Armor (padded), rare (requires attunement)
You have proficiency with all gaming sets while wearing this armor.
As a reaction, when a hostile creature makes an attack against you but before they roll, you can choose to lower your AC by 3 for that attack. If the attack misses, you regain a number of hit points equal to half the damage that the attack would have dealt. If the attack hits, you can’t use this property again until the next dawn.
Amplified. This armor is a piece of the Highway Hustlers set. If you attune to another Highway Hustlers set piece while attuned to this armor, it gains the following attributes:
- One other set piece: You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this armor.
- Two other set pieces: When you take the reaction granted by this armor, you can choose to double your ante and lower your AC by 6 instead of 3. If the attack misses, you regain a number of hit points equal to the full damage that the attack would have dealt. Once this property is used, you can’t double down again until the next dawn.
Dilroy was always willing to stake his life on a gamble. Even when he was down, all he needed was a single opportunity to present itself and he’d be back in the game.
Errata- Reduced the amount your AC is lowered by from 4 to 3 and 8 to 6.
