==Description==

The target creature has its [[spell resistance]] set to 12 +1 per caster level. If the target already had a higher spell resistance, this spell has no effect.

This spell can still have [[Dispel Magic]] and [[Breach]] cast on it to remove. Any spells which are unaffected by spell resistance are not protected against.

Casting this spell twice on a target will work, however the effects do not overlap (but could possibly be useful for resisting Dispel Magic and Breach attempts for longer).

== Gameplay Notes ==

12 + Caster Level is essentially the "bare minimum" of useful spell resistance. For instance:

Caster: Is caster level 20
Target: Has Spell Resistance cast on them by a level 20 caster, thus SR is 32.

Without any additional feats, the caster requires a 12 on a [[d20]] (12 + 20 = 32) to overcome the spell resistance. With [[Spell penetration]] this lowers to a 10 or more, and with [[Greater spell penetration]] it lowers to a 8 or more. It is the same rolls for equal caster levels.

These are still seizable bonuses to this - a caster still only has a 50/50 chance of their hostile spell affecting you, and at higher levels, Clerics and Druids have plenty of level 5 slots. It also lasts a reasonable amount of time compared to other magical defences like [[Spell Mantle]]. It can also affect other targets then the caster, making it a more useful utility spell, especially for front line fighters who otherwise have very little magical protection or saves.

This is a somewhat useful spell to have on a Scroll or Rod, because it doesn't use the casters ability modifier or spell casting feats to do anything extra.

== Modding Notes ==

Although the script uses the function [[EffectSpellResistanceIncrease]](), as the description says, if the creatures existing spell resistance is greater then this, it basically has no effect.
