Meddle. Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 i have a feeling these spells should bypass magic resistance. sadly, i couldnt find valid ad&d resources on this (other than phb and dmg), but here are my arguments: - the spell is not targeted on a creature - it is not the word that affect creatures (no hypnosis here), but - the spell invokes kinda explosion of positive (negative) energy, which, in turn, affects creatures - positive (negative) energy is not subject to mr. after all, vampires drain levels from resistant creatures just fine. having said that, i'm thinking of (un)holy smite in a vary similar way.

Guest erik Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I understand what you mean, but similar arguments could be made for all area-effect damage spells... If I were a BG2 GM, I could be swayed to the opposite opinion: MR affecting creatures' energy drain attacks. Link to comment
