#1 jonathanlhammer Mar 12, 2015 7:44:45	It doesn't say if it specifically gives resistance to the attack itself, or if you get resistance after the attack if finished.  It seems terrible if it's afterward, and a little too good if on the triggering attack.  How exactly does it work?
#2 mellored Mar 12, 2015 8:08:48	It applies to the triggering attack.   And it's not too good.  You still take 1/2 damage and any other effects. Compaired to evasion, shield, shield master, or even tasha's hidious laughter, which can completely negate an attack.
(Reply to #2) jonathanlhammer	That's true, however an Arcane Tricker with it is all kinda of sexy.

It triggers exactly when you want it, and you pick the element you need it for at the time.   Compare Protection from Energy - 3rd level, you have to pick your energy type beforehand, costs an action, lasts one hour (concentration).   Absorb Elements is waaaaay better. I would (almost) always choose that over the 3rd level spell. It's the kind of power creep the devs should probably avoid.   ..... but I would not call it OP. It is very strong, but it is defensive only, and does cost a 2nd level slot.

#11 Rhenny Mar 14, 2015 15:10:18	I'm a big fan of the reaction defensive spells like this one and shield.  They really fit the image of a spellcaster who can use flash magic to save his bacon. It is cinematic and adds an interesting choice during combat.  Thumbs up!
