Suits of animated armor see use both as guardians and as training partners in high-end martial academies able to afford the extravagance.

Abilities
Construct Armor (Hardness 9) — Like normal objects, an animated armor has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage it takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once an animated armor is reduced to less than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks and its Armor Class is reduced to 13.
