Brittle Belt
Appears to be an old, worn leather belt. The leather is incredibly stiff, making it very difficult to put on, requiring a full-round action. The buckle is slightly tarnished, but appears very distinguished. The belt binds to a set of armor and provides improved protection for the wearer, but is easy to break.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
This belt bonds to a set of clothing or armor worn by the user. In order to wear this belt, the wearer may, as a full-round action, succeed on a Use Magic Device check with a DC equal to 10 + the target equipment’s armor bonus to bind the belt to a set of armor that is unattended or worn by the user. On a success, the belt buckles correctly to the targeted set of armor. If they fail, the belt buckle gets stuck and the user cannot attempt to wear it again for an hour. While a creature wears a set of armor that is bonded with this item, the wearer gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC. This belt has AC 15, Hardness 5, HP 20. If the user removes the bonded armor, the belt stays bonded to the armor. The belt can be removed with a Use Magic Device or check against a DC equal to 15 + the AC bonus from the bonded armor (or Disable Device with a +5 to the DC). On a failed check, the belt disintegrates into dust. While worn, any attacks which target the wearer also target the belt. If the belt gains the Broken condition while equipped to a set of armor, its deflection bonus does not apply until the Broken condition is removed. If the belt’s HP is reduced to 0 or below, the belt disintegrates.
