This suit of +1 splint mail is worn by veteran sailors aboard warships who want as much protection as possible but still need to remain mobile enough to climb up rigging or swim should the need arise. The plates are arranged for maximum flexibility and the undercoat of padded armor is often no more than a cotton shrift. The armor grants you a +1 item bonus to Athletics checks to Climb or Swim and increases the distance you move when you successfully Climb or Swim by 5 feet.

Traits

Uncommon

Something of uncommon rarity requires special training or comes from a particular culture or part of the world. Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.

Invested

A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical

Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
