This spell wards the subject and creates a mystic connection between you and the subject so that some of its wounds are transferred to you. The subject gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Additionally, the subject takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks (including that dealt by special abilities) that deal hit point damage. The amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken by you. Forms of harm that do not involve hit points, such as
charm effects, temporary ability damage, level draining, and death effects, are not affected. If the subject suffers a reduction of hit points from a lowered Consititution score, the reduction is not shared by you because it is not hit point damage. When the spell ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the subject and you, but damage already split is not reassigned to the subject. If you and the subject move out of range of each other, the spell ends.
Of course I've seen this spell at work in NWN2 and it struck me that this would be a nice spell to have in V3if it were possible to script. The reason is that this is really an RP spell that also has obvious practical applications. Its not a good spell for powergaming clerics (would they volunteer to takeextra damage) but would be good for all those clerics who are along just to heal and protect the other adventurers in a party. I think the idea of using a pair of platinum rings is a good one as long as they could be bought and were non comsumable (I expect they'd be expensive
