The sculpted visage of a dragon adorns the chestpiece of this gleaming armor. Embellishments in the shapes of claws and draconic wings accent the rest of its intimidating appearance.

While you are wearing armor that has this property, you gain some protection from ranged attacks. Whenever you are hit by a nonmagical projectile that would deal 10 or fewer points of damage, you take no damage from that attack. The armor automatically turns back the projectile to strike the creature that fired it. Reroll the damage against the original attacker.
While you wear this armor, the embossed dragon head roars whenever battle is imminent, granting you a +4 competence bonus on initiative checks.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, protection from arrows, true seeing.
Cost to Create: 4,500 gp (plus 150 gp for base item), 360 XP, 9 days.
