Crafted from black iron, this crude suit of +2 resilient full plate is designed to make you look like a horned demon with your face peering out of the screaming maw of the beast.

While wearing the armor, you can attack with the helmet's horns. They're a martial melee weapon with the effects of a +2 weapon potency rune. They deal 2d8 piercing damage and have the deadly d12 and unholy traits. On a critical hit with the horns, the target must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude or become Drained 1 (or Drained 2 on a critical failure). The horns can't be etched with any runes.

If you're holy, you're Drained 2 and can't recover from this condition while wearing unholy plate.


Activate—Demonic Slip 2 (concentrate)

Frequency once per day

Effect You cast Translocate.


Craft Requirements You're unholy; supply one casting of translocate.


Trait Effects

Bulwark: The armor covers you so completely that it provides benefits against some damaging effects. On Reflex saves to avoid a damaging effect, such as a fireball, you add a +3 modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier

Divine: This magic comes from the divine tradition, drawing power from deities or similar sources. Anything with this trait is magical. A creature with this trait is primarily constituted of or has a strong connection to divine magic.

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).

Unholy: Effects with the unholy trait are tied to powerful magical forces of cruelty and sin. They often have stronger effects on holy creatures. Creatures with this trait are strongly devoted to unholy causes, and often have weakness to holy. If a creature with weakness to unholy uses an unholy item or effect, it takes damage from its weakness.


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.
