Summary

We crack open the Stoneskin spell... first seen in Dragon Magazine, then polished up for Unearthed Arcana. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. What does “a single attack sequence” even mean? Is it one swing, one volley, one round? Does a monk’s flurry count as one or many? Does falling count as an attack? We talk about how DMs have handled it, what makes sense at the table, and when to step in with pure DM fiat. If you’ve ever had a fighter shrug off a fire giant’s club like it was a slap, this one’s for you.#adnd #ADnDSpells #Unearthed
