Combat:
Armadillos rely on their hard shells for defense, only using their claws as a last resort.
Defensive Ball (Ex): As a move-equivalent action, an armadillo can roll into a defensive ball. This effectively grants the armadillo improved cover (+8 AC, +4 on Reflex saves). The armadillo can remain in this position indefinitely,and normally does so until whatever danger caused it to roll up has left the area.
Skills
- In desert or overgrown terrain, armadillos have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks.
Familiar Benefits:
When taken as a familiar, an armadillo grants its master a +2 bonus to Fortitude saves or Natural Armor.
Notes:
1An armadillo’s claws are treated as secondary attacks and add only half the armadillo’s Strength bonus to the damage roll.
