[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6677714, member: 20323"] Could be there are more workarounds than I know -- I haven't played a caster in 5e yet! I was speaking more from my perspective as a DM. :) While not a lot of creature TYPES have Magic Resistance, the ones that do include Angels, Devils, Demons, many Fey, Golems & Helmed Horrors, Nights Hags, Slaadi, a few Undead (Flameskulls, Liches, Demiliches, Death Knights, Mummy Lords), Mind Flayers, Yuan-Ti, and Yugoloths. Several of those creatures are prevalent in Planescape. Also, several of those are often found thematically grouped in adventures - e.g. hordes of Demons, ziggurats of Yuan-Ti, halls of Helmed Horrors, glades of Pixies, etc. Are you talking about 5e? In 5th edition there are no guidelines for 'monster knowledge checks.' It is completely at the DM's discretion whether such a check is even possible, and if it [B]is[/B] possible what ratio of lore vs. lore tied to weaknesses/abilities is revealed. Personally, I like that this is in the DM's hands, because it allows for greater flexibility and also for establishing old school feel without any 'monster knowledge checks' if that's what the group wants.
