Hide & Seek
Armour (any light), rare
Component: pouch of Plant leaves
After a group of wood elves, accustomed to slower foes, was ambushed by a warren of kobolds, the elves realised they couldn’t rely on their speed and agility. Instead, they adorned their armour with countless leaves, infused their goggles with chlorophyll, and hid in plain sight. When the kobolds attacked again, they were easy pickings for the elves.
This armour has 7 charges and regains 1d4 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn.
Verdant Veil. While wearing this armour, you are indistinguishable from a shrub to creatures that haven’t seen you move or act. While you are motionless, a creature that can see you can discern your true nature by using its action to make a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Additionally, while wearing the armour, you can expend 1 charge to take the Hide action as a bonus action.
Wild Hunt. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack while wearing this armour, you can expend 1 charge to mark it as your quarry. Your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 against your quarry, and you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit. A creature remains your quarry for 1 minute, until it drops to 0 hit points or falls unconscious, or until you use this property again.
---------------------------------------
Uncommon variant: Reduce the charges to 3 and the DC to 13. The armour regains all expended charges daily at dawn. The armour doesn’t have the Wild Hunt property.
Very rare variant: Increase the DC to 16. You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this armour. The armour has the Unerring Strike property.
- Unerring Strike. When you miss a creature with a weapon attack while wearing this armour, you can expend 1 charge to gain a +10 bonus to the attack roll and the attack ignores half cover and three-quarters cover as it weaves around obstacles, potentially turning the miss into a hit.
