Armor (plate), legendary (requires attunement)
Gifted by the Chaos God Khorne to his acolytes this armored collar is a massive slab of iron edged in brass with runes of protection and strength engraved in blood-red ink. The collar is bestowed upon a chosen champion who spills blood in the name of Chaos and provides a row of spikes upon which the recipient collects the skulls of their enemies. The collar is more than just a status symbol however and it provides a unique blessing to the user. Khorne's hatred for magic users is contained in the protective blessings of this armor.
While you wear this armor, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC and you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. When you first attune to this armor, roll 2d6 and consult the Blessings of Khorne table and gain the corresponding properties, rerolling any property rolled more than once.
