Armor, Very Rare (Requires Attunement, Good Alignment)
For elite combat troops that often find themselves in the fiercest parts of a battle, the Herald Lancers wear surprisingly little armor. Their protection comes from complete faith and devotion to Basion, the god of justice. The force of their trust is strong enough that it manifests as a soft aura.
The little armor worn by the Lancers acts as a focus for their faith. It channels their divine energy into a glassy sheen that covers the vital parts of their body. The armor is so effective as a focus that it can be used by any devout souls to amplify holy protection; however, people with little faith or evil intentions that attempt to don the armor will find it to be brittle and flimsy.
