Armor made from the cured bark of the xyxl tree is stronger and lighter than steel and possesses the unique ability to nourish its wearer. The source of the xyxl tree’s immense durability is the mithral particles it secretes in a rigid lattice throughout its wood. The art of curing the slow-growing xyxl bark is known to but a few denizens of the fey lands to which it is native.

If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the xyxlbark version of the armor doesn’t.

If you attune to xyxlbark armor, it nourishes you, causing you to gain 2 temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns.

Your druid wild shape gains +1 to its ac while you wear this armor.
