[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 1627744, member: 14451"] Okay, the basic question is this, what happens when a spell caster fails to penetrate a monsters spell resistance when the are grappled and casting a prismatic sphere? Here is the long version, we are playing 3.0 epic level rules (don't ask me why, he likes 3.0, and it is broken for spells, so I don't complain:D ). Our party is ambushed by some unidentified colossal tree that grapples most of the party with razor like vines in the surprise round. My Cleric (who can cast prismatic sphere through her domain) makes the concentration check from the damage taken last round and casts prismatic sphere. This should, in my opinion, spread out from the caster, causing me to not be grappled any further. The DM had me roll for spell resistance, I failed, so he ruled that it was still attached to me through the grapple, and that on its turn he had it pull me through the prismatic sphere and into its mouth. I thought it was a bit unfair, but since he already had me grappled and I didn't die yet, I thought what the hell, he is only a thrall anyway. Next round, I make another check for concentration and cast another prismatic sphere inside the weird tree beast. This one should work as intended, but I fail the spell penetration yet again and he rules that it can still try to eat me. Taking 30-50 HP a round from being eaten it not very fun, but I can survive a few more rounds before I try to cast heal. We called it the night around 11:00pm so I have a week to make my case while my cleric is being unched on inside a plant(greenpeace would be proud), my question is this, how does spell resistance work against protection spells like this. I say the creature would not be effected by the effects of the 7 layers but it would still keep him at bay, he just wouldn't take damage from the prismatic sphere. He thinks that if I fail the save the spell either fizzles or he can by pass it. Who can give me the answer please? [/QUOTE]
