Abilities that mimic a Barbed Devil's Barbs ability?


Advice

Sovereign Court

I've been tinkering around with a Hamatulatsu Master Monk idea, and thought it'd be cool to make the character be able to mimic the abilities of a Barbed Devil. For instance, Hamatula Strike along with Impaling Critical gives it the same thematic feel as the devil in question.

However, I don't know of many ways that can mimic the Barbs ability. Here's what I have so far:


  • Barbed Vest (Ultimate Equipment)
  • Hamatula Hide (+2 Spiked Hide armor; Ultimate Equipment)
  • Bramble Armor (6th level domain power of the Plant domain; CRB)

Any other feat/magic item/etc. that gives a similar effect?


Demonspike Pauldrons

The Bone Fists spell


The Barbarian "Fiend Totem" rage power gives a similar ability.

I guess I should have been more specific. I was looking for something that does akin to the following ability:

Barbed Devil, Barbed Defense wrote:
Barbed Defense (Su) A creature that strikes a hamatula with a melee weapon, an unarmed strike, or a natural weapon takes 1d8+6 points of piercing damage from the devil’s barbs. Melee weapons with reach do not endanger a user in this way.

Yep, that's like something I was looking for. Thanks. Of course, 6 levels of Barbarian or 8 levels of Primalist Bloodrager will be hard to do for my build...

Is there anything else?


The Thorn Body spell does pretty much what you're looking for, but only for 1 round/level.

Ah, yeah. Thorn Body is exactly what I was looking for. Pity I can't get it as a Ki power (unless I can ask really, really nicely from a GM).

Well, there's always UMD and Wands/Scrolls...
