Barnacle Encrusted Armor

Armor (any), rare
This armor is heavily encrusted with a layer of barnacles, creating a barrier between you and the blades of your enemies. The barnacles have a hit point maximum of 20. Whenever you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage while wearing the armor, the barnacles take the damage instead. If this damage reduces the barnacles to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage. This barrier takes damage before temporary hit points and does not benefit from damage reduction or resistance. For every 8 hours that this armor is submerged in water, the barnacles recover 10 hit points. The barnacles cannot regain hit points by other means.
Deep in the bubbling bowels of the subaqueous sanctum, the encrusted ones creep. Most would-be adversaries don’t see the inhabitants as living beings, let alone formidable foes, for they are entirely encumbered by crustaceans from their heads to their toes.
