Masterwork Armour: Diiavem's Full Plate

by Christopher Heath

Diiavem's Full Plate armour is meant to provide an exciting campaign feature in the way of a powerful artifact that does not imbalance the game. The full plate is useful as a riveting plot device which could be assembled over time (recommended), found as a complete set or scattered throughout a single dungeon, or worn by an archvillain. Although the armour is powerful, its wearer must be of sufficient level to access the armour's more impressive features. Thus, if an 8th level fighter were to don the complete set of armour, many of the most extraordinary features would be beyond his grasp. As the character gained more levels, he would be granted access to the armour's higher powers. Synergistic abilities also come into play as complementary pieces are worn together (both gauntlets, both sabatons, completed suit), etc. Complete with 8 new Artifacts of the Arcane style cards by V Shane to show the players.
