Powers

Plate mail +4

Every morning in the light of the rising sun, all scratches, stains and dents are instantly repaired.

The armor grants the wearer 18/00 strength for +3 to hit, +6 to damage and a 40% bend bars.

When the armor is worn, it radiates a faint golden glow, which can be extinguished on command, but automatically turns on during melee combat. When glowing, the armor magically bestows a dignified and commanding aura causing the wearer to be treated as if he has an 18 charisma. Morale of friendly troops is raised by two points. The wearer can never hope to go anywhere unnoticed while wearing the armor. A Continual Darkness spell can negate the glow for six turns plus one turn per level of the caster, which also cancels the aura, charisma and morale boosting effects.

The phoenix image on the backhand of the gauntlet non-weaponed hand can be commanded to enlarge to the size of a small shield and serve in that capacity.

The gauntlet of the knight's primary weapon hand has a ring on the inner wrist with a two inch long charm looking like a nail (actually a non-magical lance). Any weapon touched to the ring will attach and transform to a two inch long charm of negligible weight. Any weapon on the ring can be summoned to the wearers right hand, and if a weapon is already in hand it will sent to the ring as a charm and be replaced by the summoned weapon. The ring will hold a maximum of 7 charms/weapons.
