Message: <blockquote data-quote="DND_Reborn" data-source="post: 8121154" data-attributes="member: 6987520">(emphasis mine)Something cannot be both brittle and soft, just FYI.First, I would make it a CON save. DEX implies a dodge action, so unless your spell is a beam or something that hits the armor, CON makes more sense as it is used to resist physical effects IMO. shrugAlso, can this only affect manufactured armor or does it affect Natural armor as well? You mention hide, so I am inclined to think you mean natural armor as well...I agree with other comments higher levels should affect more targets instead of more reduction in AC. After all, a 4th level version for 4d4 reduction would average a -10 to AC. This makes abusing GWM and SS almost a certain thing. Nothing should make those feats more certain IMO. Imagine an AC 22 dragon being AC 12??? Crazy. Go with multiple targets.Finally, allow a repeated save to end the effect. Creatures that are affected by spells typically are allowed to repeat the save each round to end it, especially for a level 1 spell.I think the concept is fine, I just think you need to tweak it. Hope it helps! <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=":)" />EDIT: one final bit: someone in magical armor should have advantage on the saving throw to resist it.</blockquote>
