Stoneskin is a level 2 Earth Magic/Transmutations spell which temporarily makes the caster's skin hard as stone.
Useful Info
Stoneskin grants a temporary bonus to AC:
AC Bonus: 2 + (power/20)
Max: +7
Each casting increases Stoneskin's duration by 8 + 2d(power) turns, up to a maximum of 50.
This AC bonus stacks with Statue Form, but it can't be combined with Ozocubu's Armour. It does not work with most form spells; only Beastly Appendage, Blade Hands, and Statue Form work with Stoneskin. The undead (Ghouls, Mummies, Vampires below Full) can't use this spell.
Strategy
A weaker version of Ozocubu's Armour, without encumbrance restrictions, that doesn't melt against fire. If you can cast Stoneskin (but not Ozocubu's), it's generally worth using - either during exploration or at the start of most fights.
Note that Stoneskin will not notify you when its duration is almost over. Should you be in the middle of a pitched battle, consider casting it again when you have a spare turn to guarantee you maintain your AC bonus until the end of the fight.
History
- Stoneskin was removed in 0.18.
- Prior to 0.17, the effects of this spell were boosted while in Statue Form, using the formula 3 + ((11 * spell power)/100) (Max +14).
- Prior to 0.15, this spell's AC bonus was dependent on your Earth Magic skill, not your spell power, using the following formula:
AC Bonus: 2 + (Earth Magic/5)
Max: +7 at 25 Earth Magic
w/ Statue Form: 3 + ((9 * Earth Magic)/20)
Max: +12 at 27 Earth Magic
