[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 55819, member: 2406"] You know, in my 20+ years of playing the game, I have often pondered that mystery. The best explanation I have come up with, to appease no one but myself, is that high-level characters have developed a resistance to certain types of magic over time, be it through training or by having been exposed to it over and over again. The saving throw system and the survivability of high-level characters to [i]Fireball[/i]s and [i]Disintregrate[/i]s, certainly bears this theory out. This would be an uncontrollable, ingrained resistance so even they can't "turn it off" for healing spells. Cleric: "Alas, my old friend Cedric, I fear you have grown too accustomed to my low magicks. Nowadays even my strongest healing miracles can but barely penetrate that thick stubborn hide of yours." My point is, even the silliest and wackiest of rules can be explained to some extent by some DM creativity. [/QUOTE]
