Gelliad's Armor (Magic Armor)

The armor that Galliad made for herself consists of a scale hauberk (a tunic covering the upper arms, thighs and torso), with matching leather greaves and gauntlets, an open faced helm. All this equipment is sized to fit a human female, or a male elf.
The scales on the hauberk are shards of skull (ore, human, elven, etc.), taken from Gelliad's victims, and the plate helm is carved from the skull of a huge ogre, so that the wearer looks out through the skull's eyes.
The armor in good repair is AC 6, standard scale armor, and the wearer takes only half damage from nonmagical attacks.
However, the bone sections of the hauberk and helm are prone to splinter if struck by magical weaponry, or the teeth or claws of magical creatures. For every adventure in which the armor is struck by magical attacks, its Armor Class is by one (6 becomes 7, 7 becomes 8, etc.) as bone sections fall off or shatter. If the armor is to be repaired, fresh > bones must be procured from those killed by the owner; if repaired with other bones or metal sections it ceases to offer any special protection u, against nonmagical attacks.
Gelliad was a noted mercenary who agreed to spare the life of a spiritualist if the shaman would teach her how to command the spirits. It took three years for Gelliad to complete her training, and on becoming a full shaman her first act was to kill her master.
Her career spanned two decades, and she armed herself with spiritual enchantments and earned a reputation as a formidable commander. Four years ago, she simply dropped from sight. The weapons that she had enchanted—her dagger, her sword and her armor—are now in other hands. Most assume that she has at last been killed and her possessions looted.
