Magic armor properties grant the wearer special abilities while wearing the armor.  These abilities vary greatly, but often bear a resemblance to spell effects.  Note that Spell Effects cannot be applied to armor.   
[[Crafting Magic Armor | Magic armor]] properties grant the wearer special abilities while wearing the armor.  These abilities vary greatly, but often bear a resemblance to spell effects.  Note that Spell Effects cannot be applied to armor.   


Those magic armor properties which provide a permanent bonus must be worn for 24 hours in order to attune to the item and get its benefits. Once attuned, the item provides the bonus any time the magic item is worn. When taken off, the magic item does not provide any bonuses but the attunement stays intact  (if there are exceptions to this rule, the magic armor property will specifically state that the effect continues even if the armor is taken off). An attunement is lost if someone else wears the item for 24 hours and becomes attuned, at which point the previous attunement is disrupted. The original character can, of course, re-attune to the item with a new 24-hour attunement.

Magic armor cannot have any magic armor properties applied to it unless it has at least a +1 Enhancement bonus also applied to it.  For example, you cannot make a suit of Studded Leather armor with the +2 magic armor property of Expeditious unless it has at least a +1 enhancement bonus (and therefore an Absolute Bonus of +3).  No armor may be enchanted with Epic magic armor properties unless they have an Enhancement bonus of at least +6.

'''Important Note:''' If a character has more than one item equipped which provides magic armor properties, only the item with the highest enhancement bonus actually provides benefits to the wearer (in the event they are the same, the wearer may choose which item functions and which is dormant). The lesser item's magic armor properties provide no benefits whatsoever, even if they are 'always on' abilities, unless the greater item is taken off.

== Magic Armor Costs ==
== Magic Armor Costs ==
To determine the cost of a suit of armor, three elements must be added together:
To determine the cost of a suit of armor, three elements must be added together:
* The cost of the suit of armor.
* The cost of the [[Armor and Shields | suit of armor]].
* The cost of any special materials used to create the armor (e.g. mithril, adamantine, etc.).
* The cost of any [[Dweomermetals | special materials]] used to create the armor (e.g. mithril, adamantine, etc.).
* The cost of the Absolute Bonus (the sum of the magic properties and the enhancement bonus).
* The cost of the [[Crafting Magic Armor | Enhancement Bonus]]
 
* The cost of the '''''sum''''' of the plusses of all magic properties on the armor
=== Absolute Bonus ===
The Absolute Bonus is determined by adding together the plus values of the armor's Enhancement Bonus and any Magical Properties it will be enchanted with.  For example, a +2 Expeditious Breastplate has a +4 Absolute Bonus, since the Expeditious property has a +2 cost associated with it.


=== Dweomermetals ===
=== Dweomermetals ===
Dweomermetals, such as mithril, argent and bloodgold, can grant the armor special qualities, as well as improved hardness and durability.  The prices and special qualities of each dweomermetal are described in detail on the [[Dweomermetals]] page.

Dweomermetals do not alter the Absolute Bonus of armor, though the cost for armor made with a dweomermetal is added to the overall cost of the armor.
Dweomermetals do not alter the enhancement bonus costs, or the magic properties cost of armor, though the cost for the dweomermetal is added to the overall cost of the armor.


Note that special materials cannot be added to an existing suit of armor.  The armor must be built from the special material before it can be enchanted.  If a character already has a +3 chain shirt, and wants it to be a +3 mithril chain shirt, he would have to sell his old chain shirt and buy a mithril one.  He cannot simply upgrade it.  (This rule can be broken, at GM discretion, in cases where the suit of armor is a family heirloom, an artifact, or any sort of magic item that is meant to grow with the player, where replacing it with a new suit of armor would disrupt the story continuity for the character.  In these cases, the item may have always been made from the special material, but only exhibits its qualities when the character reaches a high enough level to appreciate it, or perhaps it acquires the special materials qualities after some event transpires (like the character gets splashed with molten mithril).)
Note that special materials can be added to an existing suit of armor, or an existing dweomermetal can be removed entirely, or removed and replaced with a different dweomermetal. See the [[Dweomermetals#Reforging_a_Dweomermetal|reforging rules]] for details.


=== Campaign Level ===
=== Campaign Level ===
Heroic tier characters (characters from level 1 to level 20) can wear armor with an enhancement bonus up to +5, and can have up to +5 pluses worth of Magic Armor properties applied to their armor, though there must always be at least +1 Enhancement bonus on the armor before any magic armor properties can be applied.  As a result, heroic tier characters can wear armor with an absolute bonus of anything from +1 to +10.

Epic tier characters (characters level 21 to level 35) can wear armor with an enhancement bonus up to +9, and can have a total of up to +9 pluses-worth of Magic Armor properties applied to their armor (resulting in an Absolute Bonus as high as +18). However, the enhancement bonus of the armor must be raised to at least +6 before it can have any Epic magic armor properties applied to it. 
Epic tier characters (characters level 21 to level 35) can wear armor with an enhancement bonus up to +9, and can have a total of up to +9 pluses-worth of Magic Armor properties applied to their armor.  


Any attempt to wear armor more magically enchanted than your level allows results in the character taking a non-proficiency penalty with the armor (-4 to attack rolls), and the possibility of even more dire consequences (such as insanity, or being controlled by the armor).

