Last Question of the Day!

As a monk, I eventually acquire Diamond Soul(spell resist monk level + 10). It more or less gives me a 50% to avoid spells from what it seems.

Is there any way to increase this further with a wonderous or magical item since nothing else really stacks with it?

Not really. A scarab of protection is about the only magic item I can think of that a monk could use to provide SR, and your diamond soul SR is eventually going to climb higher than the scarab's. If you've got a 15th-level cleric providing you with support you can also get holy aura cast on you...

(There are other items that provide SR, but as a monk you don't want to wear armor of spell resistance and you don't qualify to wear robes of the archmage.)


Alrighty. Good, that saves me money and time haha. Monks get so many neat little feats and stuff! Also it just so happens we do have a Cleric in our group! He is definitely unholy though >.> We're all level 3 atm however.

Good stuff to know, thank you Lincoln!


there's the mantle of spell resistance

Darn! I knew I forgot at least one.


Would that add to my Diamond Soul ability or just overlap it?


Sources of Spell Resistance, like DR, overlap, and do not stack to my knowledge. Otherwise A monk would get diamond body and then invest in something with +13 spell resistance be virtually immune to any spell allowing spell resistance for anyone up to their level +3.

Emphasis mine.

No it doesn't, it gives you a 50% chance to avoid spells from your allies and it gives you less than a 50% chance to avoid spells from your enemies (since your enemies are almost always higher level than you)

Really? My GMing style usually has the PCs facing multiple weaker casters - which ironically tend to be a greater challenge. More saving throws as opposed to more difficult ones... but SR provides a much greater advantage in those situations than against the one big demon/dragon type.


Oh crap. I keep forgetting they're basically a higher level... well at least I score a free spell resist >.> Certainly beats nothing.

Alrighty. Well thanks guys! I won't fret about items with spell resist now :D
