11-17-04, 01:56 AM If I were playing a drow, who get 11+character level as SR, I'm fairly certain it wouldn't stack with the Monk's Diamond Soul thingie. Nor would it stack with spells like "Spell Resistance". Right? So are there any ways to improve my SR aside from massive levelling and buying ridiculously expensive items? I just want some way to kick some spellcasting butt. Is that so much to ask? :confused:

11-17-04, 02:05 AM There are some PrC's which grant SR that stacks with other things (I seem to remember the Forsaker being one of them, but I can't be bothered to check). That's the only thing I can think of; and it's for good reason that SR doesn't stack often - it can easily lead to situations that are a game balance nightmare.

Because you are born with SR already..and then you train to resist it even more..you can stand out at your monastary as the guy that is taking fireballs to the face (or some SR dependant spell if Fireball isn't one).

Not stack but it could give like +2 increase on SR.

To the thread starter: There is a Forsaker (3.0E) and an Epic Feat that increases SR by 2! The feat is great for Monks and Drow in epic play. I once build a Monk that could be affected only 15% of times by an equal lvl spellcaster with Spell Penetration feats!
