Armad are exceptionally stable on their feet. An armad has a +4 bonus on checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).

When he adopts a defensive stance, an armad gains phenomenal accuracy and durability. While he is in this stance, he gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls, a +2 resistance bonus on all saves, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. He may not move more than 5 feet per round, or his defensive stance ends immediately.

The defensive stance lasts a number of rounds equal to 3 + the armad’s Constitution modifier. An armad may end his defensive stance at any time voluntarily prior to this limit.

Using defensive stance is normally a free action that he can do only on his turn, but an armad can also choose to activate it as an immediate action on his opponent’s turn. If he does, the duration is reduced by 1 round. An armad may use this ability a number of times per day equal to his Con bonus (minimum 1).

At 1st and again at 2nd level, your Constitution score increases by 1. This is a racial bonus.

You gain two claw attacks which deal 1d3 damage. You can attack with a weapon and a claw attack as a secondary attack.

An armad has a tough, leathery armor shell that covers its back, upper arms and legs, and the top of its skull. At 1st level, you gain a +1 natural armor bonus. At 2nd level, the bonus increases to +2.

You gain the Defensive Stance ability described above.
