whalebone corset 

A standard brown, silk paneled, whalebone corset, meant to be worn above a chemise and underneath clothing. This corset is considered a basic for most people in the know with fashion. This corset is designed to be laced in the back. It can be laced in different styles, all of which affect the corset’s abilities. Some people may use a corset to smuggle documents in or out of somewhere, or take advantage of the strength of silk and whalebone, while others simply enjoy its fashionablity.

The Whalebone Corset grants +2 to AC and resistance to piercing damage when worn. Different lacing styles affect this bonus. It cannot be worn in conjunction with armor, but capes / bracers, et. all do not conflict with the corset. You do not have to be proficient with armor to wear the corset.

Lacing

When you equip this corset, you must take 10-15 minutes to lace the corset, and declare which lacing style you are using. You roll a Dexterity check, and you may be assisted by a companion, which lowers the DC, but the check is still made by the player equipping the corset. On a failed save, you will only accomplish Loose Lacing. You may attempt to relace it, so long as you can take another 10-15 minutes. When using Standard Lacing, Tight Lacing, or Fanciful Lacing, you must take the corset off before taking a long rest, or you will incur 1 exhaustion point and take 1d4 bludgeoning damage when you awaken.

Loose Lacing: 0 DC. A poorly laced corset, or one purposefully laced loosely. Instead of +2 to AC and resistance to piercing damage, only take +1 to AC. May be worn during a long rest.

Comfortable Lacing: 10 DC, or automatic success if aided by a companion. Though not as tight as most lace their corset, it still fits nice to your body. No extra benefits, but may be worn during a long rest without incurring damage and exhaustion.

Standard Lacing: 15 DC, or 5 if aided by a companion. The most common tightness to lace a corset, for both ease of movement and shaping. +1 to Charisma.

Tight Lacing: 15 DC, or 10 if aided by a companion. This style of lacing is meant to create a more extreme hourglass shape, and can become painful after long periods of wear. +2 to Charisma, -1 to Constitution. If worn for more than 4 hours, take 1d4 bludgeoning damage.

Fanciful Lacing: 20 DC, or 15 if aided by a companion. This style of lacing is worn atop your clothing, and the beautiful knot work attracts eyes. +1 to Charisma, and you may use your allure for advantage on Persuasion, Performance, and Deception checks. You may only use this once per long rest.

Enchanting

This corset may be enchanted. The most standard enchantments, ones carried by most enchanters through out the land, are listed below.

Whalebone Corset +1/+2: The corset may be enhanced, granting a +3 to AC for 100gp, or +4 to AC for 500gp.

Corset of Displacement: By tapping into magic and black spidersilk, the corset now functions as a Cloak of Displacement, giving enemies disadvantage on attacks against you, until you take damage. However, one must have a Cloak of Displacement and it is burned up in the enchanting process.

Corset of Holding: The tailor extends the corset to include an overbust, causing it to function like a bag of holding. If taken off, a small black pocket on the interrior holds any and all items one places in the corset. This costs the same as a bag of holding. You cannot put creatures inside the Corset of Holding.

Corset of Seduction: By improving the look of the corset so it may always be worn outside of one's clothes, the corset will always give you advantage on Persuasion, Performance, and Deception checks, for ~300gp.
