ok, say you have 6 spells on your person, and someone uses dispel magic (the area one) which dispels one of them starting at the highest, like with saves or spell resistance (yes i know it does not allow any) could you just voulentarly let it take the highest level spell without it even making a check thus leaving your lower ones safe. I dont suppose you can, im just asking.

1) Always be checked first before any other spells when dispells are attempted.

2) automatically fails any Dispell check made against it.

11-17-04, 06:54 PM Here's my try at such a spell:
Dispel Shield
School: Abjuration
Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Recharge Time: 6 hours
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Source: ATB
Short Description: This spell protects you from dispel magic attemps by being dispelled first.

When an area dispel magic lands on you, this spell automatically registers as the highest level spell, even if it is not, and also automatically fails its caster level check. Thus protecting your other active spells.

You may not have more than one dispel shield active at once. Any additional castings replace the previous ones.

Alternate rules that let magic users recharge their spell slots. But it locks levels out for General Recharge.
