT
Anyway, the GM said we were able to recover some scales from his body, and said that they could probably be used in magic items. We know a guy who makes magic weapons/armor, and in general, the GM is open to us spending money to make custom magic items, or buy regular things, although the prices often follow something kind of like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/3dzvsq/sane_magical_item_prices_now_in_convenient_pdf/
My character wants to get some magic studded leather made using the scales for studs. Anyone got any cool ideas of something thematic and reasonably balanced?
For background, I'm playing a goblin fighter (battlemaster) archer (crossbow expert, etc.). We just hit 12th level, and the party is fairly strong. Some of the custom items that we've found in game have been quite strong.
My initial thoughts were to play up the mental effects of Bolas:
+2 studded leather
Resistance to psychic damage
+2 to wisdom saves
Fearsome presence: "Once per day, as a reaction, when a creature attacks you, they make a DC XX will save or become frightened of you, forcing them to give up their attack and run away until the end of their turn. This movement can provoke AoO."
Thoughts? Other ideas? I figure this is ultimately going to be a Legendary item for a high level character, so having multiple powers seems reasonable here.
