Notes

• This feat only works if the character is wearing heavy body armour. For example, it does not apply if the character is only wearing  Grymskull Helm which counts as Heavy Armour in terms of required proficiency.

Bugs

• This feat works for all incoming physical damage (⁠Slashing, ⁠Bludgeoning, or ⁠Piercing), magical or not. Of note: it does not reduce physical self-damage dealt as a result of  Searing Blood or  The Scourge Mistress' Bane.
• This feat's ability score increase follows the priority order for capped bonuses. If uncapped bonuses have already raised the score to 20 or higher, then this feat's ability score increase is not applied.
• This feat's ability score increase applies in Wild Shape and Slayer forms.
