Zealous anti-Attacking Protection

ARMOR RARE MAGICAL PROTOTYPE LIGHTNING Abjuration Requires Attunement

Your armor is fitted with experimental arcane capacitors that store electrical energy when the wearer is struck.

Charge Accumulation: Each time the wearer is hit by an attack, the armor gains 1 charge, up to a maximum number of charges equal to the wearer’s proficiency bonus. The charges remain until expended or until the wearer finishes a long rest, at which point all stored charges are lost.

Reactive Discharge: When the wearer is hit by an attack, they can use their reaction to expend any number of stored charges and release the stored energy at the attacker. The attacker takes Xd8 lightning damage, where X equals the number of charges expended.

Unstable Feedback: If the wearer expends two or more charges using this reaction, the armor’s unstable capacitors may overload. The wearer must roll a d6 immediately after resolving the damage.

On a 1, the wearer takes lightning damage equal to half the damage dealt to the attacker (rounded down).
