Assassin Suit[edit]
Light Armor
|
An assassin suit is built for the kill, made of damage resistant fabric (sidenote: this does not mean it grants any form of resistance, it does nothing of the sort). It weighs 4 lbs. It is built with specific compatibility with the hidden blades. You do not need a tinkerer or tinkers tools to equip or unequip them to this armor (and hence yourself); however, if you doff (remove) this armor, any Hidden Blade equipped in this manner stays attached to the suit, and is unequipped from you. This suit is equipped with toe spikes, so your speed is not reduced when climbing on surfaces that the spikes can grip, such as if the wall is soft like dirt or wood, cracked, etc.
Variant: You can buy an alternate version of this Assassin suit that costs only 300 gp. This version still has the climbing bonus and the compatibility with Hidden Blades, but it does not grant any AC. Instead, it is considered clothing, and counts as being unarmored for the purposes of bonuses, such as the Monk's unarmored defense and unarmored movement. When you get another ability that makes you climb at normal speed (like a 9th-level monk), your speed instead doubles on applicable surfaces while wearing this Variant version of the Assassin suit.
