Likewise, if using a shield gets in the way of using the breastplate, put it on the shield (or the back of a cloak).  Get everyone in the party set up this way, keep them all active, and whenever an opponent comes within 60 feet, they have to make four saves to avoid losing (unless protected by racial abilities, Mind Blank, or whatever).</blockquote>
