07-24-07, 06:46 AM I read in a post a while ago that there was a human race with Spell Risistance and an LA penalty. Does anyone know which race it is and where I can find it? :confused:

07-24-07, 07:02 AM I think it may be the Karsi, but I do not know where they are detailed. Tome of Magic, perhaps :confused:

07-24-07, 07:26 AM Karsites from Tome of Magic. LA +3, if I recall, and restrictions on being magic users.
DragonGhoula
07-24-07, 08:19 AM Karisites are LA +2, and beyond having spell resistance, gain the human feat, the skill points, and they gain some cool magic-draining-related abilities, like they can drain magic from weapons, heal from magic that doesn't pass their spell resistance, etc. They also cannot be arcane or divine casters.

07-24-07, 10:25 AM Heh, can they be psionicists or incarnum-users?
Lawlicron
07-24-07, 10:41 AM They sure can.
The_Shaman
07-24-07, 11:31 AM Which is weird, since they sound like a race based of a FR mage, and psionics in the realms is somewhat under the influence of the magic deity...
DreamerInsane
07-24-07, 11:39 AM You're, right, they are based on Karsus.
It's also weird because Incarnum is magic.
Ah, well.
They also have a bonus to Con, IIRC, and have Binder as their favoured class.
The_Shaman
07-24-07, 11:58 AM Well, incarnum is iirc more removed from magic than psionics is. Didn't magic need a separate spell to dispell soulmelds? By RaW, dispel magic hits psionics no less hard than dispel psionics does. Really weird. Anyway, apparently Karsus did manage to peeve quite a few gods with that spell of his... I need to check the details, I haven't read ToM myself.

07-26-07, 03:14 AM As it would seem, they are quasi-banned from magic because of their predecessor, the (in)famous Karsus of Netheril.
