Spell Resistance...

[Scribble]

So I was reading the thread on saving throws and thinking I agreed with the change because it makes it fall more in line with Spell Resistance... Why roll against one, but have the other rolled against you? Why not keep them the same...

Then I thought, with the seeming emphasis on less die rolls... do you think SR will still exist? (at least in the same form?)

Do you think it might just be a large bonus to the save DC?

I have no idea, but it would seem reasonable to just grant a bonus to defense vs spells and spell like abilities instead of requiring two rolls for the attacker.

I agree. Keeping the 3.5 spell resistance mechanics would be redundant. Spell penetration (if such a feat or talent continues to exist into 4e) could simply negate a certain amount of this bonus.

What if SR is like your AC? That would be convenient.

Thats sort of how Saves are going to work... You'll have a save AC, and they roll against it...

I think it should bein 4E in it's 3E form, but I suspect it won't be.

Careful. We don't know this is how 4e is going to work (unless I missed something), although it is an adequate description of SWSE.

I hope so. I've always thought rolling a saving throw to make a saving throw was annoying.

Just a wild thought, but with the SAGA reroll idea, what is SR just gave you the ability to reroll your saves?

It would be simple, and it scales in its own way (the better your saves, the even better they get with rerolls). On the other hand, its probably too on/off for the game.

That's an interesting idea. Forcing your opponent to reroll a successful attack/spell/ability.

Spell Resistance is rather on/off anyways.
