Various parts of this +2 resilient half plate are forged into the shape of a lion's head. The golden lion heads grant you a commanding presence and seem to actively growl at your enemies, granting you a +2 item bonus to Intimidation.

The lions on the armor work in tandem with the lion on a lion's shield. If you critically hit with the lion's shield using Lion Bite, the lions on the armor roar in support of the shield, causing the target of the shield's Strike to become Frightened 1.

Activate—Roar of the Pride 2 (concentrate)

Frequency once per day


Effect The lions on your armor roar, attempting to cow your enemies. Attempt a check to Demoralize each enemy within 30 feet of you. On a critical success, the target is also Fleeing for 1 round.


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.
