Ashen Armor, Variant (5e Equipment)
Armor (breastplate), artifact (requires attunement)
Forged by a mutant minotaur in the Ashen Cape, these battered pieces of charred black armor feel cruel and wrong no matter where they lie. This suit of armor consists of six pieces--a helm, amulet, breastplate, leggings, gauntlets, and boots--that function as a single magic item when worn together. You become attuned to the set of armor as a single item.

Destroying the Ashen Armor. Each piece of the Ashen Armor must be destroyed independently by being smashed to pieces with the Axe of the Minotaur Kings by a creature wearing the Mantle of the Minotaur Kings. If any piece of this armor set is destroyed it stops functioning as a single magic item and each remaining individual piece of armor requires attunement to gain its benefits until the full set is restored.
