Default Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: Magic Resistance

Since the release of Powers, Improved Magic Resistance has been replaced with Magic Resistance (Discriminatory, +150%). I should probably charge +200%, but I think Improved Magic Resistance is overpriced.

I'm not a fan of Static and Magic Resistance interfering with your own abilities. They seem like they should be special limitations and not the default.
Your Innate Attack doesn't need to blow through your DR...

Discriminatory is for Mana Damper/Enhancer, not for Magic Resistance.

Also for Static! You're absolutely correct, but I just ported it on over.

DF20 has Selective Magic Resistance, +150%, which only applies to hostile magic, but remains incompatible with Magery, etc.
Wait, so that means Improved Magic Resistance affects benevolent spells? Looks like I've been doing it wrong...

I like the idea of being resistant to magic but insensitive to it for that very reason, but you're definitely right that it makes more sense as a limitation than as the default.
