Rank: Shield is Strong, Armor is Legendary

Type: Shield and plate armor

Description: Armor

Spoiler:

The armor is made of a strange an incredibly rare metal known as Tyrychtiam, which can only be found on the small island kingdom of Karkarov. The suit of armor is ungodly heavy, weighing in at three hundred pounds on its own. The red cape on the back is emblazoned with a large and ornate gold phoenix mark, pictured below.

The Shield

Spoiler:

The shield, like the armor, is made of Tyrychtiam, making it incredibly heavy and durable. It is four feet tall and two and a half feet across, and weighs two hundred and thirty four pounds.

Strengths: -Incredibly heavy. Most people would struggle to move these items at all, let alone steal them or use them.

- The shield and armor are made of Tyrychtiam, which has the ability to reflect magic back, in small parts, making them the greatest tools someone could have when fighting wizards.

- Another side effect of the great weight and strength of the metal used is its durability. Almost all weak weapons are useless against these protective items unless wielded by the absolute strongest of foes. This implies weak weapons give no damage boost to the user when attacking against these items. Is this what is being stated? As if it is this would have to be an ability, even than as an ability if this is what its stating its an immunity against weak weapons and immunity things are no longer permitted. I can make some suggestions if you decide to try keeping this if I'm right.

Weaknesses: - Tyrychtiam is an incredibly powerful magical metal, but it does have a weakness. Another metal, known as Poseidian, has the unique ability to penetrate Tyrchtiam with ease, rendering any protections the armor may grant obsolete.

- Because of the immense weight only Akryn, and other similarly super strong beings, can carry it or use it effectively. So no one can retrieve the shield or armor for the wearer. Also, should the wearer fall into deep water with these items he will sink to the bottom at an incredible speed, and stay there.

- Tyrychtiam is a very sought after metal. Many smiths would pay their legs for a chance to work with it, literally, and many a knight would find great comfort in holding such items. Because of this they are always in peril of being stolen by ambitious beings. With the great weight this kind of theft is incredibly difficult, but there are some who could do it, and others who would try.
Four weaknesses for three strengths.

Abilities: Shield: - The shield is capable of reflecting a portion of any attack back at its caster, or more specifically, back into the attack. A sword striking the shield would find a portion of the power behind the swing bouncing back into the attack. An example of this would be like this:

A caster throws a stream of fire that hits the shield. 15% of the spell rebounds into the stream of fire, working as a counter to eliminate a total of 30% the initial attack power. This is a constant and passive enchantment with no cooldown. Any attack that hits the shield suffers from the rebound, with differing ranks having differing amounts mirrored back.

D ranks have 40% reflected
C ranks have 35% reflected
B ranks have 30% reflected
A ranks have 25% reflected
S ranks have 20% reflected
H ranks have 15% reflected

The reflection is innefective against area attacks that land without hitting the shield. A fireball hitting the ground in front of Akryn and spreading outwards wont be able to reflect the attack since it is coming from multiple directions at once.


Armor: The armor has the same ability as the shield, except at a lesser rank. The difference in reflected power is

D ranks have 25% reflected
C ranks have 20% reflected
B ranks have 15% reflected
A ranks have 10% reflected
S ranks have no magic or power reflected
H ranks have no magic or power reflected
Best way to work this is to have the shield/armor send back a portion of the attack, but not actually affect the damage the character/item receives outside the normal system. So you take full damage. Thus than its a simple bounce back. However please keep the number's low, under 25% total which is where we tend to cap reflection, as this a potent ability.

The second ability of the armor is damage reduction. The armor reduces all damage taken, from all sources, by the following scale.

Takes 30% less damage from all D rank attacks
25% less damage from all C ranks attacks
20% less damage from all B rank attacks
15% less damage from all A rank attacks
10% Less damage from all S rank damage
5% less damage from all H rank attacks

Damage reduction caps at 25% per ability most times, so please make it match this~
