Item: Command Cuirass
This +1 half plate is imbued with a series of runes designed to amplify your voice on the battlefield. You are more readily able to command and motivate the troops, even over the din of battle.
Activate—Motivate 1 (concentrate, manipulate)
Frequency once per hour
Effect For 1 minute, the volume of your voice is temporarily enhanced, and you gain a +1 status bonus to Diplomacy and Intimidation checks.
Trait Effects
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.
