I wasn't aware Astral Shield actually prevented physical attacks from striking you. I thought it merely tacked on large amounts of fatigue to somebody that attacks you, until they pass out and get stuck there. Makes them a tasty snack while it Lasts, unless everyone becomes paralyzed and then your god is autokilled by a stalled battle.

Page 103 states that the attacker has to pass a MR check to hurt you. Failure to pass means that you take no damage, and that the attacker becomes paralyzed (via mind bLast), if I read the spell correctly. The MR check is made tougher if the caster's astral level exceeds the casting minimum.

My observation of replays shows that most attackers become snacksicles.
