Hand of Fate

This spell is a special blessing from the priest's deity upon an individual or creature the priest believes threatened. When the creature would otherwise die, a translucent hand appears to save him. A blow that would strike down the recipient misses, an object falls to block a gout of dragon's breath, and so on. The hand of fale intervenes only after all attack rolls and saving throws are resolved, and death (not just incapacitation) must have been the outcome or the spell is not released. A creature can be affected by only one hand of fate at any given time. The maximum duration of the spell is one hour, plus one hour per level of the casting priest.
