[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 2616382, member: 12966"] I was actually toying with the idea that [i]silence[/i] needed to be nerfed. Now I'm sure. ;) I think there's too much being read into the description of the spell. If the [i]fireball[/i] spell had the same [b]Saving Throw[/b] line, would the SR creature get to roll its resistance? I think I'd go with "yes". And that's because while the object being targeted may or may not get a save, a creature with SR [u]does[/u] when it enters an AoE. I see nothing that trumps that statement. As I said, I've been thinking about requiring a Will save from any unwilling creature within the AoE of [i]silence[/i], or who enters the AoE after it's cast. Such a save would mean that the individual creature was not affected. This would be more inline with the way other AoE spells work, such as [i]fireball[/i]. But I haven't actually instituted this yet. I'll bring it up at the next session and we'll try it. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. :) [/QUOTE]
