Once per long rest, you can call upon the magic secret powers of the armor. When you do so, thorns magically appear all over the armor, giving you extra protection and possibly some kind of counterattack power. This effect lasts for 1 minute, during which your DR (Damage Reduction) earned from the feat is doubled and added to your total DR. Also, if during this time you are attacked by some attack electible to be reduced, a special condition is activated.

If the DR is equal or greater than the damage taken from the attack, the attacker receives that damage instead. Otherwise, the damage is simply reduced (taking into account the new DR that you have because of the armor).

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.

Notes: This armor can only be attuned by a character with the Heavy Armor Master feat, Damage, Combat, Warding, Str. 15 Required, Stealth Disadvantage
