[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 4019660, member: 149"] Well Prot Arrows isn't supposed to make you immune to medium-high cr threats. It's to protect you against the 300 archers shooting at you with normal arrows. Since you are talking about a new spell (to make into a potion), let's look at what else is already here. The obvious follow on is Stoneskin at 4th lvl which gives you DR10/adamatine. So one that only protected against arrows with the same DR, should be about a level or two lower. Which would be 3rd since the Prot Arrows is second. Now Stoneskin's main prevention against abuse is the cost 500, gp in diamond dust per use. If you didn't want to have a cost like that, I would probably bump it up to 4th, since you are avoiding the main limitation on Stoneskin. Knocking the cost to use it down to say 250gp in diamond dust, would seem reasonable for keeping the spell at 3rd. As far as multiple variations on DR/whatever, I would be leery of permitting DR/Silver/Col Iron/Misletoe, simply because it can give the players (or NPCs) a massive advantage. I'd say pick one and that's it. Yeah this probably should be in house rules though. But I don't think it's doing any harm here. [/QUOTE]
