Stay The Hand

Description

subject cannot attack with melee weapon.

you cause a creature's arm to waver and prevent it from striking another creature. you can cast this spell when the target is about to make a melee attack against another creature. on a failed saving throw, the target does not follow through with its attack, and its entire action is wasted for the round. on a successful saving throw, the target can make its attack, forcing its strike though the compulsion but losing both accuracy and power, taking a –5 penalty on its attack and damage rolls. whether or not the target makes its initial save or not, it is subject to a –2 penalty on attack and damage rolls against the creature it originally targeted for the duration of the spell.
