__NOTOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Barkskin''' allows</noinclude><includeonly>Allows</includeonly> the Ranger to surround themselves with a thick layer of bark, which will absorb the next instance of a physical [[attack]], [[SMRv2|SMRv2 maneuver]], [[bolt]] spell, or [[warding]] spell that would have otherwise successfully struck them.<section end=description />

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 + ([[Survival]] skill / 10)'''.

Barkskin has a five minute character-specific cooldown after successfully absorbing an effect during which that character may not gain Barkskin again.

{{Usage-evoke-self|s=605|d=to cast a [[group]] version of the spell for 15 mana, at 50 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]}}
== 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.

Additionally, at 15 Blessings lore ranks, the Ranger may {{boldmono|COMMUNE}} with nature to cast the spell while incapacitated (but not while in [[roundtime]]) once per hour.

At 50 Blessings lore ranks, the Ranger may {{boldmono|[[EVOKE]]}} the spell to affect the Ranger’s entire group for 15 [[mana]].
