Has anyone had any luck with reduced points cost resistances and immunities for beig Spirit only? I see spirit less resistances are published, and with the advent of a published spirit only MR this seemed the next logical step.
How did you go about it - listing particular ones with a cost per line? Batching"may purchase resistance X, Y, Z" at 2/3 cost vs spirit only? Thanks for any thoughts Dave "trying not to spend 200pts on imm to freeze and paralysis" H |

Dave "trying not to spend 200pts on imm to freeze and paralysis" H These are effectively spiritual effects rarely do they come up as magical so the reality is no reduction - I applied for cheaper 1/2fx fire because spiritual fire doesn't exist and was told no the Spirit only races don't account for cheaper resistances... The one thing you will get is 1/2 FX Mantics from a Magic Source 100 / 150 pts |

Boo hiss.
Ok thanks for the input Ryan. I thought freeze as white mana spell was a high likelihood. Was worh asking! Do you know if the half effect magic based mantics includes resistance levels, or is it just damage? Dave H |

Just damage but it is an incredibly potent catch all immunity from my own experience of using it so don't let that put you off.. Applies to Mantic Sabre's / Swords of Power / Fire Blades as well as the damaging spell's themselves. Also when a mantic is non standard ask the Referee if it would apply - it has to be Magic or Spirit so 50% chance it will work... |

Grand
So I guess that means I still need, for example, to pay full cost for resistance to black mana to counter instant death magic based 'mantics like Anath's annihilation. |

(if they were to be cast mantically that is) -------------------- Grant.

Thanks for any thoughts Dave "trying not to spend 200pts on imm to freeze and paralysis" H Yes, Lee relatively recently passed me Draconic Resistances from Immunity to Magical Damage so I could buy the 1/2 Effect Colours of magic at a little bit of a discount.

I had an upgrade for the Spiritual one that gives resistance levels etc - it was +100pts. Worth it once you have 2-3 resistances -------------------- |
