Magic Items (4E)

4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons

Local magic items.

Magic Armor

Masterwork heavy armor is abolished. Instead, heavy armor doubles the enchantment bonus to AC. Light masterwork armor still exists, but only the versions described in the PH, not those from AV. All light armor of the required enchantment is automatically masterwork armor.

Specific armors to replace the non-AC-defense masterwork armors follows:

Githweave Armor

Githzerai weavers first taught other peoples the methods of making githweave. It’s clear that the githzerai took these techniques from their erstwhile masters, the mind flayers. These armors infuse crystal, channeling mind energy to fortify the body.

Armor: Cloth, Chain
Enchantment: AC
Property: +1 Armor bonus to Will defense. Increase to +2 at level 27.

Snakeskin Armor

Yuan-ti overlap fine "scales" of leather and weave stands of this with shadow magic to produce the incredibly supple snakeskin armor.

Level: 17
Armor: Leather

Titanscale Armor

Dwarves took the primordial methods of producing titanscale armor from the titans and giants.

Level: 17 Armor: Hide, Scale
Enchantment: AC
Property: +1 Armor bonus to Fortitude defense. Increase to +2 at level 27.

Tarrasque Armor

Designed to emulate the tarrasque’s impenetrable hide, this armor has hundreds of nodules packed between very thin metal layers, each treated with a different process.

Level: 9
Armor: Plate
Enchantment: AC
Property: Resist all 1. Increase to 2 at level 19 and 5 at level 29.
