Item: Blade Byrnie (Greater)
Instead of chain links, this +2 resilient chain shirt is assembled from metal "leaves" that each resemble a small blade.
Activate 1 (manipulate)
Effect You pull a link from the armor, which transforms into a +2 greater striking Dagger. The dagger disappears and reappears as a link in the armor after you Strike with it, or at the end of this turn if you don't make a Strike. You can Activate the blade byrnie in place of an Interact action to draw a weapon for abilities such as the Quick Draw feat.
Upgrading the runes on the blade byrnie makes the daggers pulled from it more powerful. The daggers have a +2 weapon potency rune if the armor has a +2 armor potency rune, or a +3 weapon potency rune if the armor has a +3 armor potency rune.
Trait Effects
Flexible: The armor is pliable and doesn’t hinder most actions. You don’t apply its check penalty to Acrobatics or Athletics checks.
Noisy: This armor is loud and likely to alert others to your presence. The armor’s check penalty applies to Stealth checks even if you have the required Strength modifier.
