[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 498325, member: 2829"] Yeah, true enough. Actually, there's this funny little thing about that, and it's kinda off-topic, but oh well. The Mind Flayer has SR 25. Now, with psionic/magic transparency, spell resistance functions as power resistance as well, protecting you from both. However, if you remove this transparency, you assign PR to creatures with SR, and it's equal to their SR - 10. So, a Mind Flayer would have SR 25 and PR 15. Here's my question for you: Do you think those should be reversed? I mean, here's a monster that is pretty versed with psionics, yet it has a higher SR than PR. Wierd. Does anyone have any suggestions on whether or not the mind flayer needs to be altered, or some aspects that need to be closely watched, when you remove the psionic/magic transparency? EDIT: Also, in a game where true psionics are present, how do you handle the Mind Flayer's Mind Blast ability? Do you treat it as is written in the MM? Or do you treat it as the psionic attack mode in the PsiH? [/QUOTE]
