I am in a bit of a tough game at the moment, hunted by an army, blacked for murder of 6 soldiers, have a tough well equipped evil high level group chasing me and causing lots of trouble.
So I thought of an idea but don’t know if it would work, I am an epic level cleric.
Plan is let them find me. Where I am buffed up as much as I can.
Cast Spell Immunity, Greater, have antimagic field as my immunity and then cast antimagic field on myself. So my thought is the field still works but doesn’t not affect me and I can then take the fight to the group and kick the crap out of them lol
Am I pulling at straws??

| What does this evil group consist of? What army chases you? What area are you currently in? |
The driving force in the multiverse is evil, for it forces good to act. |

Spell immunity affects the subject on whom it's cast, not any outgoing spells, thrown objects, etc. Probably not attached area effects either. I don't think spells should pass through antimagic even if they can be cast there in the first place. Thus, in average interpretation spell immunity would do nothing at all due to being suppressed - as well as the spells that would otherwise affect the subject, anyway. At worst, it would only allow incoming immediately targetted spells, and at best, also allow to cast at oneself.
Also, FR passed antimagic shell in its magical "arms race" long ago. It's tough, but for high-level wizards isn't such a big deal. Aside of simply moving mundane dangers (stones, burning oil) into it, there are ways of destroying it outright: Cleaving (lesser version 7 level; "Secrets of the Magister"), Spell Shear (?; "Elminster in Myth Drannor"), Unbinding (9 level; "The Cult of the Dragon"). It can also be scrambled with a wild magic stone (like a red wizard did in "Silverfall"). |

| Been a long time since I thought through 2nd edition logic, so take this with a grain of salt. It should work if basically you're looking to buff yourself and not use offensive magics. So, if you can melee your opponents and your worry is about incoming magic, good idea. If that's not your end goal, it may debilitate you too much. My uses of spell immunity with anti-magic were geared more toward getting through magically trapped areas, making sure I'm not scried upon, for facing opponents who can't melee me, etc... |

| Well we play 3.5, what I have done is turned my cleric in to very strong fighter. For the start I picked metmagic feats, quicken, extend, empower, once I hit epic I picked feats to get me to 13 level spell slots and make my spells 24 hours. The big disadvantage the dm puts me up against npc that are super powerful. So what mostly happens is they try to dispel me or in silence all the time or both. If I am dispelled I am screw. The guys I am fighting, one has ac 73 Rogue), fighter has over 70 to hit and does some big damage too. They all have teleport as free action and all telepathic bond. I am always walking into their traps even when I know it’s a trap. So I need to separate them and take out the cleric first, have to get rid of the healer and buffer.... but how? So that why I was asking about anti magic field. Thought if might work, I need to stop him dispelling me all the time |

My advice use his magic somehow to fake your own death.

to my knowledge, they fixed the broken nature of using spell immunity with anti-magic field in 3rd edition. Basically, the greater spell immunity spell works if spell resistance applies, and in the case of anti-magic field in 3rd edition, the only mention of spell resistance is with summoned creatures. Give that the "spell resistance" entry on anti-magic field only says "see text" and not "yes", it implies that you can't use spell resistance to cast spells while in an anti-magic field.
Now, in 2nd edition, this did work based on the wording of the spells. |

just another straw against this in 3rd edition, there's a 9th level spell (invoke magic) that enables you to cast within dead magic or anti-magic field for a single round. Its in lords of madness. Higher level spell, a lot less duration, and a lot less versatile. Definitely one spell worth extending with a rod or something.
If you're a mystic theurge in service to Mystra, there's also the initiate of Mystra feat. |
