Plant Armor appears as tightly woven strands of grass, layers of leaves and plates of bark.
For centuries, the elves have been manufacturing a form of armor composed of living plants. It is highly magical, expensive and difficult to make. It is worn by elven heroes and, on rare occasions, given to friends of the elf people.
Plant armor gives excellent protection while remaining very light and flexible. It is also very quiet. The armor can re-grow damage, in effect repairing itself, entirely in 24 hours if given proper care (water and sunlight). The armor is covered in thorns and gives the wearer an advantage in wrestling, grappling or unarmed combat. Once each day, the wearer can cause the armor to go dormant. When this occurs, the boots of the armor root to the ground and the armor rapidly grows a tree about itself. This not only provides total protection but allows the wearer to hide within the “tree”. Elves often use this function to sleep in a completely safe and concealed environment. The “tree” can be maintained for up to 8 hours.
This armor draws its power from the forest around it. It only functions within a forest environment.
During a Drellis phase, the armor can not go dormant and grow the protective tree. Also, it will not repair itself during a Drellis phase.
