So, I've been looking at playing a DN with spell resistance. I figure, if I ever want to play something with SR, it's now, since I have a Tomb-Tainted Soul, and I pointedly DON'T want to be affected by the cleric's healing magic, since I have no intention of telling him unless I have to. Likely, he won't appreciate it that the energy that powers his most important abilities is anathema to me. I have an awesome sap story (true, but a sap story from my point of view) about how my mother was inflicted with mummy rot and couldn't be saved, and how I can't help what I am and just have to live with it, but there's no guarantee that'll hold up (true or not) once I start using Animate Dead and roll a 1 on the check to Disguise it, but that's a problem I'll have 1 or 3 levels to think my way out of in advance.
So, there're spells like Vampiric Touch and Death Knell on my spell list. Awesome.
In the description, it says Spell Resistance applies to both, but not with anything indicating it may be harmless. So, if I zap some poor monster with either of these spells, is there any RAW or other reason to think that my SR could apply to the temp HP or +2 Str of these spells, respectively?
