A new way to avoid Will Saves? - Steely Focus

[CantripN]

This spell should be added as a means to make a Will Save with a Concentration Check! First time I'm seeing it, and while it's linked in "Free D&D", it's not mentioned anywhere else!

[spoiler]Steely Focus
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes

Steely focus allows its target to resist magical distractions more easily. In place of a Will saving throw to resist the effects of a distracting spell (one that causes the target to lose actions) such as Tasha's hideous laughter or daze, the target of this spell can substitute a Concentration check. Further, the spell grants a +4 bonus on Concentration checks, and this bonus stacks with all other bonuses. Against mundane distractions requiring a Concentration check, this spell grants only the +4 bonus.[/spoiler]

That's very good, but the fact that it only works against spells, and only works against a small subset of spells (spells that make you lose actions) is very limiting.

At high levels however, it has a very small cost. It's only a second level spell and lasts hour/level. I think this is a good find.

Hmm...

IIRC, there's some sort of flaw or double-edged feat which makes you lose your next action if you fail a save.

Wow. That's fkn amazing. This would make a great Eternal Wand.

Quick Recovery, Lords of Madness.  Gives you another save against stun or daze but takes a move action.
