Base Armor Buckle Armor
This ominous-looking
+3 greater resilient greater acid-resistant buckle armor is deep red in color, favored by assassins who worship
Norgorber or
Asmodeus, and if unfastened, the many belts and buckles writhe like living snakes.
Ouroboros buckles have the
comfort trait. However, while wearing
ouroboros buckles, the unfathomable concept of infinity pulls at your mind, and each time you awaken, you'd swear the armor hissed into your ear while you were asleep. The hissing suggested secret wisdom to you in
Aklo, though you only ever remember it vaguely, like a fading dream.
Activate [two-actions] envision, Interact;
Frequency once per day;
Effect You call forth the cursed regenerative blood of an
ouroboros to recover from your wounds. You gain
regeneration 15 for 1 minute;
fire damage deactivates this regeneration. Each time you regain Hit Points from this regeneration, if you're in your normal form, you collapse into a large swarm of Tiny snakes. This is a
polymorph effect that changes you into a battle form.
When you're a swarm of snakes, you gain
low-light vision,
imprecise scent (30 feet), a Speed of 20 feet, a climb Speed of 20 feet, and a swim Speed of 20 feet. You have an AC of 16 + your level and ignore your armor's check penalty and Speed reduction. Also, you gain resistance 5 to physical damage and weakness 5 to area damage and
splash damage. You can use none of your normal Strikes. Instead, you can use Swarming Bites, a single action that deals 4d4 piercing damage plus 2d6 poison damage to creatures in your space with a DC 41
basic Reflex save.
If you're in this battle form and are already at full HP when your regeneration occurs, the snakes instantaneously slither together, and you transform into your original form.

ouroboros buckles spray acidic blood in a 15-foot cone toward the foe, dealing 5d6 acid damage with a DC 41

Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include blood from an
ouroboros to tan the leather.
