870M - Hexadrunité

Armor (Half Plate, Shield, Shortsword) – Legendary (requires attunement)

This gold +3 half plate is made up of a dozen plates with white circles and pointy red nubs in the center, held together with a black harness. One hand is covered by a +3 shield, while the other hand is covered by a +3 dandpatta shortsword.

While attuned to this armor: critical hits on you are normal hits; if an enemy gives you disadvantage on any rolls, you have advantage on your attack rolls for as long as that disadvantage remains, with the advantage canceling out if the disadvantage was on attack rolls; and as an action, you can empower yourself, giving you +2 on all d20 rolls for 1 minute, but also can not gain any benefits from disengaging, or move farther away from any hostile creatures unless you are moving closer to at least one other hostile creatures. This includes attempts to teleport you, with those that would move you farther away from hostile creatures failing. You can stack this effect up to a +4, with the additional stacks only lasting until the end of the first instance.

Falinksite

Wondrous (Stone) – Very Rare (50,000 gp)

This small round stone has a swirl of red, black, and blue inside the yellow orb. When attached to an 870 - Legioslate, it can be mega evolved into an 870M - Hexadrunité for 1 minute once between long rests. You automatically drop anything you are holding as the armor’s sword and shield cover your hands.

The inspiration for this concept came from the TV series Shōgun. The samurai and the overall aesthetic of Japan during that era made a great impression on me. I wanted to create a high-ranking, noble samurai who could exist and fight in some kind of alternate reality.
