12-14-06, 10:03 PM If you're willing to look into 3rd party sources, Bastion Press as dermal armor. It's a potion that provides varying levels of natural armor (+1 to +6 I believe) as well as providing an enhancement bonus on top of it (+1 to +5, but typical anti-magic negates it). It's permanent but expensive. It also nails the character with a permanent Arcane Spell Failure rate (5% I believe).

The Chitin Plates grants you a natural bonus to AC that stacks with enhancement bonuses to natural armor.
It doesn't work if the base creature has natural armor though.
