Caster Check
Caster check is a general term used to describe making a skill check in order to use a magic spell to 'do something' against a bad guy. This can be wrestling your magical effect through a monsters spell resistance, or using a grease spell to Disarm an Orc, or making tentacles do...stuff... to a whole roomful of demons.
- If you are a caster, you must sometimes make caster check, either to overcome a target's Spell Resistance (SR), or to resolve spells which emulate combat maneuvers.
Roll a Bailiwick Skill Check against the Spell Resistance or Maneuver Defense of your target(s).
- Some feats, such as Spell Penetration (Feat), can be selected to improve your caster checks.
- The target DC of this check is usually the creature's Maneuver Defense, but it can sometimes be a Challenging skill DC. It never targets a saving throw DC (if you see this, the content needs to be fixed).
