Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack Simth" data-source="post: 3137174" data-attributes="member: 29252">It was "the SR" not just "SR", reffering to SR from the SR enhancement on armor, I imagine.Take my guesstimates above for about when someone might be picking up SR equipment.  An equal level caster gets through on a roll of 4; a 15% failure rate (1, 2, and 3).    With Spell Penetration, that becomes a roll of 2.  With Greater Spell Penetration, that becomes a 0.  With an Orange Prism Ioune Stone, that becomes a -1.  With a Robe of the Archmagi, that becomes a -3.  With the Orange Prism Ioune Stone and the Robe of the Archmagi, but no Spell Penetration feats, you're looking at a roll of 1.Sure, if you're spending half your wealth on a spell resistence buckler, sure, you might slow opposing pure mages down.  It might slow spellcasting dragons (although they've got better things to do than cast offensive spells - breath weapon, self buffs, full attacks.... just keep them away from Wraithstrike and Power Attack).  For the most part, though, the SR from the armor/shield enhancement simply isn't worth the expense for the effect.</blockquote>
