What Glamoured Studded Leather does

  • This armor starts at AC 13 and uses your full Dexterity modifier. A negative modifier still reduces AC.
  • It does not impose Stealth Disadvantage from the armor itself, which preserves more options for sneaking.
While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class. You can also take a Bonus Action to cause the armor to assume the appearance of a normal set of clothing or some other kind of armor. You decide what it looks like—including color, style, and accessories—but the armor retains its normal bulk and weight. The illusory appearance lasts until you use this property again or doff the armor.
