I have to agree with "The DM is always right." It's his (or her) game, you're in his world, his word is final. Any decent DM wouldn't abuse this power. But if he felt that your nigh-magic immune barbarian was throwing game balance off, he's entitled to attempt to even the score. There are better ways than just saying "I'm the DM, so this spell works"... I believe 'Pierce Shield' is an 8th level spell that lowers %MR - that should work. If there are still problems with "It's the artifact's MR, not mine!" then target the artifact itself (and then come up with an explanation on how the enemy wiz knew to do that). Besides - lowering your MR by %20 - %30 for a few rounds isn't the end of the world, is it? Barbarians have fast movement for the occasional strategic retreat if things get bad [img]tongue.gif[/img]
