With a wicked grin, the red-robed wizard a lance of thin green light towards an armored knight - the grin that turning to confusion, then an outraged scowl as the ray strikes a briefly visible glittering halo and harmlessly deflects into the ground. The halfling smirks, her helmet slamming down as she charges, swinging her long weapon in a terrible arc, right past the doomed wizard's guards.

Dreadnought Armor

Armor (plate or half-plate), legendary


Almost as much a golem as a suit of armor, this towering, ornately decorated construct requires a Strength score of 15 (half-plate) or 17 (plate) and 1d4 hours of practice to wear proficiently. You gain the following benefits:

  • Towering. Your size becomes Medium if smaller and you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
  • Powered. Your walking speed becomes 35 feet if slower.
  • Stable. You have advantage on saving throws and ability checks to prevent being knocked prone. If an effect moves or pushes you against your will, it moves you 10 feet less.
  • Mighty Grip. When wielding a melee weapon, you can ignore its two-handed, heavy and versatile properties. If you do, you use a versatile weapon's higher damage die.
  • Eject / Ready. You can doff the armor (and optionally a shield) as a bonus action. If you do not, the armor remains kneeling but upright, and you can don it as an action.
  • Mode Switch. As a bonus action, you can retract the helmet into an ornate mantle, or close it back down. You gain one of the following benefits:
  • Mantle Raised - Iron Crown. A protective magical force surrounds you. When forced to make a Dexterity saving throw, you can make a Constitution saving throw instead.
  • Helmet Closed - Iron Shell. You gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class and any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit, but the heavy, fixed-forward helmet imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks you make.
