Creating a Dark Armor[edit]
This is a class that would need to be accepted by a DM but it was heavily influenced by the dark weapon class and I wanted to make a class like it but where you are armor instead and so I tried making a balanced class where you can be worn by an ally and your sole purpose is to take hits and have a big Health pool with ways to regain health and improve the resistances for the user or ally and help them survive they will take you AC and feats.
