Here's another common one. For resisted tests replace "base TN
equals the opposing skill/attribute/force/etc" with "base TN equals
4". So, if a mage casts a mana bolt the TNs for both the mage and
the target would be 4, instead of the mage vs the target's willpower,
and the target vs the spell's force.
