Image
Located in the CAN Republic on the moon, KLS has always been a forerunner in innovation. The KLS Triarius Heavy Armor is a proof of concept suit designed after the first Arkhon invasion as a response that menace. This armor has proven itself in all the trials thrown at it. KLS has clandestinely delivered a limited number of suits to terrestrial sources gather further information on its capabilities.

• The modular arm shield can be equipped on either upper arm. Choose one of the following modes to utilize at any one time.

• •The shield deploys itself to provide cover. It's large size effectively gives the wearer light cover. Positioning the shield in this manner is a free action due to the Voice-controlled Computer Integrated Management & Security System (CIMSS).


Mantle of Immortality
No one knows where Watcher found this artifact, what is known is that the device is incredibly powerful and seems to be custom designed for a being like himself or perhaps a dragon. Whenever he is seen, Watcher has the mantel and unfortunately efforts to find more information about it by others are always foiled by Watchers quirk of only answering with questions.
Where ever it came from the mantel seems to bend fate just a little bit making it so things just go a little bit in his favor no matter the situation. This protection has worked out well for him on more than one occasion, leaving him untouched when assaulted by swarms.

Game Mechanics
  • Base Item: Mantel Barding (10,000)
  • Major: Dodge (40,000)
  • Major: Improved Dodge (80,000)
  • Minor: +1 Parry (10,000)
  • Minor: +1 Parry (10,000)
    Total: 150,000
