A layer of white down and long gray owl feathers covers this strange leather armor. Affixed to the matching helm are a pair of sweeping, feathery horns.
While wearing this +1 leather, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Listen and Move Silently checks. In addition, the armor has three other special abilities.
Once per day, you can activate the armor to gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Wisdom for 9 minutes.
Twice per day, you can activate the armor to gain a +5 competence bonus on Spot checks for 10 minutes; this effect functions only while in shadowy illumination.
Three times per day, you can cause the armor to sprout wings, allowing you to fly at a speed of 40 feet (good maneuverability) for 5 rounds.
The special properties of a suit of owlfeather armor function normally while you are in wild shape (although it does not grant its armor bonus to AC).
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, owl’s wisdom, wild shape.
