Armour 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.

 

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

This armor consists of a fitted metal chest piece worn with supple leather. Although it leaves the legs and arms relatively unprotected, this armor provides good protection for the wearer's vital organs while leaving the wearer relatively unencumbered.
