Armadillo Cloak- Wondrous item (cape), Uncommon
The outside of this cloak has a rough, leathery texture, while the inside is soft like velvet, and the cloak itself is large enough to swaddle your whole body. The cloak has 5 charges, and regains 1d4 charges each day at dawn. As an action on your turn, you can draw the cloak around yourself and speak the command word, expending a charge as you do so and causing it to harden into a sphere that fully encloses you. Then as part of the same action you can move up to your speed by rolling along the ground. During this movement you can move through hostile creature’s spaces as if they were difficult terrain, and when you move through a creature’s space, make a melee weapon attack against it. On a hit, the attack deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier. At the end of your movement, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt this way.

How does the final ability of Armadillo Cloak differ from actual lifelink? Is it a functional difference in how the ability resolves, or is the difference only in that the ability doesn't actually belong to the creature?
It’s different in a few ways:
First of all, it’s a trigger that has to go on the stack and resolve. When a creature with lifelink deals damage, its controller gains life as part of the damage being dealt. This happens immediately. Armadillo Cloak’s trigger has to go on the stack and resolve before any life is gained, meaning that in some situations where you would block with the enchanted creature, the lifegain would happen too late to keep you alive.
Also, Armadillo Cloak’s controller gains the life, not the creature’s controller. This means that you can put Armadillo Cloak on another player’s creature and gain the life when it deals damage.
