Flavor

An invisible sheath of force settles over the target like a second skin, turning aside blows that would otherwise land.

Mechanics

Grants the recipient a base of 6 (no or shield bonuses unless better; does not stack with worn armor). The field absorbs no —it only sets AC—and is dispelled once the wearer takes cumulative damage greater than 8 + 1/ of the caster, or by dispel magic. Range touch, 1 creature, duration special (until dispelled/overcome). : a piece of finely cured leather blessed by a priest.
