World Effects vs Resists/Shields

World Effects and Resists/Shields: If it doesn’t take a Shield
down why should it take a Resist down? I think they should both
be ‘used’ after 10 minutes if they are not taken down sooner by
a direct effect. Magic is very powerful already and it costs
mages less points for spell versions of the Shield then the
resists cost. When CP is spent for a specific thing, it should
be slightly less cost than a wizard spell that does the same
thing since it is less versatile.

What do you mean that it costs the mage less points for the
spell versions?

I would be okay with resists working against world effects, and
since I made the call (while I was on plot) that a resist charm
would not work against a world effect fear effect, that has been
reversed.
I think a fair change for now would be to make shields still not
break but allow a resist to last for for 10 minutes or a combat
scene, whichever comes first.

I would like to put forth that Shields/Resists should be
expended 'after' they have protected against a World Effect. The
idea that they 'go away' after the 'Scene'/Ten Minutes (or maybe
an Hour), they may be taken down 'before' the end of the Scene
by a direct attack, in which case they 'still' protect for that
scene.
Example: Siren singing (World Effect) players uses his 'Shield'
to protect against the charm. After the scene is over, the
person's Shield is gone.
Example 2: Siren singing (World Effect) player uses his Shield
to protect against the charm. During the encounter, the Siren
hits the person with a Charm spell, it takes down the person's
'Shield' at that point, but they are still protected from the
world effect until the end of the scene. (10 minutes or Hour)

I agree with everything but example 2. World effect is a
powerful form of magic so I like the fact that it would use up a
shield/resist after the scene. But If you get hit with another
spell say a charm spell and your shield is used up I don't think
that the world effect should still be negated. Ex. Someone is
screaming so loud that it would hurt you but you have ear plugs
in. Someone hits you and your ear plugs fall out, you are not
going to be protected from the screaming anymore because you
have no way to negate it. Now as for resist im not sure how we
could work that in. Maybe a resist would save you from the world
effect for the full 10 mins if you call it specifically for that
effect. But if you got hit by another charm effect you would
take that affect unless you resisted it too or had some means of
not taking it.
