D&d 5e splint mail
Splint mail is a type of armor in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. Here are the rules for splint mail:
Armor Class: 18 (natural armor)
Armor Type: Heavy Armor
Weight: 60 pounds
Cost: 150 gold pieces
Description: Splint mail is a type of armor made from interlocking metal plates that are riveted together to form a protective suit. It is often worn by knights and other heavily armored warriors.
Properties:
- Heavy Armor: You can't wear a shield while wearing splint mail.
- No Stealth: You can't use your Dexterity modifier to add to your Armor Class when you're wearing splint mail.
- No Acrobatics: You can't use your Dexterity modifier to add to your Acrobatics checks when you're wearing splint mail.
Additional Rules:
- Rivets: Splint mail has rivets that hold the plates together. If you're hit by an attack, there is a 10% chance that a rivet will break, reducing the armor's effectiveness. If all the rivets break, the armor is destroyed.
- Maintenance: Splint mail requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. If you don't maintain the armor, it becomes damaged and its effectiveness is reduced.
Maintenance Rules:
- Daily Maintenance: You can perform daily maintenance on your splint mail by spending 10 minutes cleaning and oiling the armor. This restores the armor's effectiveness.
- Weekly Maintenance: You can perform weekly maintenance on your splint mail by spending 1 hour cleaning and oiling the armor. This restores the armor's effectiveness and prevents damage from accumulating.
- Monthly Maintenance: You can perform monthly maintenance on your splint mail by spending 4 hours cleaning and oiling the armor. This restores the armor's effectiveness and prevents damage from accumulating, and also repairs any damage that has accumulated.
Overall, splint mail is a sturdy and reliable type of armor that provides good protection, but it can be heavy and cumbersome to wear. It requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition, and it can be damaged if not properly cared for.
