Benefit You gain a +1 natural armor bonus to Armor Class, or your existing natural armor bonus increases by 1.
Special You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

How Armor Skin Works

Armor Skin increases natural armor by +1. If the character has no natural armor bonus, the feat grants one; if a natural armor bonus already exists, that bonus increases by 1. Because the feat can be taken more than once, each additional selection adds another +1.

Armor Skin Example

An epic character with no natural armor takes Armor Skin and gains +1 natural armor to Armor Class. If the same character later takes Armor Skin again, the natural armor bonus becomes +2. A creature that already had +5 natural armor would instead increase to +6 after one selection.

What the Feat Does Not Change

Armor Skin improves the natural armor component of Armor Class. It does not increase touch Armor Class, and it does not replace armor, shield, Dexterity or dodge bonuses. Its value is the permanent, stacking increase to a defensive statistic epic characters use in every physical attack.
