This set of armour for common mounts covers the head and main body of an animal. It is fashioned from the metallic scales of a young bronze dragon. The image of draconic wings has been embossed on both flanks of the barding. The scales conduct electricity almost perfectly towards long straps of fabric that hang loosely from the sides of the armour and discharge energy. When held in place on a mount, it expands and fastens over the course of 1 hour, granting the following properties to that creature:
- The creature gains a +1 to AC.
- The creature gains immunity to lightning damage.
- The creature has disadvantage on stealth checks that rely fully or partly on hearing.
While riding the creature that is wearing this barding, the rider gains resistance to lightning damage. The creature wearing this armour can choose to, as an action, cause bronze draconic wings to emerge out of its front shoulders from the winged design on both sides of the armour, granting it a flying speed equal to its walking speed. After 1 minute, the wings retract and shrink, turning back into raised symbols. This feature may be used once per long rest.
Notes: Resistance: Lightning
