Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 169477" data-attributes="member: 891">I presume you mean protection from arrows since there is no protection from missiles spell that I can find.Protection from arrows gives 10/+1 dr.Stone skin gives 10/+1 dr.I don't think these stack.Protection from arrows wears out after taking up to 10*cater level damage (up to 100 max).Stoneskin also wears out after it has taken 10* caster level points of damage (up to 150 max).Round 1: 2000 of your 5000 archers shoot the PC.Assume the PC has AC 20. Assume the Archers have a BAB of +0.5 (half have +1, half have +0).2 in 20 will get a 19+, half of these will have the BAB to push it to 20., 1 in 20 will get a 20, 1 in 200 will get a critical.That means the PC will likely be hit by 200 shots and a take a crit every other round.Assuming shortbows those 200 shots will do an average of 3.5*200 or 700 points of damage per round. Plus the crit that goes off every other round.In some DMs games that crit after a couple rounds might be a double 20 roll and result in an auto kill, but that's an optional rule so we'll ignore it.In round 1 the stone skin is gone, as is the protection from arrows and the PC has suffered 450 hit points of damage.Find me a PC that can survive that.Never give the enemy a lone target that you wish to keep.High level PCs make great shock troops; but not an army unto themselves.</blockquote>
