Hellknight Signifer can wear Hellknight Plate?

I know he wouldn't get the level based benefits from the Hellknight PrC, but the ACP is one lower and it would be flavorful for a Signifer.

I don't believe there's anything in the PrC that actually allows this, but as long as you qualify to wear full plate I don't think there's too big an issue. You're a Hell Knight, so no one would question you wearing it. You won't be getting any of the other benefits for it though.

Absolutely nothing stopping them (or anyone really) from wearing Hellknight Plate. Anyone that's proficient in Heavy Armor can wear it like any other suit of Heavy Armor from my understanding.

For Arcane Casters it's not ideal as there's still a significant chance of spell failure even with the benefits, as I recall, but Signifier is a pretty nice PrC for Divine Casters/Clerics (who don't have to worry about that pesky spell failure).

You'd need to make it Mithril (-10%), with Armor Expertise (-5%) and Arcane Armor Mastery (-20%) to make up for the 35% Spell Failure chance, but it's possible. It would have to be painted black or somesuch as a super shiny Hellknight doesn't work.

Are there any people who have played an Arcane Signifier?

[RtrnofdMax]

You're looking at a guy who's considering it. Also considering a one level dip in cleric to qualify for Sacred Summons and to get the domain advances with Catechesis.

Hellknight Signifier need not be an Arcane caster.
