Barkskin enhances the recipient's armour class by 2 points lowering the likelihood of sustaining hits during combat. Additionally, owing to the robust and woody nature of the bark's construction, the spell bestows a formidable +2 bonus to saving throws where physical damage is caused, such as with many spells, breath weapon, lightning bolt and so on.
Protection against Elements
Barkskin offers a remarkable natural insulation against extreme weather conditions. While protected, the recipient causes unpleasant weather extremes to become more bearable, shifting temperature grades two steps closer to "pleasant conditions."
- For example, if faced with "frosty" weather it would feel more like a "brisk" day, as if the character were enveloped in a warm cloak that covered ever part. Similarly, "sweltering" conditions are to a more balmy and manageable state.
Dehydration
Moreover, the recipient loses bodily fluids through sweat at one half normal speed; while this may be a very minor benefit over a period of a few minutes, this might spell the difference between survival and death, if the character's forced to perform a critical action under a dangerously hot sun.
