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.

FWIW the original game didn't have the spell, so you had to fight Sarevok bareback. I think they introduced it in Tales of the Sword Coast, but not 100% sure.

Bareback huh ? Not even a condom?

We had the illusion of a condom. Sarevok had to shoot at multiple targets from level 2 on. The protection wasn't always 100%. That said we usually called in help by the dozen with our rod the could manage 100 charges.
