Okay, probably kind of a noob question, but I've never run across this before.
We're playing in Forgotten Realms, and I've decided to take the Outsider feat as my background feat. One of the properties this feat bestows on a character is that the character's type becomes "Native Outsider". Does this mean that any spell (or other effect) that specifically mentions it's target as being "humanoid" doesn't affect my character any more? That seems like it would make my character immune to a fairly large number of spells, mostly of the Enchantment variety. Am I right? Wrong? I've checked the MM definition of the term, but it doesn't really describe how this sort of thing interplays with spells, and I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for.
Also, if you decide to answer this question, I'd appreciate it if you pointed me to the book or text that describes the implications of this change in type, so I can show my GM, so he understands exactly what I'm doing. Truth is, my GM most dishes out mostly hp damage in fights, so I'm not expecting this will ever come up in practical application.
