When it is put on, it expands into a full suit of black spiked plate mail covering the entire body of the wearer from head to toe, complete with a helmet with very narrow eyeslits, and boots with spiked toes. The gauntlet itself glows with a visible deep purplish aura. The armor confers no penalties to the wearer either magical or physical, and has an AC of 30. The wearer is not subject to critical hits. The armor is sentient and evil, and communicates with the wearer telepathically. Attempting to remove the Carapace requires a check vs COU*3+d20, and the DC is 30. The Carapace also grants the wearer the ability to cast (and can cast on its own without being ordered to) the following spells: Fear--paralyzes target for 1d4 rounds with fear. Death Ray--deals 50+2d6 damage to a target. Does not affect undead. Obliterate Undead--deals 80+1d10 damage to any target undead. The Carapace has an MAttack of 30, and this is independant of the wearer's magical skill. Over time, the Carapace begins to exercise subtle control over the wearer, and eventually possesses him or her totally, causing them to embody the evil of its creator, Elkar. ---------------------------------------------- Combat 1 Mahou, Lake Squid, Derill, Darin 1 Mahou casts Firebolt, and is 72/80 MP.
