Creatures immune to force damage?

[Av3rnus]

So, I'm looking at the 'Force' weapon enhancement (MIC), and it seems like a very good deal: get past any DR and suffer no miss chance against incorporeal creatures. The only caveat is that it will be completely useless against creatures immune to force damage.

So... how many creatures are actually immune to force damage? A quick search turns up an epic Force Dragon, but that's it. Do any others exist?

I'm a firm believer that there should be resistance against the "other" types of energy attacks - force, positive, negative, light, disintegrate etc...

That would be nice

On a tangential rant, which some of you may have seen before, I'm of the firm belief that SR should work like DR. So that Mr. Mind Flayer with his SR of 15 ignores 15 points of magical damage from any spell (fireball, magic missile, etc.) So that would include force effect.

Rants aside though, I can't think of any creatures immune to force damage except Force Dragons, and things like golems who are immune to any spell that allows SR, including most force spells. Most.

Oh, and Willow Wisps, except for their vulnerability to Magic Missile.

And spellcasters who have the Force Ward spell.

Oh, and Argent Savants have some resistance to force damage. Not much though.

...

Did I miss anything?

Planar dragons from Tarterus and Amethyst dragons (MMII) both have Resistance to force -
(+4 to saves vs force effects) which as far as I know don't have saving throws in Core rules.
at least the 3.5 source does not mention Magic Missle as an example. ;p

Yeah, I considered golems as well, but I'm reasonably certain even they wouldn't be immune from a Force bow. So far as I know, SR doesn't apply to a weapon's special abilities - I've never heard of a fighter needing to roll an SR check every time they whack at a red dragon with their +1 Frost Greatsword, for instance.

I like that idea. I was trying to come up with a workable conversion from SR to xd6 resistance to damaging spells. Or for SR to be like an extra save for half (or 1/4) instead of all or nothing.

 

[Shayuri]

Ah, but what about a Force Golem?

...

Okay, I made that up. But I still think it's a cool idea.

houserule the shield spell to block all force effects, not just magic missile.
