With this Ability your Character makes their skin tougher and thicker than normal, protecting them from Physical Damage. Your Character spends a Primary and Secondary action to Activate the ability and makes a Charisma Check. For each Success, the Character's Physical Defense is increased by one for one hour or until the end of the next Encounter, whichever comes first. The Character may make subsequent Checks, and each Success adds to their Physical Defense to a maximum of twice the Character’s Charisma.

If your Character gets a Critical Failure when activating this ability, they lose all but one point of Soul and will be unable to attempt to use Skin of the Armadillo again until they have completed a Long Rest.
