[QUOTE="BronzeDragon, post: 163346, member: 873"] I don't know if anyone has talked about this before, but searches didn't come up with any results, so I'll start a fresh topic. Did people notice that the Spell Resistance (SR) of almost all dragon types is fixed by CR? Take, for example, CR 20. Excepting the Red and the Brass, all other dragons present a SR of 27. The Red has 26 and the Brass 28. In the case of dragons who do not have a CR 20 representative, the average between the SR of CR 19 and CR 21 dragons of the type in question gives the same answer, 27. I don't agree with this at all! Although I realize the Magic resistance of 2E worked very differently, I don't agree with this equilibrium between all dragon species in the case of SR when the CR system is used to select opponents. As an aside, Monster Compedium : Monsters of Faerûn raised the bar a little bit. At CR 20, all the dragons in the book present a SR of 30 (which is, BTW, exactly 45% magic resistance against the typical 20th-level spellcaster [without any penetration feat(s)]). What do you guys think about this? P.S.: Went to take a look at my Creature Collection II, and our friend Upper_Krust went against the norm and gave the Slarecian Dragon a SR of 32 at CR 20. [/QUOTE]
