[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 3178661, member: 3424"] I don't have the book with me at the moment, but I'll try to work off memory. [B]1) What kind of bonus to AC is it? 2a) What does the husk's AC bonus stack with? 2b) What doesn't it stack with?[/B] I'm inclined to treat it as an armor bonus to AC. This means it won't stack with anything that provides an armor bonus to AC (such as [I]bracers of armor[/I] or a [I]mage armor[/I] spell), but it will stack with a shield, or with natural armor. I wouldn't consider it natural armor because I want draconic races with tougher scales to get the same AC boost from the ability as those with weaker scales, and making it a boost to natural armor makes it too easy to increase AC with spells and items that provide an armor bonus to AC. [B]3) Does it provide a bonus to touch AC and/or flatfooted AC?[/B] As an armor bonus, it adds to flat-footed AC, but not to touch AC. [B]4) Can you cast spells in it without a chance of arcane spell failure?[/B] Yes. [B]5) Would a dragonblooded changeling with a husk be able to disguise it as just another part of his body?[/B] I'd rule yes, but imperfectly. A Spot check that beats his Disguise check would reveal that the changeling's skin appears harder and scalier than it should be. [/QUOTE]
