Pact of the Aegis (5e Pact Boon)
Pact of the Aegis
You may use your action to create a set of pact armor this armor appears on your person, fitted perfectly for you. Any armor you were wearing is magically removed and appears at your feet. You are proficient with your pact armor. It always appears as a full-body suit of armor made of some alien material. Your pact armor and its parts disappear if it is more than 5 feet from for 1 minute or more. You may summon part of your armor instead of all of it (like without the helmet, or just the gauntlets), gaining the protective benefits as reasonable. You can create one of three different versions of your pact armor chosen each time you create your pact armor.
- A set of light armor with a base AC = 11 + your Dexterity Modifier.
- A set of medium armor with a base AC = 14 + your Dexterity Modifier (maximum 2). While wearing this armor, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) skill checks.
- A set of heavy armor with a base AC = 16. While wearing this armor, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) skill checks.
You can transform one set of magic armor into your pact armor by performing a special ritual while you hold or wear the armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the armor as a bonus action, shunting it into an extra-dimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact armor thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or sentient set in this way. The armor ceases being your pact armor if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different armor, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to the set. The armor appears at your feet if it is in the extra-dimensional space when the bond breaks. Your pact armor can be summoned using its selected base AC or the integrated armors AC and you can ignore all Strength requirements and encumbered penalties related to your pact armor. If the integrated armor imposes disadvantage to your Dexterity (Stealth) checks, your pact armor does as well.
