[QUOTE="schatten-k.raehe, post: 2843964, member: 40627"] I have a quite tricky question about the Favored Mystery feat: If a 13th-level Shadowcaster (Tome of Magic p. 111 ff.) takes the Favored Mystery feat (Tome of Magic p. 136), choosing to use the Greater Shadow Evocation mystery as a supernatural ability, does a spell mimiced ignore spell-resistance? Example: The mentioned Shadowcaster casts Greater Shadow Evocation to mimic the spell Ice Storm. Normally the Shadowcaster would have to make a caster level check to overcome the spell-resistance of a target for the Greater Shadow Evocation AND another check to see if the Ice Storm spell can beat the spell resistance of the target, too. As the Favored Mystery feat allowes our 13th-level Shadowcaster to cast Greater Shadow Evocation as a supernatural ability, spell-resistance won't work against it, however what about the Ice Storm spell? Does it count as a spell (because it was mimiced and according to the spell description a target gets the benefit of spell-resistance, if the spell mimiced allows that) or as a supernatural ability (because the Favored Mystery feat applies to the spell mimiced as well as to the Greater Shadow Evocation)? Well, any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
