I really like how Magic Resistance is a quality that can be taken exclusively by mundane character's. I've always had a problem with mundane's relying on awakened characters to provide them with counterspelling dice.
So much so, infact, that I was immensely pleased when we house-ruled a 'Magic Resistance' complimentary knowledge skill (TN: 4, every 2 successes achieve 1 success on a spell resistance test) into Shadowrun 3rd edition. But I've often wondered if it would be that far fetched to increase the amount of immunity to magic they're capable of. One thing that has come up for discussion involves something that in practice works very similiar to a foci, is bondable by Mundanes, and provides dice to spell resistance tests. Another option is something similiar to injected nanites that circulate through a mundane's bloodstream, bonding with their aura, and likewise, increasing spell resistance dice. Thoughts? |
