Dragon Turtle Plate Armor

Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body.

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.
