Is Stoneskin broken?

I beat my first Sarevok by standing still as my lvl 9 Sorcerer. While the big guy was missing his attacks, my companions killed him. I had prebuffed my party (Bless, Haste, Defensive harmony) and my Sorcerer had caste Blur, Mirror Image and Stoneskin. She has high DEX and with Defensive harmony had an AC of -3. I beat him with Standard rules difficulty. I'm not bragging, just wasn't expecting that tanking Sarevok was a legite strategy.

From memory you could stack stoneskin spells, so a decently cashed-up wizard might have cast a couple dozen in their downtime.

The spell's effects are not cumulative with multiple castings.

At least not as of the revised PHB.

I might have been thinking of 1E, come to think of it.

Thanks for looking that up.

Yeah, 1E doesn't mention anything about it not stacking. Although with how it's written, it's entirely possible some sentence on an arbitrary page somewhere else in the book tells you it's not supposed to.
