Does the +2 TN modifier apply to all tests, magic tests, or just casting spells?

So this is a new definition of 'all' is it? :rotate: Damage resistance not really a test then or is 'all' a set that never includes damage resistance.

Is that a poke at humor? The rule in the book was copied and pasted directly. The rule states all but normal damage tests. Would you like them to write down all the tests the +2 would apply? Take up valuable word count and the possiblilty of them missing one test and then having everyone bitch that doesnt make sense.
How much more clear can the rule be before people just accept it? |

So if its a spell cast above magic and does physical damage I dont get the +2, right?

You would get the plus 2 when you make the sorcery test, but for the drain, hmm, looks like a loophole to me. lol

what? no. taking physical damage from drain is still a drain resistance test.

Why should a TN modifier that is added due to the mental strain of sustaining a magic spell be applied to a Damage Resistance Test, where it is about your body trying to resist the nasty after-effects of getting hit by flying lead? Is not like concentrating harder will make the holes get smaller or anything. :D

How does one cast a spell "above magic"? ------------------------------- The general phrasing of the SR3 rule, "A on all cases of X, except when case Y," is a logical statement. |

By casting a spell with a force higher than one's magic rating, resulting in physical (rather than stun) Drain. |

You still get the +2 modifier on your Drain Resistance Test, you simply take Physical damage in contrast to Mental damage. Remember, Drain Resistance =! Damage Resistance. :) |

Oh! Casting a spell with a Force above the Magic Attribute. Gotcha! |

it's not applied to normal damage resistance tests. it's applied to drain resistance tests, whether the drain is stun or physical damage. |

You make it sound as if that should be something new to me...was my post so badly written that it appeared as if I don't know the difference? :? |

it sounded like you thought people were saying that the sustaining penalty applied to regular damage resistance tests, yes. i'd missed the post after that, sorry.
