I have never experienced that but if the amour lets you put it on, I would make it so the amour would grapple the player and would try and make them move into harms way
i feel like it would start punching itself to hurt the user
Had a cool idea to play one as a homebrew race
It went terrible, having no known languages and 1 intelligence, but it was fun.
tiene buen poto
Do I get a surprise round when someone approaches and the armor attacks?
One of the characters in a campaign I'm running managed to figure out the command word for an animated armor. He was having it travel with them and protect him and attack enemies. One question that came up was does it regain hit points after a long rest (I said no) and can it be healed. This last one has been tougher for me to determine. I see that mending won't work and most of the heal spells say they don't work against constructs. However, I've see where another DM said spells do heal constructs as they do not have such a restriction, e.g. Aura of Life, Aura of Vitality, Enervation, Goodberry, Life Transference, Regenerate and Vampiric Touch can all be used to heal Constructs. Does this sound right? Also, I'm assuming that if it drops to zero HP, then there is no way to "bring it back to life" based on the description; basically it becomes useless scrap metal.
You should have told him that if they aren't creatures then they can't roll Initiative.
"The DM makes one roll for an entire group of identical creatures, so each member of the group acts at the same time."
Your party wins the fight because they can't have a turn in the initiative order. That's how his ruling works, right? (:
Why wouldn't mending work? The spell description specifically says:
"This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can't restore magic to such an object."
As such, the spell can definitely repair the construct, but if it drops to 0HP the DM can then rule that it loses the magic that was on it and mending won't restore it back to functioning as Animated Armor. Or the DM could say it does bring them up, especially if it gets death saves and hasn't failed 3. Ask your DM.
Had the same idea
this is perfect when you want to give your players magic armor as they would have to kill it to get the armor but only for the rare armor or cursed armor
best thing to make the animated armor be is adamantine armor as it would be vertuily inesstructable so the players won't be able to turn the armor to scrap metal and would be a fun way to give your players adamantine armor and to make it a harder fight even though magic can destroy it by casting dispell magic
mmmm that sounds like a weird thing to say imo, like they're trying to nerf your character especially if that happens a lot. Not trying to say they're a awful DM or anything but it just feels off to me having heard a lot of horror stories about this kind of thing.
