Sarius' Golden Triangles of Protection
(Evocation)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 turn + 1 round per level
Casting Time:  4
Area of Effect:  One floating 2-foot high triangular plate per level
Saving Throw:  None

This spell creates golden, shimmering triangular plates of force which move around the wizard in a constant motion, deflecting any missile, hand, or weapon attacks directed at the wizard. The Armour Class of the wizard is improved by one for every three triangles still active and any successful physical melee attack (including boulders, ballista, or attack forms similar to dragon's belly flop manoeuvre) will be deflected automatically. Deflected creatures of large-size (or higher) who are deflected must still land somewhere, possibly injuring friend or foe. Non-missile attacks by creatures with an effective Strength of 23 or greater require a saving throw versus breath weapons to deflect.
Each triangle is able to sustain 8 hit points of damage before disrupting, so if a deflected attack does not cause enough damage to disrupt a triangle (chosen randomly) the triangle will remain active. For every 5 triangles active, the effects of breath weapons directed at the wizard will be reduced by 1 hit point per damage die, with total protection from breath attacks becoming a possibility, though, unless the breath weapon causes less damage than the current hit points of a triangle it will assuredly disrupt the entire field of triangles in the process.
While the triangles orbit the wizard he is at a -1 to-hit penalty for every triangle active whenever a to-hit roll is needed, including spells. The wizard may create fewer triangles than the maximum possible. The material component of this spell is a single gold piece for every triangle created. All pieces are thrown into the air where they disappear and are replaced by the floating triangles.
