Doing so is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Once a creature lowers its resistance, it remains down until the creature’s next turn. At the beginning of the creature’s next turn, the creature’s spell resistance automatically returns unless the creature intentionally keeps it down (also a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity).Lowering spell resistance is a standard action.  This is required, even if the spell is harmless.  That doesn't mean that lowering your SR only lets harmless spells through.  If you lower your SR, it's down until your next turn.As for curing an unconscious drow, that's exactly right - SR will act against the cure spell.'Not an action' is not an action.  There is a section in the Table of Action Types for things that are not actions.  That doesn't make them actions.If we have a table of fluids and their colours, and one fluid has the note 'colourless', that doesn't mean it has a colour by virtue of being on the table.  It means when we look at the table to determine its colour, we find that it has no colour.When we look at the Table of Action Types to determine what type of action something is, we will sometimes find that it is not an action at all.Why?  One's an action, the other is not.Right.A Wolf's trip ability allows it to trip as a free action, not as a non-action.True.True.Absolutely.  In fact: "You can’t attack with two weapons while grappling, even if both are light weapons."  That one is fairly self-evident, hmm?Well, you can't guide the horse with your knees while grappling.  Most of the other elements of mounted combat are similarly prevented.  Does this seem unreasonable?No starting or ending the blink effect, and no dimension door.  If it was already blinking, the blinking would continue.That's right - it's been that way since 3E first came out...?-Hyp.</blockquote>
