<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:House Rules]]<br />
Magic Resistance in Andrew's sagas does not keep out magical things like a force field. It prevents magic from affecting the magus.<br />
<br />
Two key principles:<br />
<br />
# Magic that doesn't affect the magus is not kept out. If a spell puts a tiny [http://www.redcap.org/page/Pink_Dot#The_Pink_Dot_Loophole pink dot] on someone's sword, the sword is not then kept from hurting the magus. A magus who is under the effects of a Longevity Ritual or a Muto Imaginem disguise is not kept from slapping another magus.<br />
# Having a Might Score does not make something magical. A dragon's teeth are not blocked by Parma Magica, but its breath would be.<br />
<br />
Some more clarifying examples:<br />
<br />
* A sword affected by ''Edge of the Razor'' would do damage like a club because its magically-enhanced edge can't hurt the magus. <br />
* A magically-conjured wolf could not bite the magus, but a wolf with a Might Score could.</div>AndrewG
