Armor of the Dead
Description: This hauntingly beautiful armor is crafted from dark, metallic scales that shimmer with an eerie, ghostly light. When worn, the armor seems to whisper softly with the voices of the departed, offering both protection and unsettling power to its wearer.
Properties:
-
Necrotic Resistance: While wearing this armor, you have resistance to necrotic damage.
-
Spectral Ward: Once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to create a spectral ward around yourself. For the next 10 minutes, you gain an additional +2 to your AC and advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
-
Death's Embrace: As an action, you can call upon the spirits of the dead to aid you. All creatures within 20 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15). On a failed save, a creature takes 4d6 necrotic damage and is frightened for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half damage and is not frightened. This ability can be used once per long rest.
Curse: While attuned to this armor, you are haunted by the whispers of the dead. You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
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: Attunement Description: To attune to the Armor of the Dead, you must spend a short rest (at least 30 minutes) in quiet contemplation, wearing the armor. During this time, you can hear the faint whispers of the departed souls that reside within the armor. These whispers might share glimpses of forgotten memories, cryptic warnings, or eerie lullabies. Once attuned, you form a bond with the armor, allowing you to access its special properties. The voices of the dead grow louder and more persistent, their presence both a boon and a curse. Breaking Attunement: To break attunement with the Armor of the Dead, you must spend another short rest without wearing the armor, focusing on severing the connection with the spirits within. The whispers gradually fade away, leaving you with an unsettling silence., Str. 15 Required, Stealth Disadvantage
