Brobdingnagian (Armor Magic Property)

Enchant Cost: +9 (epic)

You must be level 21 or higher to equip, wield or wear an item with this property.

A suit of armor with the Brobdingnagian ability is unbelievably huge, having internal mechanisms of eldritch, sorcerous and/or alchemical nature that lends vast strength to the wearer, while giving them the effects of being under a permanent Enlarge Person effect, as long as the armor is worn. This up-sizing effect cannot be 'turned off', being inherent in the Brobdingnagian Armor's construction.

In addition, a creature wearing Brobdingnagian armor is considered TWO size categories larger for the purpose of using or being affected by special attacks that depend on size, such as swallow whole and trample. Thus, a size Small creature is effectively size Huge for resisting combat maneuvers or being swallowed or moved around, while a size Medium creature is effectively size Gargantuan for such purposes.

A creature wearing Brobdingnagian armor adds a mind-boggling 100,000 pounds times the armors enhancement bonus to their Light load, with corresponding increases to their other weight categories. Wearing Brobdingnagian Armor means you can actually carry MUCH, MUCH, more weight, rather than less. A +9 suit of Brobdingnagian Armor thus adds 900,000 pounds to the wearer's light load, with corresponding increases for all other weight categories. Carrying around small buildings or large ships is easily within the capabilities of a wearer of Brobdingnagian armor, although their large size may limit their access to certain areas.

In addition, the wearer can add the armor's enhancement bonus to any Might check or combat maneuver check, or to their Maneuver Defense against all combat maneuvers. Despite its great bulk, the armor check penalty of Brobdingnagian armor is not changed by this property.

Creation: Creator (Feat), Epic Creator (Feat), Bailiwick Check (DC 72), a mythic remnant (tier 8), and an item symbolic of the enchantment.
