The twisted armor also adds the following line to the end of the armor's LOOK description: Unworn: Worn: Tier 2 - Twisted RetaliationAt 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. They are toggled ON or OFF with PROD. This tier also allows access to the TURN verb, which can toggle an added line below their inventory when someone looks at the character wearing it: A wavering haze of virescent fumes surrounds XXXXX's feet, clinging to the ground beside her.Tier 3 - Twisted AugmentationsAt 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.
Tier 4 - Twisted SynergyAt 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.Additional InformationTwisted Retaliation ExamplesObtained with the Tier 2 unlock: Example of successful evade: A tomb troll swings an iron morning star at you!
