Obsidian Flesh vs Illusionary Weaponry

Does Obsidian Flesh protect agaisnt IW? The text of OF says that the person cant be the target of spells. And even though IW doesnt really target anyone, the damage is still spell related and damage is done only by targeting the person.

This may be a stupid question, but I just wanted to know.

IW targets the caster himself. IW doesn't target the enemy.

Go figure yourself.

Illusionary Weaponry is not a spell that you use against opponents. It's an enchantment you cast on yourself that simply adjusts the damage you do when you swing with attacks. (Just like Strength of Honor, for example)

Of course I've never tested it myself, but my guess is that it wouldn't protect you from that damage.

That's what I was thinking too. The only type of spell that would protect you from IW, other than breaking the enchantment, would be an opposing enchantment that reduced all recieved damage.

And it would have to be worded as such. "Recieved Damage". Since its not Physical or Elemental Damage specificallly.

Breaking the enchantment is your best bet.

cripple and run is your absolute best bet if your a warrior....which is the main target of IW builds

otherwise...just run and hit them

IW = an enchantment, it doesn't target you

If you have obsidian flesh on and run into middle of an AoE... you still get hurt...

the only thing it do about spell is that spell can't cast on you, but you are not uneffected by spell that is working currently.

IW is somewhat more complicated than that, but you're right in that Obsidian Flesh provides no protection from it.

OF only prevents enemies from targeting you with spells. Spells that aren't cast on you specifically will have their normal effect. (So not only IW, but AoE spells not centered on you, hexes that were cast on you before you put up OF, etc.)
