Elven ChainMail, Stealth

This extremely rare form of elven chainmail is almost exclusively fitted to elves and half-elves. The chainmail is attached to a fine quilted spider silk undergarment. Crafted from the finest spider silk, woven with threads that shimmer like moonlight on water. The underlayer provides warmth without bulk, breathing and wicking moisture away, allowing the wearer to move through cold mountain passes or sweltering jungle heat alike.

Powers

Stealth mail grants freedom of movement equivalent to wearing no armor, making it ideal for thieves, spellcasters, and martial artists without hindering their abilities. At just 3 pounds, the suit feels as weightless as a normal set of clothes, counting as unencumbered when calculating movement rate. The chainmail's surface is treated to mimic the texture of fine linen or silk depending on the wearer's preference. When viewed from a distance, it appears as nothing more than ordinary attire. It can be worn beneath normal clothing, remaining completely undetectable. It is comfortable enough to wear to sleep. It is odorless, and has a matte finish to avoid reflecting light.

The armor is magically enchanted to remain silent, making no sound even when struck by weapons. The wearer may activate complete silence at will, eliminating all noise from their body, equipment, and any items they touch, including footsteps. While the armor remains silent, the singing steel alloy amplifies the wearer's voice, granting a +1 bonus to all proficiency checks related to speaking and singing.

Like standard Elven chainmail, this armor is enchanted to provide +1 to +5 bonus AC, with the enhancement also applying to saving throws.

History

This suit of stealth mail originated among certain Lost Elves of the Border Forest, though no known heirs have been identified. It is high quality and made from Elven singing steel, an alloy of mithril and gold, forged with legendary magical techniques and craftsmanship. It is pale golden in color with the faint image of a setting sun on the chest.

The chainmail suit was crafted and enchanted to provide +3 armor class. Its creation required decades of secret work by a guild of smiths who refused to reveal their methods.
