Does SR stack?

[dkilgo]

I agree. The drow forsaker just does not make any sense. An innately magical class forsaking magic all together. I don't think so on the grounds that the drow thrive on magic, and its uses. I personally would not allow one of my players to play a drow forsaker.

EDIT: PrCs are the only exception that I can think of, and could very well have been left out of this post.

It only stacks when using poorly-designed PrCs. Especially the drow forsaker, which is an innately magical race taking an innately non-magical PrC.

Don't ALL drow have SR? And don't they have more once they get class levels? I'm not saying the PrC in question isn't poorly designed--I don't honestly know--but it sure isn't for the reason you claim.

It could be argued that an innately magical race would be better able to resist the effects of magic. I mean...it's magic after all.

Point well taken, but why would a drow give up his magical life style that he is accustomed to. Only to garnish a life of magic depravation. I would think the farthest a drow would go is to forsake the ways of his people, and leave everything about them behind. But, the only thing he would keep is his affinity for magic.

I have to confess...I have no idea what this means.

But as for the other stuff, I think it depends on the character.

Good point. I will jump from the tangent back to the straight and narrow. Sorry Guys!

Oh, I really don't know what it means either. It just sounded good to me at the time.

LOL!

Yes, sorry for the thread-rot. Back to the question of SR! I agree that it overlaps, and does not stack except in rare & unique cases. Certainly not in the core rules.

As I have stated before, I agree with you on the overlapping bit, and the not stacking bit. The PrCs I am in denial over. ONly fo rthe next ten to twenty minutes.
