Suggestion: New Feat, skill, spell, etc.. Spell DR

[MrWizard]

okay..
how about items, feats, skills, PrEs, something....that allows us to build up some spell DR.

that is damage reduction.

A nice 10DR versus those fireballs or scorching rays, mass aoe damage, and the like.

just a thought.

It's called "resistance" (fire resistance, if you want to decrease damage from fireballs and scorching rays), and it already exists.

Fire Savant I, II and III have 5, 10 and 15 points fire resistance, which stacks with everything.

Resistance.
Protection.
Absorb.

Pick your poison. There's plenty of it in game already.

All the resistances are against an element rather than against magic, though. Generic spell resistance would be nice for PMs vs. Searing Light or melee vs. Magic Missiles. If %-based, it would be nice for Disintegrate.

[MrWizard]

against beholders most of this stuff don't work, or when you die and are not buffed.
Or when the casters/clerics never buff anyone.

just a thought of DR...damage reduction.

maybe it is not needed. I for one would not mind being more 'immune' to magic damage that could be built up, and stackable, to like 30 or 40 DR just like armor DR.

would definitely help non evasion types from so many easy deaths, especially on elite stuff...

at least mirrored armor for searing light or force traps.
