Stoneskin, Icewind Dale 1

Stoneskin IWD1

Stoneskin is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 1999, Icewind Dale 1. Stoneskin is useful because it makes us immune to raw damage for 1-4 attacks + 1 attack per two levels of the caster. It does not protect us from on-hit elemental or on-hit magical effects. Mirror Image protects against the former but not the latter.

• Stoneskin (Evocation)
• Level 4 Arcane Spells IWD
• Range: Caster
• Duration: Special
• Casting Time: 1
• Area of Effect: Caster
• Saving Throw: None
• Arguably one of the best defensive spells ever, Stoneskin makes the affected creature virtually immune to any cut, blow, projectile or the like (although spells and spell damage will still affect the creature as normal). The next 1 to 4 attacks (+1 attack/2 levels of the caster) that strike the creature will simply bounce off with no effect. Casting this spell multiple times does not have a cumulative effect.
