[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 7146089, member: 60210"] First, this item makes no sense. Why would you be able to use Cha in place of Dex? What does it have to do with dragons? But OK, just had to get it out of the way. Here's one idea: the armor creates a telekinetic-like field around you, that you can control by the force of your personality. So the arrow misses you not because you dodge, but because the field deflected it. You can walk across a narrow beam because the field keeps you from falling. Your own ranged attacks are accurate because the field directs the projectile to where you want it to go. What is a good curse or drawback to go with that? Perhaps the field is sentient and whispers to you constantly, risking insanity. Or you have to make a check everyday to control the field, and if you fail then it controls you. Perhaps the sentience is the soul of the dragon whose hide was used for the armor. Or maybe the field prevents people from seeing and hearing you clearly, giving you disadvantage on actual Cha checks to interact with people. Maybe the field appears as a dragon-shaped mist or light? The field could draw on your own strength for power, gradually reducing your hp maximum while you wear it. Or it seeps the energy type of the dragon, causing you to take that type of damage every time you don the armor (or rest in it). So that's a few ideas :) [/QUOTE]
