Question - Warlocks & Spell Resistance

Wyvern · Post by **Wyvern** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 6:35 pm

Does spell resistance help counter a Warlock's artillery? If so, does anyone have any numbers on how effective it is? Something along the lines of "A level XX Warlock casting at someone with spell resistance YY has a ZZ% chance of the spell failing."

And I assume Warlocks are hampered by spell failure percentages in exactly the same way as arcane casters are?

It works exactly like SR does for a wizard or sorcerer. So a level 10 warlock trying to use an invocation on something with SR 20 needs to roll a 10 on the D20.

The only exception is Vitriolic Blast (in case I got the name wrong: the acidic one). That one ignores SR entirely.

Yup.

Lets just make the server anti-arcane.

Yeah, sounds great.

Whoa, whoa.. good thing I actually read through this thread.. *grumbles*

Wyvern, are you bored again, because we could use some nice farmland and beetles! *smiles helpfully*

Farmland with inate spell failure and spell resistant beetles that dispel on hit you mean?

NO! Just farmland, some farmers and some ordinary 5-10th level beetles. Nothing fancy really. Not at all. Perhaps a large, underground beetle area as well--hm, this sounds oddly familiar..

No dispel, spell failure or resistance.. you evil DM.. *grumbles*

Isn't there a warlock incantation that specifically avoids spell resistence though? Like the acid one or something

You know I don't bother reading anything you say fully. Don't hold that against me.
