12-30-06, 02:45 AM Does spell resistance apply to bardic music?
I'm inclined to say no, since I haven't found anything to suggest it, and when reading the Fascinate ability description it states clearly how it works without mentioning spell resistance or the need to bypass it.
However, I would very much like to hear others' opinions on that matter.

12-30-06, 03:16 AM Look at what form the bardic music takes. If it is SU, then it will ignore sr. If it is a SLA, then sr will apply.

This means that countersong, inspire courage/competence/greatness/heroics will bypass sr, while spell resistance/immunity will apply to fascinate, suggestion, song of freedom and mass suggestion.:)

12-30-06, 03:59 AM I would disagree that Song of Freedom allows SR because it says the effect produced is equivalent to Break Enchantment, which is SR:No
