The armor doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air, food, drink, or sleep. \n'b'  Damage Transfer . While attached to a creature, the armor takes only half the damage dealt to it (rounded down), and that creature takes the other half. \n'b'  False Appearance . While the armor remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal suit of armor. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The armor makes two slam attacks and can use Attach. \n'b'  Slam .  Melee Weapon Attack : +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage, and the target is  grappled  (escape DC 15) if it is a Medium or smaller creature. While grappling a creature, the armor can\xe2\x80\x99t make slam attacks against another target. \n'b'  Attach . The armor violently squeezes a creature it is grappling into itself. The creature must make a DC 16  Strength  saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage, and the armor attaches to the creature. While attached, the armor shares the creature\xe2\x80\x99s space and it moves with the creature when the creature moves. The creature\xe2\x80\x99s speed is halved and it makes  attack  rolls,  Dexterity  checks, and  Dexterity  saving throws with disadvantage. If the grapple ends, the armor is no longer attached and moves to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the creature. \n'b'  Constrict . A creature  grappled  by the armor makes a DC 16  Constitution  saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Suits of astringent armor are dangerous animated constructs found in abandoned dungeons, cursed fortresses, and the strongholds of powerful spellcasters. \n'b' Wherever they\xe2\x80\x99re found, these mindless abominations protect their master\xe2\x80\x99s treasures faithfully and often unfailingly. \n'b' In its purest form, astringent armor resembles a simple empty suit of plate mail or other armor common to the region. More often than not, though, adventurers stumble upon an astringent armor after it has already claimed at least one victim. Horrifyingly, though they are mindless, suits of astringent armor seem to prefer walking around with their latest victim still crushed inside-at least until they find a fresher body to enshroud and destroy. In such cases, the astringent armor is mistaken for an armor-clad zombie or other undead, a mistake that has put many would-be thieves in an early grave. Closer inspection, however, reveals that the encased body is horribly crushed and mangled, and bits of bone and flesh stick out sickeningly through the joints in the armor\xe2\x80\x99s plates. \n'b' In combat, suits of astringent armor singlemindedly grab their victims, then attempt to reassemble themselves around their prey. Once attached, the armor begins shrinking, slowly crushing the unfortunate body trapped within. \n'b' Suits of astringent armor most commonly come about via arcane rituals, similar to those used to animate other mundane objects. Sometimes though, they manifest in other ways-such as from a curse placed on an armor-wearing warrior who betrayed the wrong witch, a fiend who possessed a suit of armor but subsequently lost its identity, or simply from raw evil energy seeping into armor from the Negative Energy Plane. In all of these cases, such suits of astringent armor possess just a bit more intellect than most of their kind, as well as a spark of genuine wickedness.'
