This armor is made from the rubbery black hide of some finely scaled fish or eel and is slick with a thin slime.

When you activate this suit of +1 buoyant slick hide, it generates an electricity shield that lasts 5 rounds. Any creature that strikes you with a natural weapon, unarmed attack, or nonreach manufactured weapon takes 1d6 points of electricity damage. This shield can be activated three times per day.
In addition, while the electricity shield is active, you can make a melee touch attack to deal 5d6 points of electricity damage. If underwater, you can produce a lightning burst that deals 2d6 points of electricity damage to all other adjacent creatures. Using either of these abilities ends the electricity shield effect.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, freedom of movement, grease, shocking grasp.
