Defense for Constructs Vs. Inflict Damage Infusions (Eberron)?

Okay, the inflict damage line of infusions (from Eberron Campaign Setting): are there any defenses against them for constructs? Aside from staying away or getting a high touch AC? ;)

I.e., I'm playing a warforged (in Eberron) & the BBEG has already laid the smackdown on my character once (shame on her) using disable construct (the artificer's version of harm vs. constructs). I'd like it to not happen again (shame on me), as my group is most likely going to encounter her again in the near future.

Anyway, I've looked through a plethora of D&D books, but found naught, even in the ECS.

I noticed that all of the inflict damage infusions don't allow a save. Disable Construct does allow a save though. All of them do allow spell resistance. Depending on availability, Greater spell immunity would protect you completely. Spell resistance might help. Spell turning wouldn't work because it is a touch spell. Other than that, find ways of upping your will save if Disable Construct is what has you worried.
 

Well, my character's Will save is pretty good (& a successful save still means 75 damage, ouch!), so it looks like spell immunity, greater might be the best way to go. Unfortunately, no one in the party can cast it, so he might have to find someone & commission that person to maybe make an item that can cast it once per day or something.

I'll have to look into SR spells & effects, though & see how much protection those would offer vs. the BBEG (at least a 14th level artificer there).

Thanks.
 

Another tactic might include an anti-magic field, or some way of keeping the BBEG from touching you with the spell. What class is your Warforged?
 

Currently he's a rogue 4/swashbuckler 3/psion (shaper) 2/elocater 6 (my group has HR'ed multiclassing penalties away). I tried to build a character that maximizes maneuverability; I think I did a good job. He uses Spring Attack like it's going out of style; he'll prob' marry it some day 'cause he loves it. ;)

That said, he should be able to stay away from the BBEG, right? Well, the BBEG also happens to be an advanced succubus, so she can teleport right handily, & she hides real well; that's how she got the drop on my character the first time.

Hmm, antimagic field... isn't there a spell or item in Magic of Faerun with that effect that doesn't affect the caster?
