I don't get it, it seems that a high-end enemy like the Moridor box fiend will take no damage at all from some high-end spells. For instance I reloaded the game a number of times to try the Chain Lightning Storm on it, and I have yet to see it take any damage at all. On the other hand, Force Missiles or Swarm Curse worked pretty much every time. Is it a random thing?

I would very much like to be able to make informed decisions as to what spells to learn/prepare/use on difficult enemies. Like, when playing Kotor or Kotor 2, to break through saves I know I need a high Force DC, which I know exactly how to calculate (level, will and charisma bonus, Consular bonus etc). To break through Force Immunity I need Force Breach. And so on. Compared to that, I feel damn ignorant about how things work in PS:T.

So basically can someone explain the underlying mechanics to monster spell resistance please?

Well, it's all within the rules of the game, the spell can have the ability to avoid Magic Resistance(Immunity). I say it to be so, cause for example if you have Magic Resistance of 5%, you actually have 100% resistance 1/20 of the times.

The spells should have this in their descriptions, but at least in PS:T, I can't see it.

Hm, thanks.

It's the most ridiculous and anticlimactic thing, to spend something like a full minute staring at the (intended as) awesome animations of the Celestial Host level 9 spell. And then see both enemies I targetted (Glabrezu) make the save.
