Drow SR changes not quite working

Flailer, thanks for fixing the drow SR issues but when I logged in to check it out today, I found that something is still up with it.

When I rest, my SR jumps up to 39 (lvl 34 + 5). However, when I finish resting, my SR drops down to 30 again.

seems to be working for me. my level 25 svirfneblin has rock solid SR 30. she now loves flailer (but still wishes her +4 ac wasn't deflection, but you can't have everything).

I found that when I logged in with Gnomish (he's a Svirf) I had a level to do.
So I did my level and noticed after that when I rested the SR increased icon showed up at the top right, but when I finished resting it disappeared.
I tried resting again and samething happened.
So I logged off, logged back on and that seemed to do the trick, the SR icon stayed up.
However my SR didn't change from it's 30. Which makes sense if it takes the best from either the subrace item or the new database method. Gnomish is only level 24, 5+24=29. The 30 from the items is better so I haven't noticed any changes yet except for the icon showing up in the top right. I guess I'll see a change in 2 more levels.

When I first started Gnomish the given SR for the subrace was 10+character level. Is the new 5+PClvl meant to adhere to the latest official D&D rules or something?
I like my 10+PClvl a lot better. Especially considering that 5+PClvl is rendered useless in equal level situations. Casters getting their spell pen. feats.

I've tried the same thing and when I log back in, my SR is still 30. The only time it jumps to 39 is when I am resting.

Maybe if I take off all my gear, rest, and put all my gear back on, then it will stay at 39... I'll try it.

Made some changes this morning - subraces are back to current level +10 (not +5 as before).

It's still having problems setting it on server log in, but if you rest, it should set your SR correctly. Looking for the problem with that...

Also, Mord's still reduces SR by -10. It probably shouldn't, but not a huge deal if it does. Still looking into that too...

After your other fixes this morning, the SR is working (except for the -10 from Mord's).

Maybe add something somewhere that when mords hits a subrace it does the normal -10SR BUT then a +10SR is added till end of spell duration.
Editing the mord's spell itself would be easier then trying to fiddle with subraces to resolve this issue?

Dunno how that happened... Probably jsut because I jsut woke up!!!

But a note on the SR application.

I noticed that if you log on to the server with the same character all the time, you don't get hit with having to hit 4 to get on...

I tried logging on, hit 4, used the book to save myself, logged out, logged back in with same character to avoid having to hit 4, and the SR was applied properly.

Just a little something that might be useful in debugging.

Hes saying that on a fresh login the SR doesnt apply properly, but on consecutive logins it keeps its persistancy.

I watched a bit more and it is seems that even with different characters you can log into same area fine.
But if they aren't in same area you are more likely to have to hit 4 because the welcome screen pops up.

Okay - that's helpful. Thanks - I should be able to track it down with that info. Will look at it tonight.
