Chromatic Armor

Target1 willing creature
Duration1 minute

You wrap the target in armor made of sheets of colored light. The armor sheds bright light for 20 feet (and dim light for the next 20 feet). Whenever a creature attacks the target and is adjacent to it, the attacker must attempt a Will save at the end of its action. On a failure, it becomes Dazzled until the end of its next turn. Regardless of the result of the save, the attacker is temporarily immune until the end of its next turn. The dazzling effect has the light and visual traits.

When you cast the spell, roll 1d8 twice on the table below to see the armor's colors (rerolling any duplicates). Each color grants resistance 5 to the indicated damage type. If you spend three actions to Cast the Spell, roll three times instead.

  • Red fire
  • Orange acid
  • Yellow electricity
  • Green poison
  • Blue sonic
  • Indigo mental
  • Violet force
  • Matching Color The armor becomes the color matching the type of damage the target took most recently in the past minute. If it didn't take any of those seven types of damage or the armor is already that color, roll again, rerolling any results of 8.

Light

Creatures and objects in dim light have the Concealed condition, unless the seeker has darkvision or low-light vision, or a precise sense other than vision."},{"c0":"Darkness","c1":"A creature or object within darkness is Hidden or undetected unless the seeker has darkvision or a precise sense other than vision. A creature without darkvision or another means of perceiving in darkness has the Blinded condition while in darkness, though it might be able to see illuminated areas beyond the darkness. If a creature can see into an illuminated area, it can observe creatures within that illuminated area normally. After being in darkness, sudden exposure to bright light might make you Dazzled for a short time, as determined by the GM."}]}
