Protection From Arrows (3.PF spell fix, PEACH)

[TuggyNE]

Protection from Arrows
Abjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, SF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 hour/level or until discharged
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The warded creature gains resistance to most ranged weapons. The subject gains damage reduction 10/bludgeoning or slashing against ranged weapons. Once the spell has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per caster level (maximum 100 points), it is discharged.

Simple enough fix, and makes it far more useful than DR/magic, without being impossible for a dedicated attacker to bypass (serpentstongue arrows, blunt arrows, slings, throwing axes, etc). What do you all think?

Added school focus component, linking to thread.

I feel like the damage it prevents will be a bit high very early in the game. Other than that looks good and fixes the main problem with pro arrows

Scaling is the same as standard, but unlike standard, the means of bypassing is slightly more common at lower levels (since slings and throwing axes haven't yet been completely outclassed), rather than less (since magic weapons are a bit unusual at 3rd level).
