Armor

Unless an armor's description says otherwise, armor must be worn for its magic to function.

Some suits of magic armor specify the type of armor they are, such as chain mail or plate. If a magic armor doesn't specify its armor type, you may choose the type or determine it randomly.

adamantine armor

Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon ^(DMG-150)

This suit of armor is reinforced with adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence. While you’re wearing it, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.

As a substance, adamantine has an object Armor Class of 23.^(DMG-246)

dragon scale mail

Dragon	Resistance
White	Cold
Black	Acid
Green	Poison
Blue	Lightning
Red	Fire
Copper	Acid
Brass	Fire
Bronze	Lightning
Silver	Cold
Gold	Fire

Armor (scale mail), very rare (requires attunement) ^(DMG-165)

Dragon scale mail is made of the scales of one kind of dragon. Sometimes dragons collect their cast-off scales and gift them to humanoids. Other times, hunters carefully skin and preserve the hide of a dead dragon. In either case, dragon scale mail is highly valued.

While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of dragon that provided the scales (see the table).

Additionally, you can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon within 30 miles of you that is of the same type as the armor. This special action can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Dragonguard

Armor (breastplate), uncommon ^(LMP)

This +1 breastplate has a gold dragon motif worked into its design. Created for a human hero of Neverwinter named Tergon, it grants its wearer advantage on saving throws against the breath weapons of creatures that have the dragon type.

dwarven plate

Armor (plate), very rare ^(DMG-167)

While wearing this armor, you gain a +2 bonus to AC. In addition, if an effect moves you against your will along the ground, you can use your reaction to reduce the distance you are moved by up to 10 feet.

elven chain

Armor (chain shirt), rare ^(DMG-168)

You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you wear this chain shirt. You are considered proficient with this armor even if you lack proficiency with medium armor. Elven chain—being an improved mithral chain shirt—may be easily worn under normal clothes.

glamoured studded leather

Armor (studded leather), rare ^(DMG-172)

While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. You can also use a bonus action to speak the armor’s command word and cause the armor to assume the appearance of a normal set of clothing or some other kind of armor. You decide what it looks like, including color, style, and accessories, but the armor retains its normal bulk and weight. The illusory appearance last until you use this property again or remove the armor.

mithral armor

Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon ^(DMG-182)

Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn’t.

As a substance, mithral has an object Armor Class of 21.^(DMG-246)
