Re: Rule of 16 - What's the Point?
To note something about Rule of 16, if the target's resistance is 16, you will never have a higher than 50% chance of your spell working. That is a huge deal for PCs who like being alive. I like a bunch of house rules I've seen on the subject (auto resist on crit instead of Rule of 16 was really cool), but all of them heighten the chances of someone, especially with a somewhat high resist score, of failing.
Hmm, if you made spells (and such) into Regular Contests, you probably don't need Rule of 16, and that can make using some abilities really cool in combat (gotta continue focusing! I know I'm about to break through!).
