Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast, the affected creature gains a virtual immunity to any attack by cut, blow, projectile, or the like. Even a sword of sharpness cannot affect a creature protected by stoneskin, nor can a rock hurled by a giant, a snake’s strike, etc. However, magical attacks from such spells as fireball, magic missle, lightning bolt, and so forth have their normal effects. The spell’s effects are not cumulative with multiple castings.

The spell blocks 1d4 attacks, plus one attack per two levels of experience the caster has achieved. This limit applies regardless of attack rolls and regardless of whether the attack was physical or magical. For example, a stoneskin spell cast by a 9th level wizard would protect against from five to eight attacks. An attacking griffon would reduce the protection by 3 each round; 4 magic missles would count as 4 attacks in addition to inflicting their normal damage. The material components of the spell are granite and diamond dust sprinkled on the recipient’s skin.
