Item: Suspiratory Chain
A gentle breeze seems to flow through the mesh of this +1 chain mail, which protects against one of the Darklands' signature threats: bad air. You can hold your breath for 10 rounds longer than usual before suffocating, and the armor grants you a +1 item bonus to saving throws against inhaled threats, such as inhaled poisons.
Activate—Gasp 1 (concentrate)
Frequency once per day
Trigger You enter an area where you can't breathe or where breathing would harm you
Effect Your armor filters air to you, allowing you to breathe without harm for 10 minutes or until you return to an environment where you can breathe normally.
Trait Effects
Air: Effects with the air trait either manipulate or conjure air. Those that manipulate air have no effect in a vacuum or an area without air. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of air or have a connection to magical air. Planes with this trait consist mostly of open spaces and air of various levels of turbulence, though they also contain rare islands of floating stone and other elements and energies. Air planes usually have breathable atmospheres, though they might include clouds of acidic or toxic gas. Earth creatures often find themselves at a disadvantage within air planes, as there’s little solid ground for them to gain their bearings, which tends to at least make them uncomfortable.
Flexible: The armor is pliable and doesn’t hinder most actions. You don’t apply its check penalty to Acrobatics or Athletics checks.
Noisy: This armor is loud and likely to alert others to your presence. The armor’s check penalty applies to Stealth checks even if you have the required Strength modifier.
Armor Specialisation Effects
The overlapping rings of chain are designed to deflect piercing attacks and reduce the impact of crushing blows.
Medium Armor: When you take damage from a critical hit, reduce the extra damage by 4 + the value of the armor's potency rune. This is the damage beyond the base damage, as determined on a success.
