    how will shadowkeeper work? i thought it only viewed characters?

    i checked through that other link. great stuff. but i don't see anything special about the rakshasa. they are supossed to be immune to 7th lvl and lower spells yet they have no MR. i am really surprised at their base AC and their # of attacks
    any idea what "Recovery Time 60" means?

    Shadowkeeper can also view creatures however it doesn't really give much more information than the first link.

    MR is seperate to immunity to spells by level. I believe (but don't know for sure) that their spell immunity is applied to them as a global variable or an affect rather than some innate property. The 0% MR just means that spells they are not immune to have no chance of being resisted.

    Recovery time 60 is related to the morale. I assume from the context that it is the time from them having a morale failure and either berserking or running away and them recovering from that morale failure.

    Suspect that one of the modders who frequent the boards might be able to help you further.

    Some monster ablities&immunities are granted by undroppable items equipped. Look for inventory of a certain nasty monster. If it has a ring&weird weapon named skull&something else equipped with no explanation text, that does the trick. You may need to use another game editor to see the spesific qualities of those items. (ie: paralysing or poisonous attack, various immunities granted, etc.)

    Near Infinity is far more useful than Shadow Keeper for finding detailed information on monsters.

    As Silverstar says many immunities/resistances are granted via undroppable items.
