Granted, I had the clr spells to fall back on, but in 2e most of my clr slots where cure this, cure that, remove blindness, etc.Just try sending a party of Ftr20, Rog20, Clr10/Wiz10, Clr10/Wiz10 up against a few CR 20 encounters. If the Critter has spell resistance, those 10th level spell casters are totally ineffective unless they are designed for only support. The party lacks artillery. Send the same critters agains a Ftr20, Rog20, Clr20, Wiz20 and by comparison the second party has a cakewalk.It is not a fair trade off. At a minimum all spellcasting levels should stack for spell resistance purposes. (Or SR should be divided into divine SR and arcane SR, but that's not a simple solution.)</blockquote>
