I think that this is more a problem regarding how Spell Resistance itself works: like saving throws, it doesn't scale too well into this territory. Like any roll which uses a d20 mechanic, in fact - the random factor becomes less and less significant when a modifier of +50, +60 or +70 applies.Short of changing the way SR works, I'm afraid I don't have an answer. Whilst I agree that, overall, CRs follow a quadratic formula, there are instances where it doesn't really work. Four 35th-level characters are probably going to be wiped by a 70th-level wizard; I wouldn't peg their chances at 50/50.The complexity of measures and counter-measures becomes mind-boggling. It is a given that a powerful spellcaster will be immune to pretty much everything, all of the time - or at least have sufficient resistances to withstand a few rounds of assault. Meh.I pity the fighter. Maybe we need cheap SR items for their sake.</blockquote>
