Description
Iron Skin transforms the caster's skin into a thick hide that acted like armor. It provides a bonus to AsG when wearing robes (AsG 2). The caster gained the defensive benefits of wearing heavier armor without suffering the penalties. Wearing any armor heavier than robes (AsG 2) will completely nullify this effect!
- The base effect is to create a full leather equivalent (Armor Subgroup (AsG) 6), and can be increased to more powerful armor with training.
- The AsG increases by one according to seed 1 of one fifth the caster's ranks in Mental Lore, Transformation.
Monks also receive an innate bonus to the AsG of seed 1 of one fifth the caster's level. For example, a level 15 Monk (15/5 = 3, seed 1 gives a bonus of 2) with 5 ranks of Mental Lore, Transformation (5/5 = 1, seed 1 gives a bonus of 1) can cast Iron Skin to create the equivalent of leather breastplate (AsG 9 = 6 +2 + 1).
