Earthbound Crusader (Umbrin, Paladin Archetype)
Umbrin are a noble and practical race of orcs who have become one with the very soil they till and nurture.

This bonus also applies to her CMD if she or her target is touching the ground or a stone structure. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter. This ability replaces smite evil.Hard as Stone (Ex)
At 2nd level, whenever an opponent rolls to confirm a critical hit against an earthbound crusader, treats the earthbound crusader’s AC as +4 higher than normal. This ability replaces the mercy gained at 3rd level.
