# Armor of Vulnerability (Slashing) *Cursed item, rare (requires attunement)* - **Properties**: [Cursed](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/item-properties.md#Cursed%20Items) While wearing this armor, you have [Resistance](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md) to Slashing damage. ## Curse This armor is cursed, a fact that is revealed only when the [Identify](3-Mechanics/CLI/spells/identify-xphb.md) spell is cast on the armor or you attune to it. Attuning to the armor curses you until you are targeted by a [Remove Curse](3-Mechanics/CLI/spells/remove-curse-xphb.md) spell or similar magic; removing the armor fails to end the curse.
