Natural Spiked Armor

Due to your shell and the shape of your body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your shell provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 20 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.

Spiked Shell Defense

You can withdraw into your shell as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +5 bonus to AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your shell, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can't increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can't take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to emerge from your shell,

•or you can charge at enemies as bonus action and use the spike and momentum to deal (2d6+str modifier) of bulgeoning dmg, its doubles your speed and knocks enemies prone infront of the charge, you can only use this once per short rest.
