Phoenix Breastplate

This golden breastplate has the shape of a phoenix worked into its design. While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and resistance to fire damage. When you're reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. When you do, a fiery explosion surrounds you. Hostile creatures within 30 feet of you must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You and other friendly creatures within the area regain a number of hit points equal to the same amount, instead of taking fire damage. Once this property of the armor has been used, it can't be used again until 1d6 + 1 days have passed.

This armor consists of a fitted metal chest piece worn with supple leather. Although it leaves the legs and arms relatively unprotected, this armor provides good protection for the wearer's vital organs while leaving the wearer relatively unencumbered.
