Many people associate this armor with divine vengeance, though its heinous reputation amongst those peoples branded heretics by the Church of Kolderrim makes it evident that this is an evil of human making. The red templar armor is a decorated full plate armor with a chain hauberk underlay. The once silvery-gray steel has darkened to an ominous color with the times, like aeons of bloodsheed has seeped into the plate. Though the Church of Kolderrim has long been eradicated from the continent, some say that these many leftover relics still carry a hint of a curse of vengeance, but many successful mercenaries and adventurers swear by the martial capabilities this armor allows them to unleash. The red templar armor is always [[SRD:Masterwork|masterwork]]; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics. 

The red templar armor grants the following benefits when worn, on top of its general protective capabilities: 

*A red templar armor counts as a masterwork skill tool for the following skills: [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] and Martial Lore<sup>[[Publication:Tome of Battle|ToB]]</sup>.
*The amount of [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleed]] you can build up before experiencing [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleedout]] increases by 2. This stacks with other sources of bleed resistance, such as the [[Bloodbite Ring (3.5e Equipment)|bloodbite ring]].
*Whenever the blood of enemies splatters across the armor, such as when you make a successful attack roll with a [[SRD:Piercing Weapon|piercing]] or [[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing]] weapon against a living creature with blood, you regain 1 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit point]]. Any day during which the blood of an enemy has touched the armor, the armor itself is repaired for 1d4 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] as well, as the iron within the armor aids to fill up and close any breaks or cracks.
*This armor has special ties with the [[Blood Feast (3.5e Martial Discipline)|Blood Feast]] martial discipline. You initiate maneuvers of this discipline with a +1 bonus to the save DC.

[[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (armorsmithing and tailoring) DC [[Craft DC::27]]. Market Price 2,100 gp.
