Spell Immunity

How does spell immunity interact with spells that have varying levels depending on the class casting them? An example is flamestrike (Cleric 5/Druid 4). I can choose spells of 4th level or lower. Does that mean I am protected against flamestrike when it is cast by a cleric?

Spell Immunity

Abjuration
Level: Clr 4, Protection 4, Strength 4
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 10 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The warded creature is immune to the effects of one specified spell for every four levels you have. The spells must be of 4th level or lower. The warded creature effectively has unbeatable spell resistance regarding the specified spell or spells. Naturally, that immunity doesn’t protect a creature from spells for which spell resistance doesn’t apply. Spell immunity protects against spells, spell-like effects of magic items, and innate spell-like abilities of creatures. It does not protect against supernatural or extraordinary abilities, such as breath weapons or gaze attacks.

Only a particular spell can be protected against, not a certain domain or school of spells or a group of spells that are similar in effect.

A creature can have only one spell immunity or greater spell immunity spell in effect on it at a time.

That would depend on your DM and his personal ruling. I'd shoot you down with a quick and hard no as the cleric casts at higher level and with more difficulty than the druid.

As Lord Wyrm notes, there's a bit of dissention regarding this spell. Personally, I rule that the Spell Immunity only functions against spells of 4th-level or lower. So it'd block a druid's Flame Strike but not a cleric's. Unless the druid had the Heighten Spell feat, and cast a Heightened Flame Strike and made it a 5th+ level spell.
