8th Ed. plaque of divine protection vs spells

[cwalker]

How does this thing work vs spells?

A comet of cassandora lands next to my mage priest - i have the divine plaque - do i get 2+ ward save vs the comet?

What about other spells like fireball? How about pit of shades or purple sun??

thanks!!

It works against any ranged attack that would allow a ward save. Fireball and Comet, yes. Pit of Shades and Purple Sun, no.

Typically, anything that forces a characteristic test and removes models that fail can't be guarded against.

That makes sense.

thanks for the reply!!

Does it protect against miscasts?

Does it protect against miscasts?

Nope, that is not a ranged attack.
