Twisted armor

Twisted armor is scripted armor that debuted at the August 2024 run of Duskruin, in a Bloodriven Village. They were created by GameMaster Marstreforn. They are the armor counterpart to Twisted weapons and Twisted shields. Acid Edition, which is the only released version of this armor, comes with acid flares and a +20 enchantment. They are constructed of black alloy or leather. Tier 1 (OTS) At tier 1 (as sold in the shop) these shields have standard (Category B) flares.

Twisted Retaliation must be unlocked to enable the Flares customization. Usage Tier 2 - Twisted Retaliation At tier 2, the armor gains reactive (Category D) flares on a successful evade, or if hit by an attack, while in an aggressive stance (forward, advance, or offensive). These flares use a Standard maneuver roll to see if they hit. This tier also allows access to the TURN verb, which can toggle an added line below their inventory when someone looks at the character: Also adds a line below the wearer's inventory when you LOOK at them. This can be toggled ON or OFF with TURN. A wavering haze of virescent fumes surrounds XXXXX's feet, clinging to the ground beside her. Usage Tier 3 - Twisted Augmentations At tier 3, the armor gains a standard flare chance to grant a +5 bonus to TD against hostile warding spells. It also gains a standard flare chance to penalize maneuver-based abilities against the wearer by 5. Additionally, the armor gains a bonus to its chance to hit with Twisted Retaliation. Tier 4 - Twisted Synergy At tier 4, the armor gains a buff/cooldown ability called Twisted Synergy. Twisted Synergy can be activated using TOUCH, and requires Twisted Retaliation to be toggled ON. It lasts for 60 seconds, and has a 30 minute cooldown. At this tier, Twisted Augmentations instead has a chance to grant a +10 to TD against hostile warding spells, and instead has a chance to penalize maneuver-based abilities against the wearer by 10. Additionally, the armor gains a more significant bonus to its chance to hit with Twisted Retaliation.
