Let's see, PfME, PfFire, PfCold, PfElectricity, PfAcid, Stoneskin, PfMW, wearing the Ring of Gaxx or Periaph of Proof against poison. That pretty much covers physical, elemental and magical unless I forgot something. So if I had the choice of sending in someone to tank who could be buffed under all of those(Haer'Dalis) or someone who could not(Korgan), guess who I'm picking? [/QUOTE]Why can't those same spells be cast on Korgan? I'm pretty sure almost all of those allow the caster to choose the recipient. [/QUOTE]not the two most important ones -- Stoneskin and PfMW.
That's what differentiates pure, single class fighter (higher HP) and spellcaster/multi-class (lower HP) type of characters...Spellcaster gets to have more unique defense buffs. This is probably one of the main reasons that Kenasi-> Mage is one the most popular PC types. In ToB, fighters can cast Stoneskin on themselves with an item.
