Plate Armors built in Asteron tend to be more bulky thicker, but also heavier than the usual plate armors.
While you are wearing heavy armor, piercing, and slashing damage that you take from all nonmagical weapons (and even some magical weapons) is reduced by 3.
(Cant be combined with the "Heavy Armor Master" Feat. Your DM decides, which magical effects trigger this damage reduction and which not.)
While the armor provides enough agility to let you run with it, its heavy design slows the wearer down quite a bit. Unless you have Strenght score of 19 or higher, your movement will be reduced by 5ft.
The Heavy Plate Armor is designed to safe your life from great danger. However, that design brings its own disadvantages with it. For certain parts of the armor, you will need extra hands to help you equip this to your body. Even with help you will need 10 minutes to put on this armor. Without help you simply cannot equip or unequip this item.
Since the armor is made for combat situations, depending on you physical state, moving with this armor for a long time will be extra exhausting.
Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body.
