[3.5] Save-or-Die/Suck with Spell Resistance: No?

[Warclam]

Lately, I've been pondering methods of fixing/nerfing magic. Not to get into details, especially since this would belong over in homebrew, one involves heavy modification to spell resistance in order to thwart save-or-X spells except against an already weakened monster.

However, this is clearly useless in the face of nasty spells that ignore spell resistance. So, before I bother thinking anymore, what SR: No debilitating spells are there that totally undermine my idea? :smallwink:

Glitterdust, for one.

[Greenish]

Orb of Fire.

Stinking Cloud. Black Tentacles (not actually a save, but still mean). Cloudkill... is nice for killing mooks or wearing down bigger stuff, but not actually awesome.

Thank you, that works nicely. Back to the drawing board. Maybe borrow wording from AMF....

Open a thread in Homebrew with some details and maybe we can help?
