Catus Leshy

[Gortle]

The new ancestries are very good. But I find myself wanting a real Cactus feel for the Cactus Leshy

This is the Cactus heritage Spines cover your body. You gain a spine unarmed attack that deals 1d6 piercing damage Your spines are in the brawling group and have the finesse and unarmed traits.

Add in a Ancestry Feat 1

Spines cover your body. Anyone who attacks you with an unarmed melee attack, must make a DC 10 flat check or suffer 1d6 damage from your spines.

Note that this includes shoves and grabs. Its not particularily powerful as the DC is mid range and it doesn't scale, but it is there for flavour.

I thought of something along those lines too, but was considering doing it with a reaction instead. Something like an Attack of Opportunity, but limited to reacting to grabs and unarmed contact. I was considering level 5 for it.
