Beneficial effects from the Deck of Many Things can fail due to Magic Resistance and/or Globe of Invulnerability

[aVENGER_(RR)]

Several beneficial effects that can be obtained from the Deck of Many Things can fail if the user has a high Magic Resistance and/or if he is encased in a Globe of Invulnerability. Most of the effects which fail due to this are merely cosmetic but some permanent stat bonuses can also be lost this way. Here's the fix:

 

// The beneficial effects of the Deck of Many Things should bypass the user's Magic Resistance and/or Globe of Invulnerability
