Barnaclebound Coat

Armor (light)

Base Armor

• Armor Class: 12 + your Dexterity modifier
• Stealth: No disadvantage
• Weight: 15 lb

Description

This heavy, salt-stiffened coat appears to have been reclaimed from the sea itself. Its leather is cracked and darkened by brine, and clusters of calcified barnacles cling to its surface, fused into the material as though grown rather than attached. When worn, the barnacles occasionally tighten or shift, reacting to impact and motion.

Properties

Sure-Footed on the Waves

While you are standing on a ship, dock, or other wet or unstable surface, you have advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to resist being knocked prone.

Deck Anchor

While you are standing on a ship or similarly wet or slippery surface, you cannot be knocked prone against your will.

Living Carapace

The barnacles harden in response to harm. Once per turn, when you take damage, you gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

Call of the Hull (1/Long Rest)

As a bonus action, you root yourself in place for 1 minute. While rooted:

• You gain a +2 bonus to AC
• You cannot be moved or knocked prone against your will
• Your speed becomes 0

This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or if you choose to end it (no action required).

Notes: Wear overnight during a long rest
