Ashresin Armor

A set of armor made from ashresin, a light and somewhat pliable but very hard material made from alchemical spell-ashes that have been bonded together into black sheets. Armor made from ashresin does not have a Strength requirement, nor does it impose disadvantage on stealth checks. It weighs half of what a regular metal suit of the same type would weigh.

The residual magical energy in the plates can absorb some of the energy whenever the wearer takes fire, cold, thunder, lightning, acid or poison damage. As a reaction to taking one of those types of damage when wearing the armor, you can reduce the damage taken by a number of d6s equal to your proficiency bonus. Once you use this reaction, you need to finish a short or long rest before you can do it again.

Very rare variant: You also gain resistance to the absorbed element until the feature recharges.
