Back to Famous Armor and Shields
Dragon Fist Power Armor
First appearing in Wizbits Extreme as the preferred armor of non-Wizbit characters, Dragon Fist Power Armor resembles a massive suit of plate armor, heavily jointed, and with a sheet of Elemenstated crystal as a visor. The magical energy in the armor makes it effectively weightless, and heavily amplifies the physical strength of the wearer, allowing him to punch through stone walls or leap over houses. Also, being hit by a sword wielded by a guy in these things really, really hurts.
Dragon Fist Power Armor has since become fairly widespread in fan-works and in the ELotH: TES - Pen and Paper RPG, despite only appearing in non-canonical sources after its introduction.
It is well known that Robert A. Heinlein, author of Starship Troopers (which introduced power armor to the world), literally spun in his grave shortly after the introduction of Dragon Fist power armor, although it is unknown why he spun at this and not the movie adaptation of Starship Troopers.
General Defense Dynamics produced a working suit of power armor based on the design, which has yet to be implemented due to the power armor's tendency to shatter every bone in the wearer's body if he attempted to move in any normal way. Unfortunately, this design flaw was only discovered after several suits were accidentally dispatched with Wizbits Halloween costumes.

| Actually, there's a legend going around about one or two that shipped and worked. I wouldn't have believed it but I ran into one at a convention... The giveaway was when he picked up one of the finnish Lopae of Hopea booth girls, the tall one at E-storm 05. You just can't lift 250 pounds with one arm and run out the exit that fast. |
