Prerequisite(s): Shindroid, Composite Plating racial trait.
BENEFIT
This plating is counted as heavy armor and reduces movement speed accordingly (30ft becomes 20ft). It grants a +8 armor bonus to Armor Class and a damage reduction bonus of 2/adamantine. The character also incurs a 35% chance for spell failure, a -5 armor check penalty, and a +1 maximum dexterity bonus. Plating is considered weightless for determining the shindroid’s encumbrance.
Plating may be enchanted as magic armor, though the shindroid must be present at all times during the process. The plating requires the use of the Masterwork Transformation spell to become masterwork. This also replaces the composite plating racial trait.
Special: You may only select this feat at 1st level.
