Proposal: Formicid innate abilite "Insect Meat Shields"

[tedric]

At level 12, Formicids gain the innate ability, "Insect Meat Shield." Costs 40 food. Adds an insect corpse to a literal meat shield, carried on the player's own abdomen. Each corpse adds +2 move_delay in exchange for temporary +1 AC, which expires after the player has blocked damage equal to the HP of the zombie form of that corpse. The max number of corpses that can be active at one time as meat shields starts at 1, and goes up one for every 3 XL above 12 (6 shields at a time at XL 27).

Because assassin bug.

Clearly, one should play FoFi^Chei with Maxwell's and maximum meatshielding, using nothing but sheer invincibility and Slouch.

it would take 2 and a half years to move from a monster to another in a fight.
