Marc, I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to ask for a page reference
on that one.
But I'll contribute first:
<from "Combat", p 90 in the hardback>
Defender Resistance Test:
<how many dice you get>... The target number for this test is the Power
Rating of the attacking weapon, modified by any armor the character is
wearing. To determine that adjusted target number, simply subtract the
rating of the armor from the weapon's power."
<From Melee Combat, in Combat, p 102>
Damage Resistance Test:
"The character who was hit now attempts to resist the damage. He or she
rolls Body dice against a target number equal to the opponent's
weapon-modified Strength, minus the character's impact Armour rating."
So, here we have a ruling that doesn't mention wether or not Damage
modifiers come into play... But, as they generally do, I'd have to say they
are taken into consideration.
I do give you the Drain specific damage resistance:
<from Magic, p 132>
Drain Resistance Test:
"The target number is the Spell Force Rating, modified by the Drain
notation given with the spell's description. No target modifiers apply to
this test."
I still want to see the reference for the general case of Damage
Resistance, though...
