Shield of Fortification
School abjuration; Level cleric 2, inquisitor 1, paladin 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
You create a magical barrier that protects a target's vital areas. When the target is struck by a critical hit or a sneak attack, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. This benefit does not stack with other effects that can turn critical hits or sneak attacks into normal attacks, such as the fortification armor special ability.
Shield of Fortification, Greater
School abjuration; Level cleric 4, inquisitor 3, paladin 3
This spell functions as shield of fortification, except there is a 50% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally
