But, what is the Fighter's spell resistance? how do you calcualte it?... And while we are at it, how do you calculate the spell resistance for the Wiazrd too? (And all the other classes, if they are different!) I'm not overly a n00b when it comes to D&D, it's just that this spell resistance stuff seems harder than I first thought. (Unless I'm just missing something simple?) Help is greatly apprechiated, thanks! :D

He simply has to make a save against the spell, if the spell grants him one. If he has a SR from another source, then the other sources should specify what the SR ranking is.
Peltath 06-20-06, 12:58 AM	Ok, cool that makes sense, thanks. So is that that only spellcasters themselves have a spell resistance? If so, how are they calculated?

Peltath 06-20-06, 02:13 AM	Awsome, thanks guys... Gee, I've been stressing for nothing :rolleyes:

Novacat 06-20-06, 09:20 AM	Well, warmages are just silly anyways.
