Immune to both Charm, Emotion etcetera, but also to Healing, Cure Poison, Cure Disease spells AND to Strength. So that is quite a disadvantage if you ask me.[/QUOTE]That depends entirely on whether he can use items that duplicate those spells. If he cannot use potions of healing, or antidotes, or of health, or any of the of regeneration items, that is indeed a problem. But quite honestly, in the game the wife and I are playing, we have not taken a healing spell or a poison spell since Chateau Irenicus -- we just pop antidotes and pass around the rings of regen as needed. The Girdle of Hill Giant Strength is within spitting distance of Chateau Irenicus, so why bother with the wussy Strength spell? Not to mention that he is by definition a rolled up character, and
will have exceptional strength, anyway. Everyone in
our party would happily give up healing spells and poison spells for just immunity to psionics, let alone all the other bonuses...
Seriously, unless you take away the ability to use potions and items that have the same effects as the spells he has listed, this looks mostly like a laundry list to allow you to ignore for the most part the Improved Undead, the beholderkin, the illithids, the yuan ti mages, Improved Tor'Gal, Thrall Master, umber hulks, Koshi, Spirit Trolls, dragons, demons, demonic knights -- you know, pretty much everything in the game except kobolds...
