Hawken Breastplate

The Hawken Breastplate is a finely crafted piece of black iron armor adorned with golden edges and a prominent golden sigil of a hawk across the chest. This breastplate is highly coveted by the Paladins of the Barony of Greenfield in Rivermond, where the hawk serves as a symbol of their barony. The craftsmanship of this armor makes it not only sturdy but also lightweight due to its divine blessing.

The Hawken Breastplate is typically valued at 8,000 to 12,000 gold pieces due to its exceptional craftsmanship, divine enchantments, and its esteemed association with the Greenfield barony.

Forged in the revered smithies of Rivermond and blessed by the clerics of the Greenfield barony, the Hawken Breastplate is a symbol of valor and protection. The sigil of the hawk represents keen vision, swift action, and unyielding courage—qualities revered by the Paladins who don this armor. Legends tell of heroes who wore this breastplate into battle, emerging victorious against overwhelming odds thanks to its divine enchantments.

Attunement:

To attune to the Hawken Breastplate, the wearer must be a spellcaster and spend a short rest wearing it and invoking a prayer or ritual to connect with its divine essence.

Special Features:

• Protective Armor: The breastplate provides a +2 bonus to AC.
• Lightweight Blessing: Despite its iron construction, the armor is lightweight, making it easy to wear for extended periods.
• Heroism Enchantment: The wearer can cast the Heroism spell without expending a spell slot. For 1 minute, the wearer is immune to being frightened and gains temporary hit points equal to their spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of their turns. When the spell ends, the wearer loses any remaining temporary hit points from this spell. This ability can be used once per long rest.
