Mm, I'd say that 1 through 9 are purely DFRPG questions.

Ravens n' Pennies has a blog post that makes an attempt at breaking down those "Tricky Advantages". I've seen a few different folks use it.
Yes, that's the sort of thing I knew was floating around somewhere. Thanks!

Honestly... I think the two stack. I'd certainly do that in my games. so you spend 4 points to get a +2 with mental strength, and the rest of the time you buy mind shield.
Right. Which is why I'm scratching my head: past that initially cheaper resistance from Mental Strength, there seems to no reason to buy any further levels, when levels of Mind Shield will do the same and more. (Or possibly no reason to buy Mental Strength at all, as its initially lower cost is offset by limitations that Mind Shield doesn't face.)

I suspect there's some point to Mental Strength that I'm not seeing.

Thanks for the comments!
