|summary=Form body armor around you, or change your existing armor to something else, based on your ranks in Knowledge Arcana.
|fluff=You feel your skin harden as raised metal plates burst from your body, surrounding you in thick and protective armor.
|text=As a swift action, call forth body armor attached to your skin as if you were a warforged, taking up the body slot like normal armor.  This armor grants a +2 armor bonus, has no maximum [[Dex]], no armor check penalty, and 5% arcane spell failure.  You are not considered to be wearing armor for the purpose of class features affected by wearing armor, such as [[monk]].  If you have 6 ranks in Knowledge Arcana, and every 2 ranks beyond, you gain a +1 enhancement bonus to the armor.  For example someone with 22 ranks has an AC of +11.

If you wish when you enter this stance, you can trade out some of the enhancement bonus for special armor bonuses, though you cannot select any armor special property greater than +5,  pre-epic.  You can adjust your armor bonus selection by meditating for 1 hour, and it remains your default armor selection whenever you enter this stance until you next change it.  You must always have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before adding any special armor properties.  Any special properties which have a limited use (such as armor which resists an effect 1/day) is considered expended until it normally refreshes its uses, no matter how many seperate times you call up that individual special property.

You can also trade +2 points of enhancement bonus to change the armor to the following armor types, replacing the base armor statistics above:
*'''Mithral:''' +5 AC, Max Dex +5, -2 ACP, ASF 15%, light armor.
*'''Adamantine:'''+8 AC, Max Dex +1, -5 ACP, ASF 35%, DR 2/adamantine, heavy armor, you are slowed as normal for heavy armor.
*'''Ironwood:''' +3 AC, Max Dex +4, -3 ACP, ASF 20%, DR 2/slashing, light armor, druids can use this kind of armor without problems.

Warforged which take this stance have +2 additional AC to any armor they select.  If they have the Mithral, Adamantine, or Ironwood Body feats they begin with those types instead of the default armor granted by this stance.  This stance is a supernatural ability.
