At first we thought that any creature coming into contact with someone who has Freedom of movement cast would cause a SR check to be done.

But after reading the SR guidlines in the DMG it looks like the SR is only in relation to the recipient of the spell, not everyone coming into contact with it.

On page 298 of the DMG under the SR section it talks about abjuration spells ( such as Freedom of movement) It states ( and I'm paraphrasing) That abjurations that block or negate attacks are not subject to the attackers SR, that SR only applies to the creature who recieves the spell.

Am i missing anything ?

I do believe that Prismatic Wall/Sphere allows for Spell Resistance on the enemy passing through, though. I'm not sure.

Only creatures DIRECTLY affected by a spell get an SR roll.

That is why Freedom of Movement say SR: Yes (Harmless).

SR YES means the person the spell is cast on gets an SR roll, the Harmless means that the person should have no desire to succeed on the SR roll.

SR applies to each effect, roll seperately, not one roll for the spell as a whole.
