| - | Mimic Armor | + | ==== Mimic Armor ==== |
| Your armor is formed out of small mimics that modify themselves to fit their wearer. This organic armor heals itself, restoring 10 HP per minute. You can also have your mimics consume mundane armor, a process that takes about an hour, and have it assume that form. Mimic armor remembers the last 3 kinds of armor it ate and can shift forms given 1 minute. Mimic armor may also be worn comfortably at all times as it morphs to fit your needs; you can sleep in it just fine and it can also be stored in a space half as large as you’d expect for an armor of that size. If in your space or adjacent, mimic armor can form onto your body as armor as an action. | Your armor is formed out of small mimics that modify themselves to fit their wearer.

| If it worked in your narrative you can expand the kind of damage a Shield Against applies to. For example, a werewolf hunter might make a silver “Shield Against Werewolves” that grants resistance against all damage caused by creatures with the werewolf keyword. To craft it maybe you bathe it in wereworld blood or bury it on land sacred to them for a week.

| Warded armor takes strange magic to craft it and is quite frequently haunted, minorly cursed, or attracts unsavory magic creatures to it. Because of this, if you wear warded armor you seem to be sending out fireworks or burning like a bonfire to creatures with Detect (magic). This effectively makes hiding an impossibility from them. | Warded armor takes strange magic to craft it and is quite frequently haunted, minorly cursed, or attracts unsavory magic creatures to it.
