Magic Missile
Hero:
By that logic, any spell that ignores SR and is enhanced by a metamagic feat should follow the same rule.
The Orb of X line of spells ignore SR because they create a bit of non-magical element rather than a magical energy effect (like most evocation spells). Does a maximized Orb of X make it susceptible to SR?
This is a slippery slope. I vote no.
Windblade:
It would only apply to magic missile because we modified magical missile from its original state anyway so I don't think there is a slippery slope at all. There were be no reason to even look at any other spells. Also most spells that ignore SR have nothing to do with the theory that is presented for magic missiles. The spells that ignore SR usually are conjuration and conjuration magic typically opens some sort of portal gate etc bringing a real object into being. Therefore when you are effected by the real object there would be no SR.
Asinjin:
I would not want to divide out spells, but I think you could make a case for certain metamagic feats altering all spells that normally ignore SR.
Asinjin:
Still up for debate: should magic missile and other spells that normally ignore SR be subject to SR if a 'fancy' metamagic feat is applied. Examples of these metamagic feats are:
- Exploding
- Entangling
- Fell Drain
- Forceful
Another possibility is that we add to these feats that a target's SR must be overcome for the purpose of the feat effect only.
So the choices are:
1 - no change, these feats and the spell they are attached to ignore SR
2 - if a spell that ignores SR has one of these feats applied, the target's SR applies to the spell and feat
3 - a spell that has one of these feats atteched ignores SR, but the feat attached must overcome SR to apply

I vote for choice #1.
