Does the Rule of 16 use the modified or unmodified resistance value for a target? For example, if a character with Mind Control (Suggestion) has a score of 21 and the target's Will is only 15, but the suggested action gives the target a bonus for risking personal harm (+5), what score would the casting character use? Does the rule of 16 apply before or after the bonus from suggestion is figured? Would the caster being rolling against 20 (target's will plus bonus) or 16 (rule of 16)?
