Description
This armor is made of narrow vertical strips of metal riveted to a backing of leather that is worn over cloth padding. Flexible chain mail protects the joints.
This heavy armor is made using salvaged pieces of a dragon turtle's shell and can fit on a variety of common mounts. Once worn, the armor expands over the course of 1 hour to cover the creature with a defensive shell and enhance its natural abilities, granting it the following benefits:
- The creature gains a +1 bonus AC.
- The creature can breathe air and water.
- The creature gains a swimming speed equal to its walking or flying speed, whichever is higher.
The wearer has disadvantage on Stealth (Dexterity) checks.
If the wearer has a Strength score lower than 15, their speed is reduced by 10 feet.
