User manual GAMES PC CHUTES AND LADDERS

[. . . ] "Touch" means the caster can use the spell on others if he can physically touch them (that is, score a successful to hit roll). Beneficial spells require no to-hit roll. Note that touch-based spells and effects ignore armor bonuses to armor class for the purposes of scoring a hit. Duration: This lists how long the magical energy of the spell lasts. [. . . ] Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or his gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible, items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the wizard or recipient cancels it, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until the duration has expired. Thus the invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc. , but if he attacks, he immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables him to attack first. IRON BODY (TRANSMUTATION) Level: Sor/Wiz 8, Helm 8 Duration: 10 rounds/level Area of Effect: Caster Range: Caster Casting Time: 8 Saving Throw: None This spell transforms the caster's body into living iron, granting him several powerful resistances and abilities. While the spell is in effect, the caster has a 50/+3 damage reduction, takes half damage from fire and acid, and is immune to electricity. Spells that affect respiration or the physiology of the caster are ignored completely, such as poison, blindness, deafness, and disease to name a few. In addition, the caster gains a +6 strength bonus, a -6 dexterity penalty, and the caster can attack with iron fists for 1d6 crushing damage + strength bonuses. Unfortunately, the caster's movement becomes slow and awkward under the weight of his new body, setting his movement rate to half its normal rate, and he receives an 80% chance to fail at casting spells. IRON SKINS (TRANSMUTATION) Level: Clr 5, Rgr 5 Duration: 8 hours Area of Effect: Caster Range: Caster Casting Time: 1 round Saving Throw: None This spell provides the caster with a damage reduction of 10/- to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

It shoots darts of pure energy out from the caster's body in all directions, harming friend and foe alike.
