Help with lore song for some armor 12/23/2014 11:24 PM CST
Anyone able to help out this loresong? I just cannot figure out the properties and which property is the temporary one. At first I thought it had 3 properties...damage padding (some sort of unusual protection against damage), protection against magic attacks (the leather serves to protect from magical attacks), and protection against disintegrating attacks (it is moderately resistant to disintegrating attacks). But the assess doesn't show any type of padding. Thx much.

The first thing that strikes you about the leather is the weight, which is about 14 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 350,000 silvers.

You sense a faint aura of magic around the spiked double leather. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the leather is as some type of defensive garment. It also appears to have a temporary modification of some kind.

It has a bonus of +5 from a normal leather, and the way it vibrates in tune with your voice tells you that it is soft leather armor. It also has some type of special ability, but you can't tell what yet. The spiked double leather seems to have some sort of unusual protection against damage.
You think that you could probably find out something more about the leather if you tried.

The harmonics generated tell you that the leather serves to protect from magical attacks.
The leather resonates with your voice, revealing some details of its temporary enhancement:
The leather's enhancement will degrade when the wearer is struck in combat.
It should be able to withstand an incredible amount of uses before its enhancement has completely degraded away.
When its enhancement has degraded away, the item will simply return to normal.
As your song penetrates the spiked double leather, you determine that it is moderately resistant to disintegrating attacks.

I'm not a bard song specialist but it looks like the protection against damage refers to the resistance and looks like it is permanent.

The TD/magic protection should be temporary as it follows that reference. The amount of TD defense will need to be calculated by having someone at cast at you with and without the leather.
