I think a better question is, will the shielding scroll give a 4+ ward save to a spell that states no saves of any kind?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3859687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3859687.page GMT magic resistance
no armor save (but still ward OR regeneration)
no saves allowed (no armor, ward, regeneration)

Flaming, of course, will always remove regeneration saves.

And some abilities remove Look Out, Sir saves.


But a shorthand to armor/ward/regen is it has to cause a WOUND for it to actually save. Spells that don't cause wounds, there's nothing to roll against.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3862089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3862089.page GMT magic resistance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3868276.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3868276.page GMT magic resistance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3870829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3870829.page GMT Re:magic resistance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3871876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3871876.page GMT magic resistance
No one uses bolt throwers because cannons are vastly better now in 8th. But bolt throwers don't suck. They just suck by comparison. If they took off the 6th spell in every list, MR would jump in power tremendously.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3873099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3873099.page GMT magic resistance Dosen't help MR none, but it helps them be horde killers without them nuking important models so easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3873967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3873967.page GMT Re:magic resistance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874330.page GMT Re:magic resistance

At least the Ogre SM gets a LoS! (usually) vs Pit of Shades...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874362.page GMT Re:magic resistance

The Uber Spells ignore MR, and that's mostly okay with me. I mean, if a unit has MR, I think they might deserve to lose 13-50% less models, since they're still losing models and they paid for that special rule, but okay.
The problem I have with MR is that it is also ignored by Hexes and spells that don't specifically "target" the unit. They're resistant to magic, right? But that only means they don't get as badly burned my magical fire; they're just as susceptible to getting weakened by magic diseases or tangled in magic nets. Magic Resistance ought to count for something beyond magic missiles, especially since so few people use them anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874706.page GMT magic resistance
Magic Missiles make up the vast majority of hurt-you spells that aren't the ubers. Buffs and hexes are fine. Those are flavor and strategy and it's magic vs. magic dispelling (and you can just turn it off next round). You can't turn off dead--usually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3874863.page GMT magic resistance
That, and if I ever have a choice between a magic missile and an augment/hex, I'm going with the later, because they're basically always better. Direct damage is a sad family of spells in general.
I'm fine with casting big spells before little ones, but I wish that units with innate protection against magic were...protected against magic. Bonus dispel dice was a cool idea. It didn't cover everything, but I think it's a better choice than improved Ward saves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3875198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426939/3875198.page GMT
