Someone asked me when you reduce the barrier rating of an object do
you.....
1.Reduce the adjusted rating of the object.
2.do you reduce the actual rating of the barrier?
I told him to reduce the adjusted barrier rating but when I went back and
looked at the rules again I was not to sure. I want to make sure I told him
the right answer. The rules were a little lacking in that department. Sorry
Mongoose but they were.

I believe any effects reduce the actual barrier rating as any "adjusted"
barrier ratings are used for target numbers and effects of power vs rating.
A rating 5 doubled (for some spells) to a 10 is reduced by 1 rating is now a
4(8). It wouldn't make much sense to reduce the adjusted barrier rating as
it's only for certain effects. ie you might have one PC casting a spell at a
door and another shooting at it, one using Rating 5 the other 10 each
reducing it by one for each other makeing it a 3 and a 6.

I've always assumed no. 2, the actual rating. So in those cases where the
adjusted rating is double the actual rating, a one-point reduction would
actually drop your TN for breaking down the barrier by 2.
