[Mythical Arsenal] Nemean Cuirass (Patreon)

Nemean Cuirass

Armour (any medium or heavy), uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: monstrosity pelt

Large, territorial monstrosities with an insatiable hunger for flesh, Nemean lions are remarkably difficult to hunt down due to their resilient hides. Heroes seeking to fell one of these ill-tempered creatures are better served wrestling them down and strangling them instead, which has the added benefit of preserving their valuable pelts. Of course, this is much easier said than done…

Golden Lining. Due to the comfortable fur that lines the inside of this armour, wearing it during a long rest has no detrimental effects. In addition, when you take nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage while wearing the armour, that damage is reduced by 1d4. Once the armour reduces damage in this way, it can’t do so again until the start of your next turn.

Curse. This armour is cursed, and attuning to it extends the curse to you until you’re targeted by a remove curse spell or similar magic. While cursed, you can’t remove the armour and have disadvantage on ability checks made to avoid or escape being grappled. In addition, your Constitution modifier is considered to be 0 for the purposes of determining how long you can hold your breath or survive while choking.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this armour.

Very rare variant: Increase the damage reduction to 1d8, and it also applies to magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this armour.
