Message: <blockquote data-quote="Al'Kelhar" data-source="post: 1129151" data-attributes="member: 7884">I decided that lower resistance was actually underpowered for a 5th level spell in 3rd edition.  I use the following version in my campaign:Lower ResistanceTransmutationLevel: Brd 4, Sor/Wiz 4Components: V,SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)Target: One creatureDuration: 1 round/level (see text)Saving Throw: Will negates (see text)Spell Resistance: NoThis spell lowers the spell resistance of the target creature by 1d6 points +1 point per three caster levels (maximum +6) for the duration of the spell.The spell is specifically designed to counter spell resistance, and is not affected by spell resistance itself (unlike most targeted transmutation spells, see p299 Dungeon Master’s Guide).Lower resistance works against both natural spell resistance and that provided by spells or magic items.  The spell has no effect on a creature’s immunities from a spell or spells (for example, a golem’s immunity to magic), and does not affect a creature’s saving throws against spells or spell-like abilities.The target creature is entitled to a saving throw to avoid the spell’s effects.  Further, an affected creature with natural spell resistance gets an additional saving throw every round, at the beginning of the caster’s turn.  If it is successful it puts its spell resistance back up and the spell ends.  Spell resistance from a spell or a magic item is lowered for the entire duration of lower resistance.Cheers, Al'Kelhar</blockquote>
