Campaign: The Lost Mine - Ian
This chain shirt is made with the finest elven craftmanship and only weighs 10 lbs. No sound can be heard from its chain links as they move about.
"Silence in Shadows" is an elven made magic Chain Shirt which provides a +1 bonus to AC.
While wearing it, you can apply your full Dexterity modifier (instead of a maximum of +2)
when determining your Armor Class (so total AC = 14 + Dex modifier).
You are considered proficient with this armor even if you lack Proficiency with Medium armor.
While you wear "Silence in Shadows", your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across.
You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently.
