Arcane Arrester says that when affected by a spell, she treats Force based effects at half actual strength.
Pretty straightforward it seems. But then it lists examples... and they are all offensive effects. My initial assumption was (and is) that it affects every spell that is dependent on force that affects the character. Is this correct? Second part. If the above is true, and assuming that characters with a Magic attribute can take arcane arrester, this means that, to get the same effect, a mage casting spells on himself needs to cast the spell at twice the normal force. Right? Third. It's not a typo that characters with a magic attribute can take it. I assume? Thanks. |
