Ok, so if I'm reading this correctly, the "Affect" part (Mind + Will, which in Merin's case is 14) is a static number, that will be used in the same manner as base weapon damage, i.e., the "strength" of the attack.
So let's assume Merin rolls a 62 on the dice.
That would be:
62+10+10+1+3+4+10+1 = 101
And let's assume that the opponent's total resistance (including the die roll) comes out to 47.
101 - 47 = 54
Would that mean that the opponent takes 54% of 14 points damage to his mind?
(i.e., 14 x 0.54 = 7.56 = Round up to 8?) 8 points worth of mental damage from a Paralyze attack?
