I was hoping someone could tell me how weave resistance would work. The best I can come up with is that it would work like a saving throw.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're talking about the Gholam's ability, or Mat's medalion, the weaves just don't touch them. There is no real mechanic for it, it just doesn't work. If you're talking about another type of resistance, it's probably a bonus to whatever save is needed against the weave in question.

Stupidity is not a crime, so you're free to go.
Normal people frighten me. I've never heard of freinds or relatives of serial killers saying, "He was crazy, I knew he was going to snap sooner or later and start killing people". They always seem to say, "He was such a nice normal young man", etc. Atleast with crazy people, you know to watch your back!

Weave resistance is a relic from D&D thrown in just in case they came out with another WoT book that dealt with it. In D&D, it works like this: Spell resistance has a rating, like 15 or 22 or 47. The caster rolls 1d20 + caster level and if he gets higher than the rating of your spell resistance his spell gets through and affects you. If not, his spell is wasted. There are 'Weave Breakers' in UtDB that work off this same set of rules. I'm pretty sure this is how weave resistance would work if it were outlined in the WoT book.

Thanks. I'll check out the weave breakers but it sounds pretty straight forward.
