PublicationPathfinder #180: The Smoking Gun

Crafted from heavy steel plating and riveted together with cunning precision, this suit of +1 resilient Full Plate is specifically designed to protect against sudden explosions. This added layer of security comes at the cost of movement, however.

Activate R command

Trigger You're affected by an area effect that requires a Reflex save, or you would take splash damage from a scatter weapon


Effect The blast suit locks together into a rigid bulwark, protecting you from the blast but preventing you from moving from your position under any circumstances.

You become Immobilized, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Reflex save against area effects, and gain resistance 5 to all damage you would normally take from area effects and scatter splash damage (this doesn't damage the blast suit). These effects persist for as long as the suit remains in the locked position. You can Interact with the suit to unlock it.

Effect: Blast Suit


Trait Effects

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

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.


Armor Specialisation Effects

The sturdy plate provides no purchase for a cutting edge.

Heavy Armor: You gain resistance to slashing damage equal to 2 + the value of the armor's potency rune.
