[QUOTE="Uller, post: 37528, member: 413"] [b]Re: Re: FAQ[/b] I have yet to see an "official" errata or clarification of the spell that takes away the +3 ref save or the AoO protection. The Sage said no AoO protection from the spell, mentioned specifically that you get +7 bonus to AC, but never mentioned whether or not you get the +3 bonus to Ref Saves versus area effect spells. I take the sage as semi-official advice and I agree that negating AoOs seems a bit much. Clearly the spell was intended to give a +7 cover bonus to AC. The +3 save bonus is specifically mentioned in the spell description, so as far as I'm concerned, the spell gives a +7 cover bonus to AC, a +3 cover bonus to Ref saves and nothing more. (which falls right in line with "When in doubt, if the spell description doesn't SAY that a spell does something, then it probably doesn't"). A +3 ref save bonus makes the spell a cool way for wizards to protect themselves from area effect spells. I can't think of any other spell that also does this, so why not? It doesn't seem unbalancing to me. [/QUOTE]
