Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dingleberry" data-source="post: 392625" data-attributes="member: 490">Sorry - I should've been more specific.  The conflict is in timing: if an immunity is treated as unbeatable SR, it takes a standard action to lower it (as hong correctly stated).  If, however, you can suppress an immunity as you can voluntarily give up a saving throw (per PHB), it shouldn't take a standard action.Let me provide an example of why this could be an important issue: a wizard tries to polymorph other a friendly needlefolk (who is in the middle of a wicked melee with something nasty) in order to give the needlefolk some healing and turn it into, say, a dire ape.  Recalling that the needlefolk is a plant and therefore immune to polymorphing, the wizard's spell will be wasted if the immunity is like spell resistance and the needlefolk hasn't taken a standard action to lower it (it would rather take another swipe at its opponent).  If, however, the needlefolk can voluntarily give up his immunity like a non-immune creature could give up its saving throw, he gets the magical goodness.Thoughts?</blockquote>
