You strengthen your astral cord, making it more difficult to sever.
Benefit: Your astral cord gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC. In addition, its hardness increases to 15, and its hit points increase to 40.
Normal: A creature projecting into the Astral Plane has a silver cord with your AC, hardness 10, and 20 hit points that connects its physical and astral forms. Damage to this cord can force the astral form back to the physical body. Severing the silver cord kills the character's physical body.
