This spell behaves like Heavy Armor, but stealth checks are unaffected by it. The touched one's skin becomes bark-like for the duration as though in weightless magical bark which gives his body AC 16 as if wearing Chain Mail made of special bark. Dexterity does not affect that. These all stack with this spell's protection: use of a Shield, the Defense Fighting Style, the Defensive Duelist feat, the Dual Wielder feat, and any new feat which lets one use a Polearm (for example by improving Polearm Master) to gain a +1 bonus to AC from blocking similar to that granted by Dual Wielder. The Shield Spell temporarily increases one's overall AC by five.
At Higher Levels. Using a 3rd level spell slot or higher changes the casting time to a bonus action and the duration to one's caster level divided by two. Using a 4th level spell slot or higher eliminates the need for concentration. Using a 5th level spell slot changes the duration to one hour per caster level in addition to the foregoing.
