Resilient Sphere and Spell Resistance

[Alzrius]

So recently, my mage got into a tight spot and, in an effort to avoid being slaughtered, cast resilient sphere around himself as a defensive measure.

The monster we were fighting had spell resistance, however, and came after my mage about two rounds later. Since the spell had a "Spell Resistance yes" entry, the GM ruled that it could touch the resilient sphere and have a chance to get through it unless I beat its spell resistance.

I called foul, saying that the spell resistance entry was for if you tried to use resilient sphere around another creature as a capture technique, not that any creature with SR could try to get through it around someone else after the fact. The GM reluctantly agreed, but only on the provision that he was going to review it more closely later.

What do you guys think? If you lay a resilient sphere around a creature without SR, and during its duration a creature with SR touches the sphere, is a spell resistance check called for? If so and if the check fails, does the resilient sphere collapse entirely?

Bumping for great justice (and because this is going to come up again next week)!

Once its formed it functions as Wall of Force (SR: No). So a creature with SR cannot just reach through. But a Wall of Force can be damaged or dispelled.

A globe of shimmering force encloses a creature, provided the creature is small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere. The sphere contains its subject for the spell's duration. The sphere functions as a wall of force, except that it can be negated by dispel magic. A subject inside the sphere can breathe normally. The sphere cannot be physically moved either by people outside it or by the struggles of those within.

I would say this indicates that the SR is supposed to be for when the spell is cast. with the assumption that its being used on the resistant creature.

Resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has more input on this. Seems like an odd spell to have SR but mimic an effect that has no SR
