If the recipient of this spell is unwitting or unwilling and engaged in combat, a successful attack roll is necessary to touch that being. The spell's recipient must be touched within three rounds of the spell being cast or the spell is wasted and lost.
Shield of Lathander protects a single touched creature from all damage due to purely physical means on the round after it is touched. The protected being takes full normal damage from spells and magical item discharges, but the physical component of an enchanted weapon's attack is negated. For instance, a long sword +2 striking a protected recipient of this spell would inflict only 2 points of damage (due to its magical bonus). Enchanted weapons lacking pluses cause only 1 point of damage.
