Segojan's Armor

Segojan's armor magically weaves grass and roots into temporary armor. Once created, the armor provides protection equal to scale mail (AC 6). Although it does not possess any magical plusses (+1, and so on), it does radiate magic. Because of its composition, it is nearly weightless, with an encumbrance value equal to normal clothing. It prevents magic missile and similar spells from damaging the wearer, completely negating them. Segojan's armor acts as actual armor, so magical items like bracers of defense and spells like armor cannot be used with it

When the spell expires, the armor immediately unravels into its component parts. A successful dispel magic or similar effect ends the spell immediately.

Before casting this spell, the priest gathers an armload of grass and roots, and places the material in a pile. Next, an ounce of powdered iron is sprinkled over the collected foliage, and the spell is cast. As the incantation is uttered, the roots and grass weave themselves into a suit of armor tailored specifically to the caster, other beings cannot wear it. The caster's holy symbol is required during the casting. Only the iron powder is consumed in the casting.

Notes: Granted by the gnome god Segojan Earthcaller.
