Arcane mastery(take 10 on opposed caster lv checks)
Spell enhancer(+2caster lv, +1dc)
Use spells which don't allow sr checks?:P

Really, there is su much anti SR stuff out by now that SR is now a non-issue.

02-24-07, 07:28 AM Heh, what does it do? (You don't need to quote the entire thing and make the WizOs angry, just give me a general idea)

It's like True Strike, except that it gives you +10 to your caster level check to overcome SR, rather than +20 to hit.

IMO, by the time SR becomes an issue at all, Assay Spell Resistance is always the better choice, but I'm sure some would disagree.

I had to resort to using Magic Jar to posess an NPC today when I ran out of spells...

I'm a Warlock, will I be able to take Arcane Mastery as a feat?

Thanks again,

Yes. It specifically says it works with invocations.
