Ashen Armor (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.
The Ashen Armor is made up of a chestplate, leggings, gauntlets, and boots. Each grants their own separate properties, which are enhanced when the whole set is worn together. Each individual piece does not require attunement, but takes one attunement slot when wearing the entire set of Ashen Armor.
Ashen Chestplate. While wearing the Ashen Chestplate, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, resistance to fire damage and advantage on saving throws against being paralyed or stunned. This becomes immunity to fire damage and the paralyzed and stunned conditions while wearing the full Ashen Armor. Additionally, while wearing the chestplate your hit point maximum increases by 15.
Ashen Leggings. While wearing the Ashen Leggings, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and resistance to cold damage. This becomes immunity to cold damage while wearing the full Ashen Armor. Additionally, while wearing the leggings your hit point maximum increases by 13.
Ashen Gauntlets. While wearing the Ashen Gauntlets, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and resistance to lightning damage. This becomes immunity to lightning damage while wearing the full Ashen Armor. Additionally, while wearing the gauntlets your hit point maximum increases by 9.
Ashen Boots. While wearing the Ashen Boots, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone and being pushed or pulled. This becomes immunity to the prone condition while wearing the boots with the rest of the Ashen Armor. Additionally, while wearing the boots your hit point maximum increases by 8.
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. Each piece retains their individual properties if another piece is destroyed.
