Stone Skin
Stone Skin makes a unique monster hard to hurt with weapons: it resists half of all physical damage and its defense doubles, so you also miss more.
What Stone Skin does
- +50% physical resistance, which can make it physical immune under the same rules as Magic Resistant.
- Its base defense doubles before any other defense bonus applies.
- Its minions don't get the resistance.

Amplify Damage and 
Decrepify cancel the resistance; the defense is handled by Ignore Target's Defense on its minions only.- Elemental damage ignores Stone Skin entirely.
Which monsters get it
Every modifier a unique monster rolls is drawn from the same pool, so each roll has the chance below of being Stone Skin. See how special monsters get their modifiers.
| Normal | Nightmare | Hell |
|---|---|---|
| 8.3% | 7.7% | 7.7% |
- Its minions get neither the physical resistance nor the doubled defense.
