Hoi,

About Armor spells the target number is listed as four inside of
the ShadowRun Screen. I would guess because you areusually casting it
on a willing targetbut everything has some inherent resistance to
manipulation spells. I'm at school and don't have any books right now
but thats theway I remember it.

I would think that because Armor is a physical spell it would require a target
number equal to the bod of the person that it's being cast upon. If that
person has dermal plating and cyber out the wazoo it's harder to knit the
tissues together because there aren't many. However, if the guy's just a mage
or something their bod is usually prettly low. So it should be easier to knit
the tissues.

=> About armor spells. The target number according to (and how I always played)
=> the shadowrun gaming screen is four. This is due inpart because the subject
is
=> willing so if it is
=> higher than four it is benificial but lower than four harmful. You have to
=> remember manipulation spells are the most powovful and evevything has some
=> natural resistance to it no matter how helpful the spell might be.
=> Just because this is now your natural harmonic state.

All physical spells have a target number equal to the opponent's body.
The fact that a willing subject is required was taken care of in the spell's
drain code. Check out spell design in the Grimoire.
