When this spell is cast, the result is a globe of shimmering force that encloses the subject creature-if it fails to successfully save vs. spell.  The resilient sphere will contain its subject for the duration of the spell.  The sphere is completely immune to all damage.  Actually, the only method of removing the sphere is a successful dispel magic.  Hence the creature caught inside the globe is completely safe from all attacks, but at the same time is completely unable to affect the outside world.

◦ Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (Alteration, SCRL5J): A cheesy ward in all RPGs it is found in. Single-target ward that protects the recipient from any form of damage for one round per caster level. That means the aggro just whales away upon the Otiluke'd combatant while the rest of the party picks them apart from safe distance. Can be brought down by Dispel Magic. Fists bypass ORS. Thus, powerful enemies like Shandalar can be ORS'd and then punched out.

Rank: Cheese.
