Item: Rusting Carapace
This +1 leather lamellar armor incorporates the plates of an ore louse's hide, woven together with the creature's own sinew into a functional set of armor. While wearing the rusting carapace, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to AC and saving throws against any effect that would rust you or your items, such as the ore louse's Strikes that have the rust ability or the Rust Cloud spell.

Effect Oxidizing liquid seeps from between the segments of the rusting hide onto a nearby metal creature, non-magical metal hazard, or non-magical metal item of up to 1 Bulk. A targeted creature or hazard gets a DC 24 Basic Fortitude save; a targeted item automatically gets a critical failure if unattended, but a creature holding or wearing it can attempt a DC 24 Basic Reflex save. The rust deals 8d6 damage to a creature or hazard, plus 2d6 persistent damage on a failed save; it deals 2d6 damage to an item, plus 1d6 persistent damage on a failed save.
Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include the hide of an ore louse.
Trait Effects
Laminar: The armor is made up of layered sections, so when it breaks, it isn't as much of a problem. The status penalty to AC if this armor is broken is –1 for broken medium armor, –2 for broken heavy armor, or no penalty for broken light armor.
