Sharkskin Armor

The sharp scales that make up your skin grow as tough as chain, and become so rough that they can draw blood. You must be a Sharkfolk to take this feat.  You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You have natural armor. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
• Whenever you successfully grapple another creature or are yourself grappled, you can choose to deal 1d4 slashing damage to the other creature.

This feat is intended to be used with the Sharkfolk (Carchari) homebrew race from The Arcane Athenæum.
