Oracle armor for a Samurai Archetype


Homebrew and House Rules


Hey Everyone,

So I am working on a Samurai Archetype and one of the things I would like to do is replace the mount ability with a ability similar to various Oracle powers Like Armor of Bones from the Bones mystery or Ice armor from the waves mystery.

I have bounced this past my friend and they are saying that it seems a bit weak at low levels. Which I agree but you end up with magical no dex or armor penalty armor which is pretty sweet, but since the intent is to make this the Samurai's armor of choice I would love to hear other opinions or options.

Should I just build a brand new power? should I simply enhance the Samurai's current armor with this power?

thanks.

Yeah, that's pretty weak imo. It can be really cool and thematic depending on how you do it, but since the AC doesn't stack with normal armor and the samurai can wear full plate, the armor bonus won't do that much.


Could make a magic armor enhancement like the paladin weapon but with armor. Then make some new armor abilities and assign appropriate enhancement bonuses to them.
