Mithril Raincoat

“If ya ever wanted to survive a lightning bolt and look smug about it—here’s yer chance.”

This sleek, silvery overcoat is made from mithril chainwoven into fine sea-spider silk, coated in a hydrophobic polish from the alchemists of Saltglass Bay. It shimmers like wet stone and never stays wet, no matter the storm. It crackles faintly when struck by lightning… then shrugs it off like a joke.

Course, it ain’t perfect. Mike once wore it into a wizard duel. “Lightning didn’t touch me,” he says. “But one magic missile hit my ribs so hard I sneezed blood for a week.”

Drip armor that turns storms into background noise.
👉 If you want to laugh in the face of thunder—until someone casts Force Cage—grab this slick nonsense at the Tavern Armory, or slap a soggy message on the bar.

• Lightning Resistance (Passive):
  You gain resistance to lightning damage while wearing the Raincoat.

• Stay Dry, Lad:
  The Raincoat automatically sheds water, fog, and mild magical dampness. You gain advantage on saves against weather-based hazards (like sleet, cold rain, blinding spray).

• Conductive Interference (Curse):
  You take +1 force damage from all sources. Why? “Because it grounds badly,” Mike says. “That’s why.”

• Slippery Swagger:
  Gain advantage on Persuasion checks against sailors, pirates, or water-dwelling creatures who respect good gear. If you showboat while doing it, the bonus applies twice.

GM Notes:

Use this for storm-heavy arcs, sea campaigns, elemental temples, or characters who want to laugh off lightning while looking like a washed-up noble. It’s flashy, it’s weird, and it begs to be used irresponsibly.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Verdant Ironmail for druidic storm tanks

• The Count of Thorneblight: A Smile Sharper Than Steel for fashion-forward chaos

• The Sorceress Who Glows Like a Villain But Fights Like a Hero

• No, Yer Character Doesn’t Need Another Flashback

• About Mike’s Tavern

It’ll keep you dry, fry your enemies, and make you smell like ozone and ego.

FAQ

Q: Does the coat lose its effects when damaged?
A: Only if someone casts heat metal or physically rips it off. And good luck with that—it’s mithril, lad.

Q: Can it be worn over regular armor?
A: Nope. This ain’t fashion week. It's armor on its own—and proud of it.

Q: Does the force damage weakness stack?
A: Nah. It’s always just +1. But the first time it kills ya, Mike will laugh.
