It looks like an android, walks like an android, has the immunities of an android, has the angst of an android....Whether or not it's magic or microchips, it's six or a half-dozen unless the distinction is palpable in some way and not just a mcguffin for bridging genres.Well, it was sufficient to rile at least one pedant, and I suppose that makes it all worthwhile. Just from a quick lookup of your own recent posts, it would seem that the ratio of constructive commentaries to "facile dismissals" of others' opinions leans markedly towards the latter side of the scales, Mr. Pot. Immunities gained from either class or racial features are quite rare, and in fact the paladin's immunity to disease and fear is actually a notable exception that proves that rule. Naturally, over time immunites become very common, but KM's objections pertained specifically to lower level characters. And of coourse, achieving temporary immunities via spells goes back to the challenge-affecting difference between passive immunity and actively consuming resources.</blockquote>
