Skin and Flesh - Stacks and Buffs
I am tring to figure out what buffs I want to cast on some of my casters and can't fiugure out if certain spells stack or have any effect.

Consider the following test, I just did:

Oreiad A1W1N3
Begining of battle: Protection 0, Defense 9, MR 18
Got Blessed: 0,11, 18
Liquid Body: 0,11, 18 has an icon that says difficulyt to harm...How hard to harm? More than mistform or ethereal?
Temper Flesh: 0, 11, 18, No new icons that I can see. Did it have an effect?

After I do a bit of research there are also alot of "flesh" spells and alot of "skin" spells. Do they all stack? Would I be more beast if I cast, stoneskin, ironskin, and temperflesh, all on the same unit or is it a waste?

Can I cast mistform, ethereal, liquid body and have them all take effect?
Would mirror image be useful if I am already under the effects of native glamour?

Questions like these, I do ponder.

Stoneskin/ironskin/barkskin all increase base protection. They don't stack; only the highest one applies. (E.g. if you have Stoneskin on, you'll have cold vulnerability and natural Prot 15; if you then cast Ironskin, your natural Prot will go up to 20 and your cold vulnerability will vanish and be replaced by shock vulnerability, just as if you had never cast Stoneskin in the first place.)

Temper Flesh and Liquid Body are both ways of getting pierce/slash/blunt resist, which all have icons. Additionally Liquid Body reduces your strength and combat speed, and gives you affliction resistance (75% IIRC).

Mistform, Ethereal, and Liquid Body are all different effects so they all stack with each other. Mirror Image does not stack with native glamour since they are the same effect.

Temper Flesh and Liquid Body give you 50% resists to types of damage. Look for icons like hammer or spear. Liquid Body also has a blue icon, that's the affliction resist, and Temper Flesh gives 5 fire resist.

The "skins" don't stack with each other (although their downsides could stack) so the best is Ironskin. Ironskin cast on a unit with already very high natural protection ought to add 3 more.

Mistform, Ethereal, Liquid Body, Mirror Image would all stack.

The information's all spread out, though Dom4 had some decent summations. Some effects are additive (different ways of getting regen can sometimes stack), some aren't (no double-Lucky). Some stats are additive (Defense), others aren't (Protection from Skin spells), keeping in mind that Armor Value and Natural Protection are different things that kinda sorta add up to give you Protection, and that most stats have sub-stats like that if you click on them in a unit page.
