An animated armour is an artificial construct. Usually a suit of plate armour or similar is marked by a mage, using script placed on the inside of the armour. This imbues it with a fake semblance of life, allowing it to move. A trigger is regularly applied, along with a command that the mage can utter to awaken the armour. Also, with the trigger it can animate if certain conditions are met, such as a living creature passes by.

Suggested Environments

Settlements, and lairs.
