I could be wrong but I think in the 2nd Ed ADnD Handbook dwarves get magic resistance because they are so stubborn.

"Ennui barbarian: where rage powers are just a side effect of existential dread."

Zahnradfee
See, that's why you carry a taser.
applesforjuice
I've definitely read different books where not believing in magic gives you huge resistance or immunity to it
talanthalas11
Makes me think of Dwarves in Dragonlance. Naturally magic resistant cause they're to stubborn to be affected or something like that.
StuckInBetweeen
So... black clover and a dozen other generic animes
Yellowchopsticks
Use magic to light something on fire, then magic to throw it.
gotmyth101
There was an xanth novel with a similar principle except his magic was to nullify magic, so no one could prove magic existed to him.
Durendal5150
Had a character like this once. From a world where magic wasn't real. Learned it extensively out of paranoia and spite. Miss playing her.
borderlandsman
friendship is magic and magic is heresy and heresy means death
crateholio
Sounds like a Discworld storyline
megatool
I will accept it, if the person also has a voice like lumpy space princess
SkipperShaybear
You should watch dorohedoro or read the manga , heh.
AintNoRestForTheWookie
I read a fantasy series a while back where dwarves were like this. They hated arcane magic to such a degree that it flat out didnt work>

Mage: The Ascension has something like this where basically bad stuff happens if you do magic that common people don't believe could happen
Delathi
Changeling: The Dreaming also has the Autumn People who are such stick-in-the-mud boring that fairies can't use magic if they are nearby.
Cogneesant
Genius: The Transgression has Clockstoppers who nullify mad science, and regular science which raises some difficult ontological questions.

Wasn't there a story about a bunch of Orks killed by Guardsmen who just pointed guns and shouted "BANG!" after they ran out of ammo?
KobaandChurchill4eva
nah, it's just a joke. People grossly overestimate what orks actually can do. It's "just" making their tech work and red go fasta.
CelticCommando
Gunner Jurgen is that you?

OzzyKnight
"le college invisible" Literraly one of the antagonists spent 8 years learning magic so he could master the "I hate magic spell".
confanity
If anime has taught me anything, it's that that's when the wizard just turns the ground under the guy into water and then back into ground.
Hellscourge
That is when you turn the floor to lava. He might be immune to magical lightning, but the lava is real. conuration =! evocation.
PowwerOrb13
Hit him with a pit phantasm or force cube. Whether or not you believe it, air still isn't moving through that cube

iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
Only faerie magic works like that. Other types of magic work whether you believe it or not. Fireball exists .dealWithIt
astrangehop
There's a couple others.
VaultGirl69
Explain? I'm genuinely curious.
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
General mythology. Mostly the magic that is based on belief is faerie lore. Even the "old gods" fade away when people stop believing
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
But nerd D&D RPG magic generally conjures real things so it doesn't matter if you believe, you still get hit with the spell
PowwerOrb13
To add to the other guy. Basically only Glamours, Illusions, and Phantasms require belief. All other magics alter reality.
PowwerOrb13
Chain lightning or Fireball create their effects in the real world, not in your mind. It's as real as a sword or a knife.
Eridianne
Obstinate ignorance is a magic all its own my boy
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
I still submit that barbarian rage creates a protective barrier which is closer to "more magic" than nullifying a cast at the source
MrStealYourGiF
That's why atheists have to be so rabid about it... for the smite proofing.
MikeArclight

Ghost0fDawn
Its called smite spite. You would know this if you weren't some dork wizard.
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
Faeries are dangerous and not at all like the propaganda. Do not clap for them and never say you believe out loud
Urgalicity
This and taking away the alter boys is how you make a priest cry.
Zulljin4
I give your, or any other, God full permission to smite me completely at any moment and send me to it's version of hell for eternity.
EmpathyIsMyReligion
What if this is it? Many Religions believe in cycles of death and rebirth. This could be but a pitstop.