=== Upgrading and Changing Magic Armor Properties ===
=== Upgrading and Changing Magic Armor Properties ===
Magic armor properties can be removed from a suit of magic armor, replaced with altogether new properties, or upgraded to a higher version of the existing magic armor property (when applicable).  The cost to do so is the difference in cost between the old Absolute Bonus and the new Absolute Bonus.  However, if the Absolute Bonus goes down, there is no refund of money unless you can convince the craftsman performing the alterations why he should actually pay you for the privilege of doing that work.  Performing magic armor property swaps and upgrades takes one full day of work per change in the Absolute Bonus, with a minimum of 1 full day.  Even if this work isn't performed by a player, the player must wait for the alterations to be performed, and they cannot make use of the armor while the craftsman is working on it.  Some craftsmen might offer to lend or rent out a suit of armor while their customers wait, though they would expect the loaner armor to return to them in good condition.

Enhancement bonuses cannot be removed from magic armor once applied, but the enhancement bonus can be increased. If the armor is made from a dweomermetal that offers an alternate way of allocating the enhancement bonus, this can also be changed by a craftsman (or a character with the Creator feat), but performing this work also takes one full day of work per change in the Absolute Bonus, with a minimum of 1 full day.
Enhancement bonuses cannot be removed from magic armor once applied, but the enhancement bonus can be increased. Each +1 enhancement bonus being added requires 1 full day of work.


Magic Armor which is altered in such a way as to violate the limitations of the campaign level will inflict a non-proficiency penalty on the wearer, or worse.

Introduction

Magic armor properties grant the wearer special abilities while wearing the armor. These abilities vary greatly, but often bear a resemblance to spell effects. Note that Spell Effects cannot be applied to armor.

Those magic armor properties which provide a permanent bonus must be worn for 24 hours in order to attune to the item and get its benefits. Once attuned, the item provides the bonus any time the magic item is worn. When taken off, the magic item does not provide any bonuses but the attunement stays intact (if there are exceptions to this rule, the magic armor property will specifically state that the effect continues even if the armor is taken off). An attunement is lost if someone else wears the item for 24 hours and becomes attuned, at which point the previous attunement is disrupted. The original character can, of course, re-attune to the item with a new 24-hour attunement.

Magic armor cannot have any magic armor properties applied to it unless it has at least a +1 Enhancement bonus also applied to it. For example, you cannot make a suit of Studded Leather armor with the +2 magic armor property of Expeditious unless it has at least a +1 enhancement bonus. No armor may be enchanted with Epic magic armor properties unless they have an Enhancement bonus of at least +6.

Important Note: If a character has more than one item equipped which provides magic armor properties, only the item with the highest enhancement bonus actually provides benefits to the wearer (in the event they are the same, the wearer may choose which item functions and which is dormant). The lesser item's magic armor properties provide no benefits whatsoever, even if they are 'always on' abilities, unless the greater item is taken off.

Magic Armor Costs

To determine the cost of a suit of armor, three elements must be added together:

Dweomermetals

Dweomermetals, such as mithril, argent and bloodgold, can grant the armor special qualities, as well as improved hardness and durability. The prices and special qualities of each dweomermetal are described in detail on the Dweomermetals page.

Dweomermetals do not alter the enhancement bonus costs, or the magic properties cost of armor, though the cost for the dweomermetal is added to the overall cost of the armor.

Note that special materials can be added to an existing suit of armor, or an existing dweomermetal can be removed entirely, or removed and replaced with a different dweomermetal. See the reforging rules for details.

Campaign Level

Heroic tier characters (characters from level 1 to level 20) can wear armor with an enhancement bonus up to +5, and can have up to +5 pluses worth of Magic Armor properties applied to their armor, though there must always be at least +1 Enhancement bonus on the armor before any magic armor properties can be applied.

Epic tier characters (characters level 21 to level 35) can wear armor with an enhancement bonus up to +9, and can have a total of up to +9 pluses-worth of Magic Armor properties applied to their armor.

Any attempt to wear armor more magically enchanted than your level allows results in the character taking a non-proficiency penalty with the armor (-4 to attack rolls), and the possibility of even more dire consequences (such as insanity, or being controlled by the armor).

At level 36 and higher (apotheosis) all restrictions on enhancement bonuses and the magic item properties are lifted, at which point the armor may be enchanted in any way the characters can afford.

Upgrading and Changing Magic Armor Properties

Magic armor properties can be removed from a suit of magic armor, replaced with altogether new properties, or upgraded to a higher version of the existing magic armor property (when applicable). The cost to do so is the difference between the cost of the sum of plusses of the old properties and cost for the sum of plusses of the new properties. However, if the sum of plusses of the properties goes down, there is no refund of money unless you can convince the craftsman performing the alterations why he should actually pay you for the privilege of doing that work. Performing magic armor property swaps and upgrades takes one full day of work per change in the plus sum, with a minimum of 1 full day. Even if this work isn't performed by a player, the player must wait for the alterations to be performed, and they cannot make use of the armor while the craftsman is working on it. Some craftsmen might offer to lend or rent out a suit of armor while their customers wait, though they would expect the loaner armor to return to them in good condition.

Enhancement bonuses cannot be removed from magic armor once applied, but the enhancement bonus can be increased. Each +1 enhancement bonus being added requires 1 full day of work.

Magic Armor which is altered in such a way as to violate the limitations of the campaign level will inflict a non-proficiency penalty on the wearer, or worse.
