SPECIAL FEATURES
- Rhak-Skuri Carapace possesses the ability to produce hallucination-causing pheromones.
- + Dream Singer: In life, the average Rhak-Skuri is capable of producing pheromones which induce terrifying hallucinations. This armor produces the same pheromones to a much lesser degree; simply due to the fact that the carapace is not alive. These pheromones dissipate into open air very easily, and therefore are only capable of affecting adversaries within very close proximity of the armor - via inhalation. However, once the pheromones have entered the body, the hallucinations are vivid and often debilitating.
- + Durability: Rhak-Skuri Carapace is naturally resilient and is capable of withstanding glancing blows from lightsabers, blaster bolts, etc.
- - Indiscriminate: As the pheromones are effective via inhaling, the wearer is directly exposed to them at all times. If measures are not taken, this will produce hallucinations in the wearer, perpetually.
- - Airborne: As the concentration of pheromones is meager compared to the live creature, anything greater than a summer breeze poses the risk of blowing the pheromones away from an adversary.
- - Filtration: The pheromones are not corrosive by any means, and therefore can be filtered out by helm-based systems.
To shatter focus is to claim Victory.
As a result of an ambitious journey, [member="Lady Psyona"] was able to create a rather vicious suit of armor. By harvesting the carapace of a felled Rhak-Skuri did she and her fellow Mandragora weave together this protective measure. At a glance, the primary attribute of the armor is Intimidation. However, drawing close to the wearer reveals its true intent: the shattering of all focus. In death, the carapace of the fallen beast yet retained an ability it had in life: the creation of hallucinogenic pheromones.
However, as the harvest occurred without Alchemy, the pheromones produced are significantly lesser.
As such, the armor excels in excessively close-range combat. The Carapace alone boasts impressive durability - able to withstand glancing blows from lightsabers, blasters, and the like. Furthermore, the pheromones afford the wearer an opportunity to concentrate and muster magicks; as inhaling the pheromones causes vivid hallucinations very quickly. By shattering the focus and center of an opponent can any Mandragora buy herself time to prepare a counterassault. And by wearing the Rhak-Skuri Armor can Lady Psyona achieve victory.
