This scale mail is made from a repurposed evasion armor and a hybridized method of Eliksni technology imbued sigil activation. While mind-boggling compact and innocuous in its ready state, the enormous disadvantage to the suit is its supplanted relay contacts in its wearers spine and joints. Being subordinate to its creator’s armor gives it is exorbitant range of motion and maneuverability through numerous active assistance runes, but likewise has a glaring weakness to anti-magic. (The suit is joined with the user and removal is not possible without the wearer’s specific permission.)
Curiously, it is near noise-less and when deployed, it extends a durable, a dark carbon gray, form-fitting, padded shift weave body glove and matching cloak to line its wearer from the dedicated armor portions. The hardened armor sections focus more on the extremities of its user, even employing a subtle kinetic dispersal field on the form-fitting cuirass to stay flexible and keep overall movement unburdened. It extends a triple reinforced kama plate on either side of the wearer’s thighs for deterring blows that allows for a unencumbered fencer stance as well. The cuirass is skin conforming and moisture-wicking, showing a runic script etched on its outward-facing side showing only when deployed. A character who examines the rune and succeeds on a DC 20 Intelligence (History) check recognizes it as an Infernal script (“For my sister” in a stylized, almost calligraphy inspired font) these runes that confers great trust and power.
While equipped the armor, you benefit from the following properties.
Base armor-
Wolven Instinct Add 2 to rolls when making dex based saves
Eliksni/Artificier Delilah updates-
Faster, Better, Harder, Stronger Hyper fluid movements are made more intuitive with an ingrained joint support and impact dispersal system to mitigate any potential kinetic energy feedback. (Speed and acrobatics boosted)
Anonymity Using a series of sigils and robust circuitry embedded into the inner layers of the armor plating, a subtle energy field flares and dissipates detection/lock on methods.
Ghost in the machine A deep dive into reverse engineering the ingrained Eliksni technology results in a unique defensive concept applied in a more evasive, tactically minded technique. But cannot replenish its usage until an overnight reset, since it demands so much of its sigil/refraction array.
Overclock Shunts a dual, narrow band of weave with its dedicated egro-manipulation injectors into the armor actuators to boost movement...However, it has a fairly consequential recharge cycle to reboot afterwards.
But wait, there’s more...! You can transfer the armor’s magic to a nonmagical weapon by tracing the runic script on the weapon with one finger. The transfer takes 8 hours of work that requires the two items to be within 5 feet of each other. At the end, the armor is destroyed, and the rune is etched or burned into the chosen weapon. This weapon becomes a rare magic item that requires attunement. It has the properties of a +3 weapon. The bonus increases to +5 when the weapon is used against one of the following creature types, chosen by you at the time of the magic weapon’s creation: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, or undead.
Flaws-
Unfinished autopilot The armor is so prolifically complicated to stay portable; it even disrupts attempts at identifying other magic.
Over complication Concentrated force saturation wreaks havoc on the more delicate sigil and technology interface systems. But will curiously regain an expended spell/ability slot in the process, since it is purposed to be receptive to such weave manipulation.
This armor consists of a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. The suit includes gauntlets.
Notes: Bonus: Dexterity Saving Throws, Advantage: Stealth, Advantage: Acrobatics, Expertise: Stealth, Disadvantage: Arcana, Set: Speed (Walking), Feat: Choose a Feat, Vulnerability: Force, The experimental weave harnessing collectors are high yield but slow recharge to keep the service life optimal. It capacitors are redundant and reinforced to allow for an all or nothing strategy, but risking anything more from the system can render its attunement relays to potentially fatally injury the wearer., The nano-segmented armor retracts into a network of sub-dermal relay contact embedded across the user’s spine; however, it is magically subordinate to operate under its creator’s command armor. This renders it fairly vulnerable to anti-magic. (Unless anti-magics are involved, removal of the suit and it’s spinal-mounted relay contacts is not possible without the wearer’s permission.), Damage, Buff, Utility, Combat, Deception, Warding, Stealth Disadvantage
