Suit of ArmoireArmor 13


Bulwark
Source Pathfinder Blog: April Fools
Type Heavy
Weight 4 bulk

Price An indeterminate amount of one's lifespan, spent driving to the magic item warehouse, navigating its labyrinthine corridors, and consuming meatballs. Also some gold.


This classic, timeless suit of +1 resilient full plate is personally assembled from modular pieces of flat-packed darkwood, doubling as furniture and personal protective gear. To wear or remove the suit of armoire, you must succeed at a DC 41 crafting check (yes, this includes the +10 modifier for an "Incredibly Difficult" challenge); on a failure, you and all creatures within 30 feet must succeed at a DC 31 will save or be overcome with frustration at how you can't follow the simple, easy-to-understand diagrams for assembling the armoire, imposing a -1 status penalty to Will saves for 1 hour.

Effect: Suit of Armoire Frustration


Activate One Action Interact; Once per day; You did not fail at the check to assemble the suit of armoire today


Effect You open a set of doors on the armoire's front, producing one fancy suit of clothes of your choosing.


Activate Reaction Interact; An enemy hits or critically hits you with a Strike, or you fail or critically fail a Reflex save; You did fail the check to assemble the suit of armoire at least once today


Effect You forgot a peg or bolt when you were assembling the suit of armoire, causing it to collapse to pieces around you, though this shields you from harm. The triggering attack is a failure, or you succeed at your Reflex save. The suit of armoire falls apart around you into its constituent panels, leaving you unarmored.

Traits

Common

Anything that doesn't list another rarity trait (uncommon, rare, or unique) automatically has the common trait. This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.

Bulwark

The armor covers you so completely that it provides benefits against some damaging effects. On Reflex saves to avoid a damaging effect, such as a fireball, you add a +3 modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier.
