[RPM] Altered Resistance
Is there a RAW way to give a particular group (or everyone!) a bonus to resisting a specific ritual? It seems that an easier-to-resist ritual should require less energy, but I'm not sure how to implement this.
I'm thinking of something like a ritual that causes a target to become infatuated with you; targets resist normally if they are attracted to your gender, or at +4 if not.

Re: [RPM] Altered Resistance
This deviates some from RAW, but applying certain Limitations to rituals can be appropriate for lowering their cost. In this case, Resistible gets a further -5% for every +1 to HT, so it follows that you could apply this -5% per +1. To make it specific to a gender, I'd handle it as +4 to HT -20%; -4 to HT for opposite gender +16% (-4 HT is +20%; opposite gender only is -20%, so apply Limiting Enhancements). Total is -4%.
Note this should only be allowed on offensive rituals, not for buffs or the like. Giving the target +10 to resist is arguably worth -50%, but not if it's a ritual nobody's going to try to resist anyway. |

There are intentionally no rules for applying limitations to bring down energy cost because it is very very very easy to abuse such things -- even unintentionally. I urge extreme caution before house-ruling this; at a minimum, consider cutting the limitation value in half and not allowing it to stack with Traditional Trappings. (Though please don't construe these suggestions as an endorsement.)
