• "It's a new kind of barrier spell. It will absorb vit damage rather than wounds, though exactly how this ends up working is TBD. Since it's not released yet, it may still end up being significantly changed from the way I've outlined it here, so please take that into account. . . . It will only absorb damage that happens in combat, just like the standard damage barriers. So it won't work for vit hits that you get through transferring vitality, bleeding, exploding boxes, etc." --GM Melete
