+Barkskin also provides the recipient with the invaluable benefit of conserving bodily fluids. The rate of fluid loss through sweat is reduced to just half the normal speed. While this might seem like a minor advantage in the short term, it can make all the difference when a character is forced to undertake a critical action under the scorching sun, potentially tipping the balance between survival and perilous dehydration.
