Steelskin

Post by Glim » Tue Jul 05, 2005 4:49 am

Syntax: cast 'steelskin'

This spell makes the skin as flexible as cloth, but as strong as steel, effectively softening crushing attacks.

Basically this would be like the dragonskin spell, but raise the resistance to bash.

This is assuming that the bash resist means against the damage type and not against the skill, I asked on question, but they werent sure.

Edit: There might be a spell of the same name already, if anyone can thing of a better name, please, your assistance would be very welcome. :)

I believe 'resist physical' is the type of resist that decreases damage from crushing attacks.

'Resist bash' makes the bash skill less sucessful.

I believe Steelskin is an alternative to Stoneskin and Barkskin. There are actually three such spells in D&D.
Barkskin - reduce a set % of damage from each attack, like 10-20% 30% tops
Stoneskin - reduce a set amount of damage
Steelskin - reduce a set amount of attacks

For FK, I think the spell would have more purpose if it improved resistance to 'physical' type attacks (i.e. crushing weapons) because there are no spells that I am aware of that increase resistance to that particular type of damage.
