Fiend Armor

Worn by more than a dozen commanding officers of the Companion Guard and a handful of military leaders outside of Rauxes, these are armors forged in hellish fires. Chain mail and plate mail versions are known to exist. They are wearable only by creatures of LE and NE alignments. Others donning the armor suffers 1d4 points of burning damage per round, double this if they are of good alignment. Fiend armors are worn by powerful warriors in the service of evil masters aligned with baatezu.

Fiend armor is usually of +2 or +3 enchantment. It confers the same resistances to attack modes as all baatezu possess: half damage from gas and cold attacks, and immunity to fire, contact poison, and nonmagical iron weapons. The wearer also gains magic resistance equal to 2% per experience level and becomes immune to magical alignment change. Finally, the wearer can animate dead once a week as if an 8th-level priest.
