View Full Version : Spell Resistance against your own spells?

So, I was looking at the Incantifier. It's a cool, pseudo-lich thing that feeds on arcane energy instead of negative energy. It really doesn't seem worth much (much less the price tag), unless you're just really wanting a non-evil immortal, who's technically still whatever race you were before immortality.

But, just in case it was something I were looking to use, I want to know mechanical interactions involving Spell Resistance.

1) Does SR affect your own spells?
2) Can you intentionally fail a Spell Pen. check?
3) If you are part of the AoE, and fail the Spell Pen against yourself, do you have to fail for the others, or do you need to roll for them?
4) If you fail a spell pen check against yourself, when you're a target of a Chained spell, does the chain stop with you?

Third line from the last: "A creature’s spell resistance never interferes with its own spells, items, or abilities. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellResistance)"

Ah shucks. Well, summoning is reasonably self-sufficient.
