Prerequisite: Requires a Strength score of 13 or higher
Some people need weapons and armor to be fatal foes. Your body, though, is weapon and armor enough. You gain the following benefits:
- Choose an ability other than Dexterity. While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your chosen ability modifier.
- Your body is a natural weapon with which you are proficient, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with a part of your body, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. If you strike with two free hands, the d6 becomes a d8.
- You can use Dexterity or your chosen ability modifier instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.