No. That shirt is just... wrong

Zulljin4
I play Defoe gifs on repeat on my extra monitor at work. You're going to have to do better than this.
KinetoPlay
In Final Fantasy Tactics if you don't believe in magic it doesn't work on you. So no damage from fireballs, but also no healing spells.
relsky
That's... well goddammit you're right...
dunkum09
I was going to mention that. It's been a while, and I'm not sure I fully understood it at the time, but I thought that is how Faith worked
CaptainFrog
VivTheKitsune
Tactics is such a fantastic game
HighImpactSexualViolence
How does magic effect terrain? If you get an entire city of people who don't believe in magic is the city ITSELF immune to magic?
SecondAccountforDoingOtherShit
"Tom...is your house on fire?" "Nope! Some mage came by yelling fireball but Im actually chilly!" "I guess the wood was superstitious then."
LupusLilium
Reminds me just how fucked up Tactics Advanced is. Full on battle in the middle of a city and fire off god-summons and major magic? No one
LupusLilium
dies. Happen to slip in a simple battle in the Jagds and not get revived? Whoops perma death.
SkunkMom
And remember, that's apparently how Mewt wants the world to be.
LupusLilium
That poor kid just had -so- many issues. The Judge system being just like the least of it.
SilverPossum
You could get that effect permanently if your faith got too low. Same with being a literal chicken if your bravery was too low.
SilverPossum
That game was a masterpiece.
relsky
It really was.
OctopusSummoner
Barbarians have some weird-ass rage powers. Just getting so angry that magic doesn't work on them is one. I'd like an ennui barbarian.
IlluminaBlade
I bet it's primal level psionics like Warhammer 40k Orks.
Cronos51101
Lol, path of the storm... Literally too angry to drown.
Amythyst
PF2e superstition instinct barbarian.
Duraxis
Pathfinder barbarians can take that, the “superstitious” version I believe. They hate it so much it deflects off their abs
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
You can in pathfinder. So angry that magic straight won't affect you with certain rage powers.
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Fighters can also take a weapon training feat which allows them to knock away spells.
JackHL01
wasn't there a Sith, who was to angry to die? Also a red lantern to eraged to do so?
kilobet12
Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Sion the pissed off?

Glad I could help! Seriously, though, read the wookiepedia article on Darth Sion. Dude is cray cray
LordPigeon
So basically saitama?
dohcohv
Gnome totem barbarian. Gnome has advantage on all saving throws for Wis, Int, Cha against magic. Bear totem barb has magic resist.
dohcohv
Danger sense gives advantage on dex saving throws, raging gives advantage for str saving throws. Gnome bear totem barbarian is a tough SOB.
dohcohv
Resistance to magic and advantage on ALL saving throws. Team up with a paladin and hunt mages.
SiegwardOfCatarina
High level totem barb who took the resiliant feat 4 times and mage slayer instead of any ASIs
BrutisShootis
In 5E at least I'm pretty sure you can only take resilient once. I'm fun at parties. If totem barb exists elsewhere I'm ignorant to it.
NairouTryyshokk
Pathfinder.
Fillask
Correct. Elemental Adept is, I think, the only feat you can pick multiple times. It's a common mistake/houserule to do so with Resilient.
Eldis
What are you on about? You absolutely can take Resilient again, you just have to pick another ability score. Your variation is the home rule
Eldis
Swear on me mum the internet is full of people who have no idea what RAW, RAI and home rules are and how they differ.
BrutisShootis
You really shouldn't swear on your mum like that without doing the leg work first man, she doesn't deserve that.

P165 of the PHB states, under Feats, "You can take each feat only once, unless the
feat’s description says otherwise" RAW

What D&D nerd goes to parties?
anthrolover6
What is D&D if not a nerd party?
BrutisShootis
One's where you have to roll for initiative
RossiferTaylor
Just LAN parties
HafCoJoe
Is it even considered a party if there isn't one?!

No, they are the parties.
