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. However, as far as robes go, they are undeniably heavy and impeding. Battlecaster's robes are treated as fashioned from orichalcum and gain all the benefits of the material. 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.
  • The battlecaster's robes count as medium armor, but can be worn without having medium armor proficiency if you possess a caster level.
  • 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 prevents you from being critically hit, stunned or staggered by effects that don't bypass shields. 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. Besides the increased Armor Class, magically enhanced battlecaster's robes grant the following additional benefits:
