Prickly Pear

[Minor, 3 MP]

Bony spurs or chitinous spikes protrude from your joints, giving you a jagged profile and making you dangerous to grapple.

Benefit

Your jagged spurs deal 1d4 points of piercing damage (assuming you are Medium size) and can be used exactly as if they were spiked armor. Furthermore, you deal 1d4 points of piercing damage per round to any creature that swallows you using the swallow whole ability.
