Nanietharil

Note: This magic item was created by Ari Marmell and appears in the module "Fortress of the Yuan-ti", as published by Wizards of the Coast LLC.

Nanietharil is one of the legacy items used by King Theron (“The Forgotten King”) and his entourage in the early days of the third age. It was found by V2 in the year 1111, along with the staff Banrhialorg, the sword Merthúvial, and the shield Aegis Inviolable.

Nanietharil – or “Gift of the Ancient foe” – is a set of scale mail made of overlapping layers of darkwood carved to resemble leaves. Its dark hue is broken by a leaf-and-branch pattern in dull gold.

Nonlegacy Game Statistics: +1 darkwood scale mail; cost 1,150 gp. You can reroll one Survival check per day. The decision to reroll must be made before the result of the original roll is known.

Omen: When worn in a wooded or grassy area, the stitched pattern shifts in shape and hue to match the native flora.

This entry may be a typo. The module says “abilities of the shield”, so it may be a cut-and-paste error from another legacy item. However, I have chosen to keep it as is and replace the word “shield” with “armor”

Not sure why this column is here since spellcasting is not listed as a prerequisite
