Armored Fashionable Clothing

While most adventurers enjoy the protection of armor, not all want to wear ugly hide or burdensome plates. This set of sturdy, but fashionable clothing provide moderate protection at no loss of mobility. The work required to make a set of fashionable clothing into armor is great, as a result fashionable clothing is always masterwork (price included below). The nature of Armored Fashionable Clothing is very varied, it could be a set of heavy clothes alongside a gilded metallic breastplate or simply a long coat reinforced with lightweight metal plate.

Armored Fashionable Clothes can include both metal and clothes, as a result it benefit from either one metallic or fabric special material (but not both). Since it is so fashionable it serve as a Masterwork Tool for Diplomacy, Bluff and Intimidate. The complete set of clothes also count as Noble's Outfit and grant a further +2 circumstance bonus (which stack with it own masterwork tool bonuses) when interacting with high society. Armored Fashionable Clothing can be disguised as clothing without penalties, hiding the armored part is usually extremely easy and may require one additional accessory, if that.

However because it is so precise in it manufacturing, armored fashionable clothing require to be fitted to the wearer as a Full Plate Armor.

It is an extremely attractive option for gishes as well; the clothes part of the armor can be enhanced independently of the armor part, allowing it to be enhanced as a robe. However doing so count as a +1 Special Quality on the armor part which must be paid as extra and count against the limit of special quality the armor may have.

Craft (Tailoring) DC 25. Market Price 1,800 gp.
