This carapace of a strange shelled creature is formed into a strong suit of armour. While it is light it gives very good protection and makes sure that vital areas cant be reached. But the really special things of this armour only show when the user is capable of using alternate form, wildshape or other form of shape changing. When the wearer of this armour changes shape the protective properties of the armour remain in place even if the new form is unable to ware it. Instead of melding into the new form and becoming inactive or falling to the ground it melds into the new form and keeps its protective properties intact.
Armour: The armour plates protect the wearer from being hit. When alternated formed the plates become a force effect that hangs around the user. This gives a +8 bonus to AC
Vital Protection: Haukkua Kilpi protects the vital parts of the wearer preventing nasty damage. Giving the user the benefits of heavy fortification.
