Hardiness is a High-level class ability available to fighters, paladins, rangers, and monks.
Description[]

Gameplay[]
- Increase the current physical resistance value by 40% for a duration up to 90 seconds. Stacks with Defender of Easthaven and Armor of Faith.
- Cannot be dispelled
- In classic games, Hardiness stacks with itself, allowing warrior classes to gain 127% physical resistance, making them immune to physical damage and instead gain health from being attacked by physical attacks. In Enhanced Editions the method doesn't work as hardiness effects don't stack when they come from the same character. However, hardiness from Wish from different caster does stack up to 100% damage reduction.
- Hardiness stacks with the Shadowdancer's Shadow Form for a combined 90% physical resistance (which can be combined with the Defender of Easthaven for 110%).
