So far, the most exciting thing appears to be the arcane feats! Very interesting stuff thus far....

Draconomicon has lower spell resistance (Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 4) which lowers a creature's SR by your caster level (max 15).

Ok, I didn't remember... Would be interesting to see which of the 2 will be more "official" than the other (in ORPG or CRPG for example).

In manual of the planes, there's also "spell vulnerability" which lowers spell resistance by caster level, identically to "lower spell resistance" from draconomicon, except it's one level lower.

Are you sure it's the MotP? I'm not finding that spell in my copy. Planar Handbook, maybe?

I'm glad that the Green Star Adept error apparently was web only.

Well, it's not like SR is that big a problem anyway, unless the DM is ignoring all those spells that say "no" next to the "spell resistance" notation.

I actually DM for a guy who's playing a rakshasa. He keeps arbitrarily declaring himself "immune" to this spell or that, and I keep having to disappoint him. Heck, just check out "Blast of Flame" and the various orb spells contained in CA (and lifted from the Minis Handbook).

Perhaps he's remembering the 3.0 version, with its spell immunity to anything below 9th?

Yes, you're correct. Planar handbook.

Yes, you're correct. Planar handbook.

IIRC, it's one of those spells that screams "broken".

Cheers!

... the various orb spells contained in CA (and lifted from the Minis Handbook).

The orb spells were in the Miniatures Handbook? Then, it's their third printing in 3e, since they were introduced in Tome & Blood.

As a replacement for the 2e spell prismatic orb, which was deemed too powerful to be back as-is.
