Class Features
All of the following are class features of the tortoise folk paragon.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Tortoise folk paragons are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with light, medium, and heavy armor, and with shields (but not with tower shields).
Powerful Lineage (Ex): Tortoise folk paragons have powerful traits from deep within their lineage. They gain an additional racial ability from the list of racial abilities they chose at character creation (such as snapper).
Steely Carapace (Ex): Tortoise folk paragons have a shell so strong that its outermost area is as strong as steel. A tortoise folk paragon can have their shell count as a metal armor of their choice. Once chosen, this descision cannot be changed. The shell can be enchanted like normal magic armor, but it does not count as carried weight by the tortoise. The material defaults as masterwork steel, but it can spend the cost difference of another material to treat his shell with magical oils that make it behave like the other material (so he could pay for it to act like mithral armor by paying 1,000 gp, 4,000 gp, or 9,000 gp depending on the type of armor he chose his shell to act as).
Furthermore, when the tortoise folk reaches 5 HD, he can have his shell enchanted with the light fortification property for free. If he has any other special abilities enchanted on his shell, he must pay the cost difference as if fortification was enchanted on the shell first. For example, Donatello, the 3rd level Tortoise Folk Paragon/1st level Ninja has enchanted his shell to +1 Spell Resistance (13), which costs a total of 9000 gold. He can add the light fortification property, but it costs 4,000 gp ((16,000 - 9,000) + (4,000 - 1,000)).
Furthermore, when the tortoise folk reaches 10 HD, he can have his shell enchanted with the moderate fortification property for free, replacing light fortification.
when the tortoise folk reaches 15 HD, he can have his shell enchanted with the heavy fortification property for free, replacing moderate fortification.
Ability Boost (Ex): Tortoise folk paragons are extremely resilient and increase their Constitution score by 2.
