Re: Attribute N/A, Useful concept or not?
Can we make sure that when 'target' is used, 'resisted by' is not implied.
A Mind Chill targets IQ (Affliction: reduced IQ), but might be resisted by HT. A Mind Drain might target IQ and be resisted by Will. |

Good point. Many drugs could lower IQ or Will and be resisted by HT for another example.

But when you look at that in game terms, to me that^ almost seems like failing a fright check provides a bonus to resistance/recovery of soft drugs. |

Re: Attribute N/A, Useful concept or not?
I still haven't read the appropriate material from TS to make the cybershell references understandable (I promise I'll get to it, though), but the effects I mean are ones like an Affliction (of whatever type) with Based on IQ, when the target has IQ N/A.

Re: Attribute N/A, Useful concept or not?
I have been using "target" to mean "resisted by", since that is what the attacker is contesting with. What you call the target, I just call part of the effect.
