So I was inspired by another item I saw earlier which was basically a Exoskeleton for armor which reduced armor check penalty, and a thread about a flute that cast cure light wounds.
And it led me to think about other things that would be cool to see.
I've always wanted full-plate to have the option to be closer to sci-fi exoskeleton power armor type stuff. I got to thinking more about it and wanted to design a new type of full plate.
I'm thinking of including the properties of mithral as a basic part of the armor (for space aged lightweight metals) and including the exoskeleton feature I mentioned along with the comfort enchant. I'm also interested in including a couple life support kind of features. Like the armor protects you from any sort on inhaled poison or gas effects, and allows you to breath (even in no atmosphere or underwater) for some duration and keeps you comfortable from hot or cold temperatures. I also like the idea of allowing the suit to accept wands of cure spells which are automatically activated once per round when your health is below 75% of it's maximum. This was inspired by the suit of Power Armor which heals you when you are damaged.
It would also be cool if it had an on-board computer AI system which helped the wearer, though I don't know what it would do.
What are your thoughts?
Start with base +1 full plate 2650
Throw in the Exoskeleton +6000
Comfort +5000
Necklace of Adaptation as an armor effect +13500
Make it an intelligent magic item with speech, 60ft senses, a 1st level spell 3/day(cure light), a 2nd level spell 3/day(cure moderate) 500+500+500+1200+7200 Ego +6
Total Price 37050
Some of this could technically be separate items which just happen to be attached to the armor. As with the necklace of adaptation perhaps if you don't feel like paying an extra 4500 gp.
If the armor's intelligent then revenant armor might be a useful effect.
