Prerequisites: Con 13, Natural Armor. It improves natural armor by 1, can be picked multiple times. Your PC would only have to select a monster race that has at least 1 point of natural armor, and you're set. Is there a race that has 1 point of Nat armor at LA 0 or 1 ? What's also interesting is that a very common protection item called the Amulet of Natural Armor gives an enhancement bonus to natural armor, meaning that it stacks with any base natural armor that you might already have. I DM a solo game for a friend of mine on Thursdays, and he plays a Minotaur (with 3 cohorts). He's only a 6 hit dice monster (he's chipping away his 2 LA's as per the UA before going fighter), and has little to no magic items. His base natural armor is 5, meaning that when he'll get a plushtwo or plushfour amulet, it'll go straight to his AC. Sweet, since he uses a huge spiked chain (4 squares reach). If you think I'm a munchkin, look at my avatar. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
