Ooh, Shiny! - 20 Unique Armors, Shields, and Helmets

To many warriors, armor is a second skin. Make sure it's a good one.

Ooh, Shiny! 20 Unique Armors, Shields, and Helmets, and the Ooh, Shiny! series in general, acts as a compendium for new and interesting gear mechanics, while also maintaining an ability to offer solid utility options.

This issue features the first iteration of a "set bonus" system. This system is used for the Setting Sun armor and is tooled for paladins and other heavy armor users. Additionally, the Xenophilic Leathers are included as a bonus 21st item because of its experimental nature. Given armor keeps characters alive, the items present in this issue are less flashy and more utilitarian than normal, though items such as The Door, which can create alternate doorways in a dungeon setting, and the Tortoise Plate, which allows heavy armor users to literally become a "tank", are still out in full force.

• Bejeweled Mail - chain shirt
