Hamatula Hide and Fiend Totem Rage powers.

[stuart haffenden]

Fiend Totem grants...

"While raging, the barbarian sprouts dozens of wicked barbs from her body. Anyone striking the barbarian with a melee weapon, an unarmed strike, or a natural weapon takes 1d6 points of piercing damage"

The armour grants...

"Any creature that strikes the wearer with a melee weapon, unarmed
strike, or a natural weapon while the spikes are elongated
takes 1d8+6 points of piercing damage from the armor’s
barbs (unless using a weapon with reach)"

then goes on to say...

"If she (the wearer) has the fiend totem rage power,
the damage caused by her barbs increases to 2d8+6 and
stacks with the barbed defense granted by the armor"

So does that mean with both anyone hitting you takes 3d8+12?

[stuart haffenden]

Anyone?

[blackbloodtroll]

Seems to be a "instead of" aspect.

[Jadeite]

I'd say 3d8+12 since it stacks.

Where is Hamatula Hide from?

Thanks. Found it.

A friend pointed out this might endanger the rest of the party! Some monsters might bypass you after seeing what happened to the last thing that hit you!

[Jadeite]

The same could be said about any defensive ability. Barbarians aren't tanks.

My AC will be around 16 Raging!

You're right, I think one hit will be enough as the armour damage will be followed swiftly by my full attack! [Tengu: Gore, Bite, Claw, Claw - usually followed by a thumping sound as the monster hits the floor! lol]
