Nerras and Reflective Spell Resistance...

[kreynolds]

If a fireball's area encompasses a Nerra and fails to bypass their SR, does the entire spell bounce back at the caster? I figure it would, seeing as how funky that would get to have only a 5-foot section of an exploding fireball bounce back.

I think the center of the AoE of the Fireball hits the spellcaster, roasting him and anybody standing within 20 feet of him.

I don't see why Reflective SR is a spell-like ability - what happens if I try to hit the nerra with Dispel Magic? Can the nerra put the field back up - as a free action? Standard action?

Same here.

Neither do I. Would make more sense to just couple it with standard SR, i.e. extraordinary.

I assume it comes back up automatically at the beginning of the Nerra's turn.
