immunity to magic

I dont think that immunity to magic should cover potions, only
cast magic

Then by that logic scrolls shouldn't be included either. And per
the wording of potion making is only stop by resists and can't
be stopped by a shield. Potions should remain where they are as
included by Resist/Immunity Magic.

Then maybe potions shouldnt be technically magical after made.
People who are immune to magic should have more ways than
alchemy to heal

Or they could just by resists till the cows come home. It's
Immunity to Magic it has its benefits and its drawbacks. It is
already a powerful skill it doesn't need to be made more
powerful by adding a loophole for potions.

I have mixed feelings on this one. Personally I think it strange
someone who is Immune to Glamour can not be turned Invisible but
at the same time they can not See people who are made invisible
by Glamour magic. I can respect making the choice based on 'game
balance' however.
Ultimately it deals more with how things occur. Is 'alchemy'
Magic placed in a bottle or a form of Medicine that aids the
body in healing?
As it stands, with Natural Armor and the skill to 'fix it',
person could do fairly well for themselves with an Immunity to
Magic. I realize the skill to repair natural armor is Italicized
but I am not sure how big a deal that is. (How many Italicized
skills are currently in players/npc hands?) I can imagine a
number of ways it could be manipulated to be broken. Personally
I think First Aid is a very under-utilized ability and Natural
Healing abilities are in the game and fairly cheap if you find a
way to justify them. (My guess is Plot would not OK a natural
heal/immune to magic concept, but there is not a rule against
it)

As far as Alchemy goes, it is just a chemical reaction. A recipe
you can follow as long as you have the skill to do it.

Because the effect of the magic is on the person it is cast on
not you. It isn't like Obfuscate from oWoD where the effect is
on you from the vampire to cause you to forget them. Since the
factor that is causing you not to see them is external
Resist/Immunity to Charms (Glamour) wont help you any.

Immunity is a double bladed sword. On one hand you can't take
any nasty effects. On the other, you can't take any good ones
either. My only concern is that a person that is immune to
magic can't be renewed by any method. (Unless there's something
that throws out natural life effects)

We could get someone with enhanced alchemy to research an
alchemical renew. But I kind of like the fact that immunity is
so double sided. If you were a pure level lvl 8 warrior with
immune to magic, you would be a monster on the battlefield as
long as you were good enough to not take much damage, so
basically a shield.

Immunity to magic should stay where it is; if you want a way to
renew someone immune to magic, play an alchemist and research
Aqua Vitae (Alchemical Renew)
