Your Constitution score increases by 2. Also, depending on your subrace, another Ability Score will increase.

An animated armor may be months or centuries old. The maximum lifespan of an animated suit of armor is still unknown.

You are a Construct. Still, you are able to be healed with healing magic and potions, as your essence absorbs the arcane power of spells and potions to repair your exterior. In addition, Wisdom (Medicine) checks can be made to stabilize you.

Your size is Medium, and can be between 5 to 7 feet tall.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

While remaining motionless, you are indistinguishable from a normal suit of armor.

Your construct existence is a sign of fortitude. You gain extra benefits:

• You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.
• You gain proficiency with Light Armor, and can only inhabit armor with which you are proficient. When your essence is created, you are given a suit of armor to inhabit: if your class does not grant you any armor as part of your starting equipment, you inhabit a leather suit of armor (AC = 11 + Dex modifier); if your class grants you some other type of armor with which you are proficient (e.g. clerics are proficient with medium armor and are given scale mail as part of their starting equipment), you can inhabit that armor instead.
• While living, you cannot be separated from the armor surrounding your essence by any means. Only when you die, the suit scatters to the ground as an inanimate object.

You are able to leave your current carcass in order to inhabit a new one. Over the course of a short or long rest, you can perform a 1 hour ritual to possess a new suit of armor. You must remain within 5 feet of the new armor during this process, or the ritual fails. If the new suit of armor requires attunement, you immediately attune to it at the end of the ritual. You gain different benefits depending on the type of armor you inhabit.

• While inhabiting a suit of Light Armor you are swift and dexterous: your Dexterity score increases by 1; you gain proficiency in Dexterity (Stealth) checks and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks; your base movement speed increases by 5.
• While inhabiting a suit of Medium Armor you are deadlier in battle: either your Dexterity score or your Strength score increases by 1; you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action if you have previously taken the Attack action; your melee attack range increases by 5 feet.
• While inhabiting a suit of Heavy Armor you use your weight to your advantage: your Strength score increases by 1; you gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class; once per turn, you deal an extra 1d6 force damage to one creature you hit with a melee attack.

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice that your creator may have taught you.
