Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kryndal Levik" data-source="post: 781405" data-attributes="member: 7582">I'd to introduce a specific type of enchanted armor in my campaign for a long-standing order of paladins (The Order of the Phoenix).  As part of a quest, the party will be seeking out an ancient set of plate from the early days of the order, known colloquially as "Armor of Rebirth."  Essentially, if a wearer dies (is reduced to less than 0 hp) the armor instantly resurrects the wearer and heals them to full health (full hitpoints).  The ability can only be used once- in order for this use to function again a long and arduous quest must be undertaken.My questions: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Has anyone heard of anything similar on which I can base this item?  If so- what is the source?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">If not- how the heck would you price this out?  Granted, I can't think of anyone that would sell it (not the paladins in my group, at least), but just in case...  Would this count as a single-use resurrection, with an additional contigency spell thrown in?  Any thoughts?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Lastly- anyone think that this armor would be too terribly unbalancing?  I'm thinking that the paladin that would eventually wear this armor would end up saving it for a specific epic battle (essentially, the end of the campaign); sure, he'd essentially have double hit points, but it could still be made challenging...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [/list=1] As always- any help/advice is appreciated!</li> </ol></blockquote>
