Reinforced Waistcoat
Reinforced Waistcoat
A Reinforced Waistcoat is a simple but incredibly useful protective magic item, worn on the upper torso as a protective, warming piece of apparel. The magic within it transforms and toughens the actual flesh, blood, and bone of the wearer, making them more durable against physical harm, so much so that sword blows may glance off their seemingly supple skin, and even heavy blows from a mace, or the dart of an arrow, may ricochet harmlessly.
That said, the protection of a Waistcoat is not perfect, and if a lucky blow manages to overcome the magic, those blows do full normal damage. There are other protective measures to look at for such situations...for a price.
A Reinforced Waistcoat is a high-quality piece of clothing, which comes in a myriad of designs. It is possible that no two are identical, although such a thing would be tough to prove. They may be simple, heavy jackets of magical leather and rivets, or silken wonders of the embroiderer's art, plain, no-nonsense flannel, mundane-seeming wool coats, or even formalwear. Exotic Waistcoats may appear made of solid metals, covered in exotic wood panels, formed of frozen lava, or even still-liquid lava, and many more variants besides.
Every Waistcoat, however, is remarkably hard to damage, no matter the appearance, and is obviously a powerful magical device. Someone wearing a Reinforced Waistcoat, no matter their appearance, is someone who is ready for trouble.
Note that seperate sources of Natural Armor, such as this item and an Amulet of Natural Armor, do not stack. Wearing two such devices means that only the largest bonus provides any benefit.
The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
