Wearing this armor will increase the size of all font spells by one step. //atm it's medium/large/huge with no foci/GSF:Abj/LSF:Abj, so would increase to large/huge/colossal

Wearing this armor will increase the AC granted to yourself by the Barkskin Spell by 1. //it'd reach +18, 19 max on a pure druid with PSF:Trans, same of a good randomized XR amulet.

Intended power level

Paragon.

The build it is intended for

Druids.

The item currently used that it would replace

Wrap of Raphael on robed druids.
There are the already linked Maladomini (with elemental DR) and Zionyn (with phisical DR) light armors for base AC 1 and 2 options, so we need a Set Robe, and this one covers exotic DR.
It would be a defensive/party support oriented option, giving up the powerful DC bonus to 1-6 spells or +1 SP you get from other armors.
The fonts aoe increase is a big quality of life improvement and works for both Abj and not-Abj focused druids, the Barkskin one is mostly cosmetic and useless (if not as backup) on Illusion druids, but welcome to offset bad luck with randomized amulets, while AC in robes is not that uber for druids anyway.

I like it. Provides slots, utility, defenses - but not without sacrifice. It looks stronger than it actually is when compared to stuff people have after all these years when they tackle paragon areas; Wrap of Raphaels with UR augs and spellimm 6...

I'm also a fan of all supportive specials over the usual stacked DC / SP.

Agree with Woku, looks quite reasonable. There are possibly better godly-randomised BURs which is essentially what I believe Funky wants (good Paragon Set items that aren't indisputably the best for their slot - it would be a hard choice whether I would wear this over my current Wrap of Raphael).
Improving Fonts is also a 'team play' ability as opposed to personal power, which IMO is always good for the server.

I would note that in general, Robe-wearing Druids wear Asmo Cloak which provides 15/- Exotics, so this item wouldn't be a cheap way to cheese Exotic Resists due to stacking.
