Item: Rebounding Breastplate
This +3 greater resilient greater fortification breastplate absorbs impacts for later release. While wearing the armor, you gain resistance 5 to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and resistance 10 to force damage. Keep track of how much damage the armor prevents from enemy attacks, as the armor absorbs that damage. After 1 minute, the absorbed damage disperses harmlessly and resets to 0. Only damage caused by foes or hazards powers the armor, not damage you take from yourself, allies, or the environment.
Activate—Kinetic Pulse 1 (force, manipulate)
Requirements Your armor has absorbed at least 30 damage
Effect The absorbed energy explodes from your armor in a pulse of force. Creatures in a 30-foot emanation take 12d6 force damage with a DC 43 Basic Fortitude save. On a failure, they're also pushed 10 feet away from you; on a critical failure, they're instead pushed 20 feet away from you and fall Prone. The armor's absorbed damage resets to 0.
Trait Effects
Force: Effects with this trait deal force damage or create objects made of pure magical force.
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.
Medium Armor: You gain resistance to slashing damage equal to 1 + the value of the armor's potency rune.
