The stand fi rm spell was a creation of Thrane divine warriors
to be used as a defense against Karrnath’s mighty cavalry.
All subjects of the spell gain a +4 morale bonus to Armor
Class against charge attacks, and on opposed checks for
the purpose of defending against bull rushes, grapples,
overrun attacks, and trip attacks.
The spell remains in effect on a subject (up to its
maximum duration) so long as that subject does not
move. If a subject moves, taking even so much as a 5-foot
step, it loses the spell’s benefit.
