| Eldritch Armor | Pact of the Blade or Pact of the Aegis | My version of the Eldritch Armor invocation from UA: Class Feature Variants., Whenever you summon your Pact Weapon or Pact Shield, your patron's magic garbs you in arcane armor, with which you are considered proficient. This armor persists as long as your Pact Weapon or Pact Shield does, vanishing if your Pact Weapon or Pact Shield disappears or is dismissed.
Eldritch Armor is Medium Armor, weighing 10lbs, that grants you an AC bonus equal to 10 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Dexterity or Charisma modifier (Your Choice). Additionally, you can transform one suit of magic armor into your Eldritch Armor by performing a special ritual while you touch the armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the armor, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your Eldritch Armor thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient armor in this way. The armor ceases being your Eldritch Armor if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different suit of armor, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The armor appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks. | Zhenra-Khal |
