You're just as lazy as I am.
Is spell resistance rolled once per spell, or once per enemy?
It is more that the documentation on the homebrew section is a b&%&& to use. And the tutorials are crap
Spell resistance is once per spell per enemy. Technically once that enemy either saves, or is affected by a spell, they will always be immune or always affected
Spell Resistance
Spell resistance (abbreviated SR) is the extraordinary ability to avoid being affected by spells. Some spells also grant spell resistance.
To affect a creature that has spell resistance, a spellcaster must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) at least equal to the creature's spell resistance. The defender's spell resistance is like an Armor Class against magical attacks. If the caster fails the check, the spell doesn't affect the creature. The possessor does not have to do anything special to use spell resistance. The creature need not even be aware of the threat for its spell resistance to operate.
Only spells and spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance. Extraordinary and supernatural abilities (including enhancement bonuses on magic weapons) are not. A creature can have some abilities that are subject to spell resistance and some that are not. Even some spells ignore spell resistance; see When Spell Resistance Applies, below.
A creature can voluntarily lower its spell resistance. Doing so is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Once a creature lowers its resistance, it remains down until the creature's next turn. At the beginning of the creature's next turn, the creature's spell resistance automatically returns unless the creature intentionally keeps it down (also a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity).
A creature's spell resistance never interferes with its own spells, items, or abilities.
A creature with spell resistance cannot impart this power to others by touching them or standing in their midst. Only the rarest of creatures and a few magic items have the ability to bestow spell resistance upon another.
Spell resistance does not stack, but rather overlaps.
When Spell Resistance Applies
Each spell includes an entry that indicates whether spell resistance applies to the spell. In general, whether spell resistance applies depends on what the spell does.
Targeted Spells
Spell resistance applies if the spell is targeted at the creature. Some individually targeted spells can be directed at several creatures simultaneously. In such cases, a creature's spell resistance applies only to the portion of the spell actually targeted at that creature. If several different resistant creatures are subjected to such a spell, each checks its spell resistance separately.
Area Spells
Spell resistance applies if the resistant creature is within the spell's area. It protects the resistant creature without affecting the spell itself.
Effect Spells
Most effect spells summon or create something and are not subject to spell resistance. Sometimes, however, spell resistance applies to effect spells, usually to those that act upon a creature more or less directly, such as web.
Spell resistance can protect a creature from a spell that's already been cast. Check spell resistance when the creature is first affected by the spell.
Check spell resistance only once for any particular casting of a spell or use of a spell-like ability. If spell resistance fails the first time, it fails each time the creature encounters that same casting of the spell. Likewise, if the spell resistance succeeds the first time, it always succeeds. If the creature has voluntarily lowered its spell resistance and is then subjected to a spell, the creature still has a single chance to resist that spell later, when its spell resistance is back up.
Spell resistance has no effect unless the energy created or released by the spell actually goes to work on the resistant creature's mind or body. If the spell acts on anything else and the creature is affected as a consequence, no roll is required. Spell-resistant creatures can be harmed by a spell when they are not being directly affected.
Spell resistance does not apply if an effect fools the creature's senses or reveals something about the creature.
Magic actually has to be working for spell resistance to apply. Spells that have instantaneous durations but lasting results aren't subject to spell resistance unless the resistant creature is exposed to the spell the instant it is cast.
Successful Spell Resistance
Spell resistance prevents a spell or a spell-like ability from affecting or harming the resistant creature, but it never removes a magical effect from another creature or negates a spell's effect on another creature. Spell resistance prevents a spell from disrupting another spell.
Against an ongoing spell that has already been cast, a failed check against spell resistance allows the resistant creature to ignore any effect the spell might have. The magic continues to affect others normally.
That is a lot of text for a simple two options question. So what is it? Roll once, or roll for every target separately?
I would assume 1 roll per creature.
I misunderstood the question a bit.
It is more that the documentation on the homebrew section is a b$*&& to use. And the tutorials are crap
I tried to insert it in the ARG but it didn't work like I thought it would and made a copy of human with just changed attribute modifiers in the CRB then.
Busy lvl 8ing Jimmy, properly
I thought so.
I am completely recreating him with the proper race and such. Having to redo skills and everything
Recreated, and all is Well
I didn't get anything done. Besides the beef steak and the roast potatoes :)
But today I have to go to bed rather early (considering it to be friday) as I have my first day in school tomorrow.
School?
Yep. My school for learning cleric skills :)
good night.
Good night
Morning
Good evening.
How are you
A mix of great and sad.
I'm going for a walk.
I'll be back in 15 Minutes.
What went wrong?
I had a great day at school. Yay!
And after that I visited an almost 90 year old friend of mine in the hospital. I came just in time to feed him his dessert. Because he can't do that alone anymore without pouring half of it over himself. That's sad.
Indeed it is. I know the feeling.
My grandad had alzheimers before he developed multiple other issues and passed.
I'm doing my witch update. Suggestions for two new spells?
Greater assume appearance :P
I am going to buy that for her later
what are the options?
That is the problem. I have no idea.
Icestom, Phantasmal Killer, the usual stuff. But nothing of that matches Gwen. Take a look at the witch spell list and see if there is something more interesting.
Black spot
Anti-Incorporeal Shell
4th level spells yeah?
Blast Barrier
Celestial Healing, Greater
Conditional Curse
Death Ward
Conjuration Foil
Divination
Fear
Geas, Lesser
Innocuous Shape
Mirror Transport
Persistent Vigor
Secure Shelter
Skeleton Crew - cool- but not gwen
They Know - Very thematic and roleplay cool
Tongues, Communal
Triggered Suggestion
Unbearable Brightness
That is all I can see that seems cool
Where did you find the celestial healing? I can't find it on the spell list index.
Persistent Vigor would be my first choice if the range wasn't personal.
However the crappy bit is that it is only fast healing 4 for 4 rounds so 16 hp.
Kinda crappy
Infernal greater is 40 hp so is better than double. But is also evil. There is also CSW
I personally would houserule celestial healing to be the same as infernal in terms of duration.
Hallucinogenic Smoke
I can't decide. Probably I'll take secure shelter. That is really nice to have a place to sleep in the wilderness.
Agreed
4th level spells are not really good with all classes I have. Even Abomentolor found nothing to his linking. I took grater Invisibility as the only real good spell for him has costly Material Components I can't get here.
That is unfortunate.
Is Niamh about?
The only component is an eyelash encased n gum arabic. Also if the spell does not list a price it is not meaningful. That means eschew materials functions for it, which all sorcerers get. So why can't he use it?
Or do you mean the only other spell has a component
Niamh went to sleep already.
Well phooey.
School again tomorrow?
Abomentolor took Greater invisibility because Detonate(M) has an expensive material component.
No school. It's only one saturday a month.
Or do you mean Niamh?
No school on sundays.
So we may actually get some gameplay tomorrow?
Also how many concurrent characters are you running with your other game now?
