Armor (leather), rare

This armor protects its wearer from various environmental hazards. It covers the wearer completely, and magically seals itself closed against certain environmental effects.

While wearing the armor, you gain the following benefits:

You can tolerate temperatures as high as 150 degrees Fahrenheit without any additional protection.
You can breathe normally underwater. In addition, you ignore the effects of any gaseous poison or airborne diseases, such as the stinking cloud spell.
Whenever you are subjected to acid damage as the result of being engulfed by or submerged in something, you take no damage instead (such as from being eaten by a dragon, absorbed by an ooze, or swimming in an acid pit)

It takes twice as long as normal to don and doff this armor.

A few minutes later, the hunter crawled out of the worm's cooling corpse, wiping off his suit and twirling an immovable rod. Undignified? Perhaps, but unquestionably effective.
