Brassy Bracers

This pair of brass dragon scales, each about the size and shape of a man’s fist, are edged in mithral and set with moonstones in a spiral pattern. Affixed to the back of each is a buckle and leather strap so they can be worn on the forearms.

Once per day, the wearer of brassy bracers can activate them with a purely mental swift action. This surrounds the wearer in a swirling shield of superheated air for up to 10 rounds. The shimmering heat waves provide concealment for him, imposing a 20% miss chance on attacks made against him. The wearer can deactivate the effect as a standard action.

In addition, the heat deals 2d6 points of fire damage to any creatures striking the wearer with a natural attack or nonreach melee weapon. The wearer is immune to the heat damage of his own bracers.

Anyone donning brassy bracers receives mental instructions in Draconic on the effects of the item and how to activate it.

This item is a dweomered dragon scale.
