Default Re: Fearlesness, Fearfulness: Double Dipping - Why?

These traits are meant to "count double" in Contests, exactly as Magic Resistance does vs. Resisted spells. The idea is to make Fearlessness and Magic Resistance more meaningful against active attempts, where attacker skill can otherwise beat down resistance. Fearfulness and Magic Susceptibility work the same way for symmetry.
