Bigby's Clenched Fist
A giant hand appears and attacks the target. At each round the target will receive ((caster level / 10) + 1)d8 + 12 (maximum 5d8 + 12) pure damage, and is stunned for 1 round if a Will save is failed. Will Save: 10 + 8 (spell level) + Focus Feats (max 6) + caster ability modifier + 3 (bonus) VS Target Will Save against Spells. NOTE: if the save is passed, for that round the target won't be stunned, and the damage received will be halved. The debuff lasts for 5 + (caster level / 5) rounds. Doubled if extended.

How it works
- Each point of Bigby protection on the target's gear lowers the DC by 1.
- Each blow does 1d8, +1d8 per 10 caster levels, +12, as pure damage.
- A successful Will save halves the blow. A failed Will save stuns the target for 1 round.
- Spell resistance is checked on every blow.
Where it comes from
