How does magic resistance stack if at all?

Post by Snipercon »

We have a bunch of types of magic resistance.

Race: Drow, Deep Gomes/Dwarfs
Class: Monk
Bard Song
Spells
Magic Equipment

I don't suspect MR (magic resistance) stacks with no restrictions, or else you could make some charater that are magic proof.

Maybe it takes the highest base and the +levels stack. Example: Drow (11+drow level) Monk (10+monk level) Spell (??+caster level) = 11 + drow level + monk level + caster level

Maybe some stack and some dont. You take the highest natural MR from Race-Class and some or all of the hightest enchantment Item-Spell-Bard.

Or unfortunantly as I suspect, they dont stack you get the highest total.

Or something else entirely.

I'd appreciate if someone could fill me in. Thanks.

Spell Resistance does not stack from different sources. If you want a thorough description on how SR works, click here: [url="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellResistance"]Spell Resistance SRD page[/url]

You get the highest total, the factors are not cumulative.
