Clockwork Armor - how does it work?

[Senevri]

I, like many, have done some Iron Man stuff with clockwork armor. Making it an item familiar is a step to the right direction.
Would it be a valid target to Awaken Construct, then?

Would there be a benefit from dwarvencraft githcraft feycraft? By that stoneblessed wild soul gith artificier?

Armor does not resize to fit the wearer, as stated in MiC it, weapons and I think shields, do not resize. I know weapons and armor do not for sure.

Sizing is Weapons only.

Alternate armor sizes, etc is before enchanting cost. But you do multiply the material costs. (Adamantine, Mithral, etc)

Thus, large Mithral fullplate is 21,000. And for +5, 46k.

What happens if you add Armor spikes of sizing +1? Do just the spikes size?

[A_Shadow_of_Life]

The spikes get bigger. And you take penalties for using a weapon to big for you (If used as a weapon!)

1) Make it an intelligent item (maybe by being an item familiar)
2) Give it a psionic item that lets it use the Expansion/Compression power(s). (Tattoos work, as do dorjes if it has UPD ranks, or a custom item)
3) ?
4) Profit

I had no idea the topic would be this popular

you'd need one big ass needle to tattoo metal.

If you could find away to give it class levels, with levels in shaper...

You'd have your own escaflowne.


Are there rules for riding inside something that is changing shape?

It's legal. All it says is that the creature must have a surface to put the tattoo on (so no incorporeals, etc). You can also transfer the tattoo from one creature to another after its creation. So yeah... in a world where guys can make giant fireballs from bat guano and sulfur... it's not even hard to believe.

I made an arena build that had a few tricks the other day, and one of them was having a psionic "emitter" tattoo on his psicrystal for a psicrystal torpedo.

Hardening isn't instantaneous. The original version in the Dragonlance Campaign Setting was, but the Spell Compendium and the Eberron Campaign Setting versions are permanent.

Matter Manipulation still works, although it is expensive.  It does have the nice side-effect of also boosting the hit points, though.

Why not make the armour out of riverine?

by RAW, even if you could, it would still freeze up.

Stops people from attacking it and paralysing you though.
