A dark-grey, gnome-sized, plate mail +6. If it is donned at least once a day for six weeks, the armor may be taken off and ordered to fight autonomously and assist its owner as an animated armor (hob2). The independent marionette uses its owners attack bonuses and proficiencies. It is too clunky to sneak, and if it can animate, it is too egotistical to disguise itself as inert armor.
