These strange pants are made from mercurial metal, seamless and liquid in appearance. They fit perfectly to the wearer’s form and are tight in fit. In addition with practice the wearer can learn to better control the pants mercurial nature, adding details to the garments and allowing them to form pockets and spaces to hold or grip equipment as necessary. In either form the living steel pants weighs a hefty 12.5 pounds.
The pants are considered to be piecemeal armor (although any class can wear them, due to their thin and magical nature) and adds a +2 bonus to the wearer’s Armor Class; or if the wearer already has an AC better than this, the living steel pants instead only grants and additional +1 bonus to the wearer’s AC.
Also, regardless of any damage done to the armor it will seal back up unharmed, regenerating itself and fixing itself as per a permanent mending spell; however, if a significant amount of its substance is destroyed, the living steel pants will need to be “fed” more metal to once again regain its mass.
