[QUOTE="Bryntryst, post: 3031593, member: 44032"] I've just recently returned to the forums, and apparently can't make my own topic, so I'll breathe a little life into this one to ask a few questions. The group that I play Living Greyhawk with is starting to offer Xen'drik Expeditions, and I have a promo creation card that permits me to play a drow. A question recently came up regarding spell resistance, though and it has me rethinking my choice. According to the DMG and the PHB, spell resistance can be lowered by spending a standard action, and remains down until just before your next turn. The rules regarding SR also state that harmless spells always fail against spell resistance. My questions are as follows: 1) How do drow (or any other creature with SR) use healing potions? If they have to use a standard action to lower their SR, they don't have any actions left to dump a potion down their neck. 2) How do drow clerics magically heal their fallen (below -10) on the field of battle? An unconscious drow has no actions to lower their SR, and a cure spell automatically fails. 3) I know I'll think of one later, so instead I'll ask this. If I promise not to make a Drizzt clone, will you not hound me for playing a drow? :uhoh: Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
