WOIN OLD - Abjure - Breaching

[Shaun Palmer]

I'm confused as to how this works. The text says "This gives the target a +1d6 die bonus per 2 MP to attribute checks made to resist or breach a spell effect of the specified type", but how does that work when MAGIC attack are again DEFENSE stats, not opposed attribute checks?

What have I missed?

Personally I'd homebrew this as increasing your DEFENSE scores against magical effects of the appropriate type by 3. I suspect this was written when opposed checks were still on the table for active defenses, which have mostly been removed. I can't think of any resistance checks used in the final game off the top of my head except to resist diseases with the optional rule in EONS.

I think you might be right

Ah, maybe adjust the cost to 1mp and +2 defense so that it's basically the same as Shielding, except with a virtue or element instead of creature type.
