Highest SR relative to CR
The roper has SR 30, which is 18 higher than its CR of 12. Other than the Mercane in the ELH, this is the highest SR relative to CR I know of. Is there a higher one in a non-epic product?
Edit: for clarity, I'm not looking for combos that can grant high SR, just creatures which come with SR as standard.Last edited by Biggus; 2022-06-23 at 04:08 PM.

Re: Highest SR relative to CR
A Bariaur Forsaker 1 (you can enter at level 1 with 2 flaws) would have an SR of 22 and a CR of 1.

Re: Highest SR relative to CR
The highest non-infinite Spell Resistance definitely belongs to anything with the epic version of the Pseudonatural Creature template: scaling SR equal to Hit Dice x5. Hard to beat that after a few HD; stick it on anything with inflated RHD for the CR, and there you go. Also, a shout out to Monster of Legend from the MM2; which can pick an ability that is basically infinite Spell Turning, which is effectively infinite SR like a golem, except it reflects back on the caster.

Re: Highest SR relative to CR
If templates are acceptable, then highest non-Epic examples is, probably Spellwarped Colossal Monstrous Crab (Stormwrack) CR 15, SR 59; 59-15=44
Also, Shadow Simulacrum halves creature's CR (and HD); Petitioners are all CR 1 (and HD 2 or less), but may keep their original SR (if Ex, and not depends on HD number)
If non-associated classes for NPC are in use - then, say, Mind Flayer Barbarian 8 would have CR 12 and SR 33; 33-12=21Last edited by ShurikVch; 2022-06-24 at 08:35 PM.
