09-19-07, 04:33 AM Other than Drow, are there any player character races with ECL 2 or less that provide Spell Resistance of at least 10 + character levels?

09-19-07, 06:10 AM The Gith both have SR, +1 or +2 LA, there's some others in the MM, can't be bothered to look atm, and if you use the Trasparency Rule (I think that's what it's called), the races from EPH and CPsi with PR could work.

09-19-07, 03:11 PM Check the draconians (Baaz and Kapak) in the Dragonlance Campaign setting if that is an acceptable source for your campaign. I believe they're LA +0 and +1 respectively, both have 2 dragon racial HD, and at least one has SR. I'm 1000 miles away from my books right now, so just going off of memory. Baaz make for fairly good fighter types, and female kapaks make nifty supplimental healers that can creep out your teammates. Web enhancements are available to give racial feats that flesh them out in a more unique way, and they count as dragon type which opens up some options in the draconomicon and elsewhere.

So, for the specific goal of ECL 2, you could take a Baaz with no class levels and add levels from there. Full BAB, multiple nat attacks (claw/claw/bite if I remember correctly), wings (glide, not fly), 2d12 HD, good skill points, and nat armor if I recall correctly..

Big thing to watch out for though, is you need to be extra careful not to die. Because when you die your body self destructs and you stay dead.

09-20-07, 01:07 AM The phrenic template from Expanded Psionics Handbook gives 10+HD power resistance (the same as spell resistance unless your DM says otherwise), great ability modifiers, and a nice list of psi-like powers that actually scale with levels. Just add it to a race that already has darkvision, and it's pretty much a better drow.
