The **Gladiator Armor** is a special class armor for the [[en:rpd:gladiator_subclass|Gladiator]] subclass in Remixed Dungeon. It extends [[en:rpd:warrior_armor_item|Warrior Armor]] and provides the same Leap special ability.

  * **[[en:rpd:identification|Identification]]:** Becomes identified when worn or when seen in inventory after being identified

==== Special Mechanics ====

  * **Stun Effect:** Stuns adjacent enemies for 3 turns upon landing

According to the game's string resources (inherited from Warrior Armor): "This lightweight armor enables a warrior to perform a special leap attack."
