Notes

• The  Reeling condition from Intense Adamantine Backlash is renewed on each successful hit against the wearer, and is removed on miss.
• The Reeling condition from Intense Adamantine Backlash and  Adamantine Shield do not stack. If an opponent is sent Reeling on hit from Adamantine Backlash, the Reeling from Adamantine Shield is not applied when the opponent misses and the Reeling status from Intense Adamantine Backlash is removed. If the opponent is sent Reeling after a miss from Adamantine Shield, the condition is removed upon a successful hit and the reeling from Intense Adamantine Backlash is not applied.
• The effectiveness of Adamantine Backlash ironically goes down the more AC the wearer has because it only triggers on a successful hit and Reeling is removed on a miss. As a result, Intense Adamantine Backlash also increases the likelihood that the opponent can recover from Reeling, contrary to Adamantine Shield.
