[QUOTE="mellored, post: 8809859, member: 6801209"] I've tried a few variations to balanced the need for hands (i.e. the chair counts as a shield, can attach a weapon and attack by spinning), but just couldn't get one that wasn't balanced against across classes and builds. Fair. I'll change it to can't high jump. Thought of a way to to make this more interesting. Including adding a simple option. Mainly, by making it as part of the armor, and having a robe/light/medium/heavy option. [spoiler=v2] Wheelchair (tool). If your character can not use their legs as part of their background, they get this proficiency for free. Other characters may get this tool proficiency as normal. Adventurer's wheelchairs are incorporated as part of armor and is included in purchase price. As part of donning the armor, 2 small gems are placed into the lower part of the back, magically diverting your energy that is normally used control your leg into moving the chair instead. It also prevents any benefit from magical boots, but the chair itself have it's own enchantment in addition to the armor. [I]DM Note: As the magic chair effectively take the boot slot, any magical boots enchantments can generally be directly applied to magical chairs as well, adjusting their appearance to fit.[/I] Spider chair: The spider chair has 6 or 8 legs and can be used along with any armor.
