simple: as the title says:
I wanna know spells that give high Damage Reduction (from 10 and up), and last rounds, min, or hours.

this leaves out spells like stoneskin, that gives you a duration equal to certain amount of hit points.


thx folks.

Well, there is an Artificer infusion, called Stone Construct, which gives DR 10/admantine. Not very useful unless your a warforged or something, but it's there.

There's favorable sacrifice, but it costs a whole lot of cash. Which means it's only really useful as a supernatural or spell-like.

My favorite, if you can get around the material component (ie, casting levels from racial HD):

FAVORABLE SACRIFICE (Spell Comp pg 88)
Abjuration
Level: Cleric 3
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
..The gems vaporize in your hand as you intone the spell. The rising vapors surround your ally, granting him the blessing of your beliefs.
..The subject receives the protection of a divine power commensurate with the value of the expended material component. Only one of the benefits described below applies per casting of this spell; they do not stack.
..By expending 250 gp, you grant the subject damage reduction 5/magic; resistance to acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic 10; and spell resistance equal to your caster level.
..By expending 1,000 gp, you grant the subject damage reduction 10/magic; resistance to acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic 15; and spell resistance equal to your caster level +5.
..By expending 10,000 gp, you grant the subject damage reduction 20/magic; resistance to acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic 20; and spell resistance equal to your caster level +10.
Material Component: Gems worth a total of 250 gp, 1,000 gp, or 10,000 gp.

edit: I need to learn how to do tables, etc, on these boards...

edit 2: http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndLive/FindSpell.php for nifty searches...this was just from looking for everything with 'reduction' somewhere in its description.

edit 3: Cool, thanks for showing me how to do these Keld Denar :smallbiggrin:

Table coding is:

[ table=head]X|Y|Z
X1|Y1|Z1
X2|Y2|Z2
X3|Y3|Z3
[/table]

Easy peasy.

{table=head]X|Y|Z
X1|Y1|Z1
X2|Y2|Z2
X3|Y3|Z3
[/table]

About Favorable Sacrifice...

how does DR/magic works?
I mean, that means that only magic spells could overcome it right?
a +1 dagger isnt "magic"... or..is it? :smalleek:

DR only works against physical attacks (not spells).

a +1 dagger is magic.

Any magical weapon penetrates it; so yes, +1 Dagger and most monsters with DR/Magic do (there's a clause in their natural weapons that they count as Magic to overcome DR).
