Ouroboros Buckles
ITEM 19This ominous-looking +3 greater resilient greater acid-resistant buckle armor is deep red in color, favored by assassins who worship Norgorber or Asmodeus, and if unfastened, the many belts and buckles writhe like living snakes. Its form and abilities were inspired by ouroboros, embodiments of eternity that continually consume and regenerate their bodies and appear to be formed from masses of snakes. Ouroboros buckles have the comfort trait. However, while wearing ouroboros buckles, the unfathomable concept of infinity pulls at your mind, and each time you awaken, you'd swear the armor hissed into your ear while you were asleep. The hissing suggested secret wisdom to you in Aklo, though you only ever remember it vaguely, like a fading dream.
When you're a swarm of snakes, you gain low-light vision, imprecise scent (30 feet), a Speed of 20 feet, a climb Speed of 20 feet, and a swim Speed of 20 feet. You have an AC of 16 + your level and ignore your armor's check penalty and Speed reduction. Also, you gain resistance 5 to physical damage and weakness 5 to area damage and splash damage. You can use none of your normal Strikes. Instead, you can use Swarming Bites, a single action that deals 4d4 piercing plus 2d6 poison damage to creatures in your space with a DC 41 basic Reflex save.
If you're in this battle form and are already at full HP when your regeneration occurs, the snakes instantaneously slither together, and you transform into your original form.
