My question is based on undead things and their immunities to spells that require a fortitude save as stated in the MM. In the case with the Night Walker, it has a pretty mean SR, but since it is classified as an undead, will Lower Resistance affect it? Lower Resistance is a fortitude based spell, but I am just looking for some clarification. Thanks in advance, Bel'Quan

Since LSR has a target of "One creature," undead are, technically, immune to it. However, if I were the DM, I would say that since it's possible for an object to have SR (eg, a magic item), it makes sense to be a little loose with the targetting requirement of LSR. Also, I understand that the "immune to fort save" property of undead is supposed to reflect the fact that they don't have a living metabolism / physiology, and can thus ignore things that manipulate or damage the physiology. Since LSR doesn't affect physiology (SR can't be a function of physiology or undead couldn't have it), it makes sense that it should work on them.
