An incredibly heavy but extremely effective suit of crystalline armour.

Crystal plate armour is the heaviest armour available, weighing nearly double the weight of plate armour and requiring high strength to wear effectively. It is also unusable by Spriggans, Ogres, and Trolls (as well as any other race incapable of wearing body armour). In exchange for these steep requirements, it offers phenomenal AC and GDR (48%!), allowing characters to absorb physical abuse with ease. Just don't expect to dodge many attacks or cast anything while wearing it. It is also exceptionally resistant to corrosion, ignoring 80% of all successful acid attacks.

Crystal plate armour is extremely rare. Your best bet at finding one may be to hope Okawaru gifts you one.
