Armor (plate), very rare
While wearing this armor, you gain a +2 bonus to AC. In addition, if an effect moves you against your will along the ground, you can use your reaction to reduce the distance you are moved by up to 10 feet.
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: Bonus: Armor Class, Control, Combat, Warding, Str. 15 Required, Stealth Disadvantage

Posted May 9, 2019Is it really needed that you are a dwarf to wear it?
Because "Dwarven Thrower" has this info "Weapon (warhammer), very rare (requires attunement by a dwarf)",
but this item not. Is there a chance that a Dwarven Armor could be forged by dwarves for a human or other race?

Posted Jul 14, 2019no you don't have to be a dwarf, but seeing that it is called dwarven plate, it would normally be sized for a dwarf, with the exception being it being specifically sized for your pc
edit: I reckon that the armor looks cool, but it doesn't fit my dwarves' aesthetic, does I have to look like that?

Posted Jul 24, 2019Well, that depends. If you're the DM, then you can say it looks however you dam please. In DnD, everything is up to the DM and if you don't like something you can just change it.
If you're a player, you'll have to ask your DM.

Posted Feb 12, 2020This armor confuses me. Does it have an ac of its own, or does it just give you +2 to your current armor

Posted Apr 22, 2020Can this item gain the masterwork trait and be increased again with another plus three to become a magical armour?

Posted Feb 8, 2022Where do you report errors? On the AP it makes your AC 22, not 20. The armor itself should only grant 18 AC plus the additional +2 bringing you to 20.-

Posted Sep 16, 2024So, what is the deal with the STR 15 requirement? Per the 2014 rules (which this magic item still shows as its governing rule body), a STR requirement on heavy armor merely reduces walking speed by 10 if you don't have the STR required, all the other drawbacks are linked to proficiency, fair enough.
But this armor is pretty specific dwarven sized (even if it doesn't explicitly say it is 100% limited to dwarves). In the 2014 rules the dwarf race does not have speed impeded by heavy armor, so theoretically the STR 15 requirement is meaningless? Unless the DM allows versions of this armor to be sized for other species? Or is the STR 15 a hard requirement due to it being a magic item, and can't even be used by a dwarf unless STR is 15?
