Protecting from rituals cast at a distance
For a ritual spell cast from a distance, such as fires from afar, what could be used to protect against them?
In the specific case of fires from afar I assume that the following will help:
High protection (base?)
Fire resistance
Anything else? Magic resistance, shield parry, lucky amulet, twist of fate (via a high astral pretender and saints shrouds), armor/helmet/shield protection bonus, other?
I've been blasted by these spells quite often but I'm not really sure what helps protect against what.

Re: Protecting from rituals cast at a distance
Have you looked into the different magic dome spells? If not that's probably what you are looking for.

Domes arent the easiest thing to put up for armies on the move, unfortunately  |

Re: Protecting from rituals cast at a distance
Completely depends on the ritual.
Most things that seems like they should work will work (FR vs fire, etc.), though mind hunt seems to beat luck and twist because it's a 1-hit kill thing. Shields also don't beat seeking arrows AFAIK. Think those are the main exceptions though.

Re: Protecting from rituals cast at a distance
Seeking arrows are AN, so protection also doesn't help.

Re: Protecting from rituals cast at a distance
Stealth helps with seeking arrows I think, but that's not something you can put on an army at will unfortunately
