Description

The Invulnerable Coat of Arnd is a shining coat of chainmail which covers the chest and abdomen, and will fit any humanoid regardless of size. It renders the areas protected completely invulnerable to physical attacks, protects the wearer from spells, fire, acid, cold and disease.

History

The priests and great craftsmen of the land of the wizard tyrant Virtos worked together to create an invulnerable coat in order to endow a new champion with the strength and courage needed to defeat their oppressor. Arnd arrived and agreed to don the Coat and led the people into battle, defeating Virtos utterly.

Arnd is known as the possessor (in more ways than one) of the Invulnerable Coat of Arnd. It is said that Arnd's spirit still inhabits the armor that bears his name, attempting to aid the poor whenever possible.
