Wizard Slayers typically forsake magic via an oath similar to a sacred fist swearing a vow to never use weapons.    I wouldn't believe that a wizard slayer allowing others to cast buffs on them would be consistent with the class.  It shouldn't be much of an issue anyway considering it's easy enough to find +5 attributes.  JMO.  Those in charge can discuss at their leisure if they so choose to. 
:)

what about making them roll SR and save for harmless buff/heal spells, similar to the doomguard in the old pnp who had to roll saves for heal spells?
Norgalades Raunlyn - Entropy Engine [Doomguard] - Arrash [Xaositects] - Quimara Firin [Dustmen] - Korok - Greyfeather the Sorrowful - Nightsinger Sweetpoison - Irravel Veda - Taker of Specimens - and I've just started!

Why not just make it so they can't use any Magic items, but give them level 1-8 Spell immunity? :rofl:

Cool concept, but honestly Sigil is full of magic. This is the kinda thing you expect in Amn. Literally a character with this class should hate pretty much the entirety of Sigil... if they roleplay the class.

I left the description intentionally vague. While the class name may be provocative, a Mage Slayer does not have to be a mass wizard-murdering psychopaths any more then druids need to be eco-terrorists. They just have to, for one reason or another, forsaken the use of spells. I leave it up to players on finding the reason, but I've already seen multiple characters who this class would fit.

Examples of non mage-hatting Mage Slayers could be the knight who believes using magic in combat is dishonorable. Yet he won't go and slay mages any more then a paladin will go around and slay poison-using rogues. Another good example from actual cannon (FR) are Halruaan jordaini. Or a brutish barbarian that believes magic is a crutch for the weak.

That..that is so much SR. So. Much. I...are you sure? 45? Really?
Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

It's functional immunity against an ECL race. That's another thing to consider. A vampire
warlock has a maximum caster level of 24, ever. Even on a natural 20, that's a spell pen
check of 44. All it takes, then, for a Mage Slayer to become completely immune to said
character is to get a friendly mage to cast Energy Immunity: Acid. Drow are already bad
enough in this regard.

Ahh, now just need to create some new areas or mobs with this class. Might be a nice surprise once in a while for our vampire warlock community :>

A-and then you can use your nifty ability to become immune to Assay Resistance.

Vampire Warlock with Fiendish or Fey Heritage and Power has a CL of 25 and with 3 Spell Pins is a casterlevel 31 to Bypass SR and yes if you an ECL race then those SR pen are mandatory.

Anyways its Mage Slayer He should be able to shut down any magic User with ease. And guarentee Bigsby Forceful hand or grasping Hand scroll will be there friends for that immunity from I win Mage button* Personally I think there missing an Epic Dispell.

1) What Plaxy said, you can increase that CL... and you're playing a high ECL race, this tends to happen.

2) 10d6+ Eldritch Blast bypasses SR too, and you can't become immune to magic damage. My mistake.

3) Its not meant for PvP... any Mage/Sorceror worth their salt will start with a Mordekainen to remove the SR and then cast one of their many auto-win spells anyway.

This bug is fixed on SCoD

How will this class work with spellcastery classes like Gatecrasher? Will their use per day abilities still work?
Karn Scale-Rage = Let's feed the crows!
Van Darkholme = Feel the lash of the spanking! *whip noises*
Noramos Churston = Oh! That wasn't supposed to happen...
Shrub Conifer = Nature... Will rise against you!

Me alts got wiped so I'm making a new string of nut jobs. Enjoy!

If ever somebody needs help levelling, I always have a character in range... or delevellable.

Spell-like abilities from feats (Such as the Gatecrasher's abilities) will still work.
