Employed by the most elite battlemage units from the theocratic kingdoms of the Azarro continent, these robes, reinforced with a lining of orichalcum scales, turn any accomplished spellcaster into a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps emboldened by the defenses indwelling the battlecaster's robe, its wearer is allowed to fully focus on their magic with impunity. As far as robes go, they are undeniably heavy and impeding. The battlecaster's armor is always masterwork; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics.
The battlecaster's robes grant the following benefits when worn, on top of their general protective capabilities:
- The battlecaster's robes count as a masterwork Concentration skill tool.
- You gain a personal shield that is powered by the residual magical power you give off. The shield has maximum hit points equal to your highest caster level. While the shield has 1 or more hit points, it grants a +2 deflection bonus to AC and prevents you from being critically hit, stunned or staggered. This shield does not recharge over time, but rather regains hit points automatically while you cast spells, at a rate of 2 hit points per spell level. Wearing the robes while meditating, preparing or praying for spells recharges the shield fully.
Battlecaster's robes can be enhanced with magic, though at four times the base price of magical enhancement. You gain the robes' enhancement bonus as a bonus to the following:
- Concentration checks.
- Both the robe's armor bonus and the shield's deflection bonus.
- The hardness of the shield, at a rate of 2 points of hardness per point of enhancement bonus (see Hard Shields).
