Stone Body not giving Damage Reduction+

[Selveem]

Stone Body appears to be Iron Body from D&D. As such, there are a few things it's not taking into account:

It's supposed to automatically give:
a 50% arcane spell failure
-8 Armor Check Penalty (shouldn't stack on top of armor check penalty from armor)
cannot drink/quaff
*play wind instruments (though I think this'd be too hard to code or at least not worthwhile for now)
a 15 DR from physical damage (with exception of adamantite weapons)
immune to blindness
immune to critical hits
immune to ability score damage
immune to deafness
immune to disease
immune to drowning
immune to electricity
immune to poison
immune to stunning
immune to all spells or attacks that affect your physiology (such as polymorph and polymorph other) or respiration

Additionally, it is supposed to halve damage from acid and fire of all kinds. Your character weight should be multiplied by 10.

Your unarmed attacks deal damage equal to a club sized for you (1d4 for Small characters or 1d6 for Medium characters), and you are considered armed when making unarmed attacks.

Confirmed, in that our spell does not match Iron Body. Resistances were not in place when Stone Body was coded, so it deserves a fresh look; it does not match the helpfile spell description perfectly, either. That said, it doesn't look to be meant as a perfect match to Iron Body, it really is Stone Body, so do expect it to change, don't expect it to perfectly match Iron Body.

This one will probably be a while coming, though, as possible spell affects will need to be added/updated, I think.

Heya!

Just a heads up, there actually *is* a spell called stone body that exists seperately from iron body in FR source material (the 'Player's Guide to Faerun', so nothing obscure).

It's a sixth level wiz/sorc spell, however. Likely the source of Selveem's confusion is that our stone body spell is 8th level (which the iron body spell is also). That and iron body is mentioned in the d20 as being part of the earth domain (as our stone body is on the MUD) but stone body in the player's guide is listed as being only available to wizards.

Anyhow, stone body is not written as giving any of the myriad resistances Selveem mentioned, except for damage reduction (and it's only 10, not 15), nor a huge spell failure increase. All that's said about it in the book I'm referencing is that it acts like a stoneskin spell with a dramatically decreased duration (ten times shorter) and an augmentation of +4 to strength and -4 to dex. The spell also reduces your speed to one half normal and your weight increases by three times and it mentions that you become susceptible to special attacks that would affect stone golems (but no mention is made of acquiring special abilities of stone golems, like the ability to go without breathing, immunity to criticals, etc).

Stone Body has had its effects tweaked and its helpfile updated accordingly.
