Stoneskin

When a wizard casts Stoneskin, an outer skin of stone will envelope his body.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
The caster applies this spell to self only.
Upon completion of the spell, the recipient will show a brief color fade and a characteristic "stoneskin' graphic effect rendered on the caster's sprite.
A text will display, reading "Stoneskin".
A player character will show an icon (No. 80) titled "Stoneskin" on their portrait, as long as there are any remaining skins active.
The spell can color the spell recipient to a uniform gray hue, as if covered by a mineral layer.
Each "skin" applied will absorb one successful attack that deals Physical damage, negating that specific attack's physical damage portion, while consuming a single skin.
If a wizard protected by Stoneskin is hit with a weapon that inflicts some sort of elemental or magical damage – such as fire – on top or exclusively, this damage component will still hurt the wizard. 
The same goes for on-hit effects from creature attacks, like the level drain from a Vampire, those still apply. 
Mirror Image, plus Protection From Magical Weapons or the Mantle spells, are good additions to Stoneskin in that regard, because they also negate all on-hit effects by affected weapons.
A spell effect or innate power that applies physical damage can also be blocked with Stoneskin, such as Bigby's Crushing Hand, an Alchemical trap, or the Wand of Whips. Other status effects applied by the spell won't be blocked by the Stoneskin, such as Hold/Paralyze or Stun. 
If an attack misses the creature protected by Stoneskin, then no interaction of the skin applies, and no skin is consumed.
This spell can be removed with any Dispel Magic effect or a Breach spell.

==Trivia==
The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition Wizard spell Stoneskin can protect against all attacks (including magic missile), and it lasts for 24-hours. This spell was updated in the High-Level Campaigns Notebook due to player exploits and confusion over spell interpretation - the notebook clarifies what counts as an attack that stoneskin can intercept.

==Mod content==
Spell Revisions mod has changed this arcane spell, revising its description. See below for description:
Stoneskin
Level: 4
School: Alteration
Range: Personal
Duration: 8 hours
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None
When a wizard casts this powerful spell upon himself, an outer skin of stone will emerge from the ground, completely covering and shielding him. This skin is, of course, magical and will hinder the wizard in no way. The effect of this is to protect the wizard from physical attacks such as melee weapons and projectiles. One skin is gained for every two levels of the caster. For example, a 10th level wizard would receive 5 skins while a 20th level wizard would receive 10. For each skin the wizard possesses, the spell will stop one attack, so a 10th level wizard would be protected from the first 5 attacks made against him, but the sixth would affect him normally. The skins will remain on the wizard until he is affected by a dispel magic, all of the skins are removed due to physical attacks, or the spell duration expires.
It is important to note that this will not protect the wizard from any area attacks (such as Fireball), and that any weapon capable of inflicting some type of elemental damage can still harm the caster - the skins will not protect against fire, cold, acid, or electrical damage, even if physical damage is blocked. Multiple castings of this spell are not cumulative.
