Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 5646367" data-attributes="member: 6668634">a bump with a little bit of new materialOrso (Bear) Templar Battle ArmourThis is a modified version of the Templar armour, enhanced both mundanely and magically. The Orso Templar is designed more for melee combat, enhancing the wearer's strength and combat capabilities. It has mounts on its back for two large melee weapons, usually two longswords or a greatsword or axe. One gauntlet is equipped with three retractable blades, while the other has a folding shield that is enchanted to reduce its weight to not impair the user's swings. The neck is also sealed and can only be opened by the user by a tongue switch or by a hidden switch outside the armour. This was designed as a measure to prevent any disabled Knight from having his helmet removed and possibly being converted or fed on. The user can also cause any metal held melee weapon, or the blades on the gauntlet to burst into flames for a short period of time. The armour is also enchanted so that it can be highly resistant to all physical attacks. One of the ways to tell these suits from a regular set of Templar armour is a few rubies, an emerald and pieces of obsidian are ornately mounted on the armour, usually disguised in some decoration to hide their true purpose. However these gems and stones glow a slight blue when the magical powers are in use.These suits are only given to Knights who show great courage and a high aptitude for melee combat.
