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 a minimum 24 strength to wear without penalty. It is also unusable except by medium or larger characters. 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.

History
