Description
A cursed suit of plate that mimics Armor of Resistance, granting resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage - chosen at creation. The wearer soon discovers the trap: they have vulnerability to the other two physical damage types, doubling that damage. Once attuned, the curse cannot be willingly removed; only Remove Curse or comparable magic frees the wearer. Identification typically reveals only the resistance, hiding the vulnerability until combat exposes it. The armor is a classic tool used by treacherous quartermasters and a memorable trap for parties who skip thorough magical analysis.
