Stone Body
Since Death Ward has been nerfed and divine classes no longer have access to ability damage prevention from poison or any other means, other spells that have been nerfed, such as stone body, should probably be looked at and maybe have their duration increased to help compensate. I'm not suggesting it become a super long term buff (think min/level or longer) but maybe upgrading it from round/level to 2 or 3 rds/level might help. It used to have no downside since you could cast death ward and freedom of movement and eliminate all the negatives but since that is no longer possible a slight buff would be nice. You'd still have to burn several high level spell slots to keep it up all the time and it still is subject to dispells but it would be a sacrifice if you wanted to focus on tankiness rather than offensive casting via damage spells or summoning.

Re: Stone Body
I'd rather nerf stone body because it's too powerful. I mean, you want it last longer? By all means, but add it to the breach list and that's a deal!

Re: Stone Body
Clerics and favoured souls Still have access to Undeath's Eternal Foe for ability damage immunity. That very same spell also gives complete immunity to poison. The recent changes made this spell worth investing into, after many years of being overshadowed by deathward.
Druids get passive immunity to poison att level 9. Both Druids and Spirits Shamans can use Rejuvanation Cocoon to remove any poison effects. I dont see divine casters lacking here.
Besides, the only negative effects of using stonebody is currently a -4 dexterity modifier. A small price to pay for the other benefits of the spell. In conclusion, I do not believe that we need to compensate for the recent changes.
