Alternatives to amulet of natural armor?


Advice

Scarab Sages

Curious, are there any alternatives to amulet of natural armor that grant an enchantment bonus to natural armor?

in general ideas to increase AC while in a polymorphed shape would probably be helpful.


The spell Barkskin is a good option. Potion, wand, whatever.

Scarab Sages

Fair options but none of which gives a permanet bonus like the amulet


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If you are a dwarf or half-orc you can take ironhide feat for +1 natural AC.

Although I don't know if that would work while polymorphed.

Mainly, the spell barkskin. But there are also some similar items: belt of the snake king, cloak of the crusader, fetish of natural armor, ring of the beast, scale of the mariner.

Spells like mage armor, shield, and shield of faith can be useful, as can standard items like a ring of protection and dusty rose prism ioun stone. But the biggest help would be actual armor; what sort of polymorph effect is it? If it has a long duration, you should just have a set of nonhumanoid armor made and get your party to help you put it on after transforming.

The one in question is bloodraging into form of the dragon 2, so unfortunately i don't think actual armor would work.

I will take a look at the items you mentioned(Mage armor I had in mind)

Edit: I could find the other items, but by any chance do you have a link to "scale of the mariner." ?


Scale of the Mariner

Yeah, short duration polymorphs are more tricky. Depending on your level and Dex score, you might want to see if a familiar in the party can use a wand of swift girding.

What about alternative ways to get enchantment bonuses to all of my attacks in form of the dragon?

If I can't find a permanent bonus to replace amulet of natural armor, perhaps I'll have more luck finding one to replace amulet of mighty fists.
Is thre a way to get a bonus from 2 amulets at the same time,? Like how theres an amulet that makes you able to use 3 rings?

Scarab Sages

You could rely on greater magic fang if you have a druid friend, but nothing is going to be able to enhance all of your natural weapons like the amulet.

You can add natural armor to an existing Amulet of Mighty fists. The enchantment would cost 50% extra.

If the item is one that occupies a specific place on a character's body, the cost of adding any additional ability to that item increases by 50%. For example, if a character adds the power to confer invisibility to her ring of protection 2, the cost of adding this ability is the same as for creating a ring of invisibility multiplied by 1.5.

If your GM allows custom items, yes.

Bottled Yeti Fur. :p it's a 24-hr +2 NA AC bonus.

If Technology Guide material is in play, you could install Dermal Plating for the natural armor bonus.
