Shaggy black fur, like that of a great bear, covers this metal breastplate.
While wearing this +1 breastplate, you gain a +2 competence bonus on grapple checks. In addition, the armor has three special properties.
Once per day, you can activate the armor to gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution for 9 minutes.
Two times per day, you can activate the armor to gain the scent special quality (MM 314) for 5 rounds.
Three times per day on command, the armor allows you to sprout a pair of claws. These claws deal 1d6 points of damage each (assuming you are Medium) and extend your natural reach by 5 feet. You can attack with both claws as though they were primary natural weapons. Alternatively, you can use a single claw to make an attack as a natural secondary weapon (–5 on the attack roll, no effect on your other attacks). These claws last for 5 rounds.
The special properties of a suit of bear skin armor function normally while you are in wild shape (although it does not grant its armor bonus to AC).
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, bear’s endurance, wild shape.
Cost to Create: 7,000 gp (plus 350 gp for base item), 560 XP, 14 days.
