Description
This spell toughens the target's skin, granting the indicated enhancement bonus to natural armor (DR). The maximum total bonus is +5.
Variations & Options:
Ironguard option: The target becomes "immune" to non-magical metal. Metal weapons pass harmlessly through him, and he can easily pass through metal walls, doors, and bars. If he makes attacks with a natural weapon against a creature with non-magical metal armor, the armor provides no DR. Note, however, that the target becomes unable to wear armor or wield weapons of non-magical metal.
