Barkskin allows the Ranger to surround themselves with a thick layer of bark, which will absorb the next instance of a physical attack, SMRv2 maneuver, bolt spell, or warding spell that would have otherwise successfully struck them.
On attacks that would have only moderately been successful, the bark has a 50 + (Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks / 2) % chance of enduring. Moderate success is defined as a successful endroll threshold of no more than 20 + (Ranger’s Survival skill / 10).
No target of the spell may receive the benefits of Barkskin more than once per 5 minutes.

- PREP 605 | CAST or INCANT 605 to cast this spell
- PREP 605 | EVOKE to cast a group version of the spell for 15 mana, at 50 ranks of Spiritual Lore, Blessings
- INCANT 605 EVOKE to evoke this spell once using INCANT
- INCANT SET EVOKE 605 to always evoke this spell using INCANT 605
Lore Benefits
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases the chance of Barkskin enduring past the initial absorb at a rate of +1 per 2 ranks, for moderate attack successes only.
