[discussion re: astral barriers and spellcasting snipped]
>Steve K., what's your interpretation on the matter?

The official rule says an astral barrier adds its force to the TN of any
spell cast across it. If a spell simply intersects a barrier (e.g. you're
tossing a fireball and some of the targets happen to be behind a ward) then
that's how I handle it; the spell's TN is increased by the barrier's Force.

If you're specifically trying to break through an astral barrier in astral
combat, see the rules for doing so in the SR3 magic chapter.

Your milage may, of course, vary.
Steve
