Okay, these
may well be dumb questions, but I can't find the answers in
the source book so here goes.....
What is weave
resistance? I see that all weaves either have yes/no, but I
cannot find anywhere that says what it is.
Also, seems
to me to be totally overpowered to just learn a spell through
one weavesight roll but as far as I can see, you roll the
dice, and if you make the difficulty you learn the spell.
Seems too easy to me, especially when I currently have 2
initiates and someone soon multiclassing into wilder all with
different spells. I was thinking of making it that my players
would have to take a week, or 2 weeks less their wisdom to
figure the spell properly.
Any thoughts anyone...or am
I just being dumb???
thanks ![[Smile]](Wizards_Com Boards weave resistance & learning weaves_fichiers/smile.gif)

First off
they can only learn it if it is a 0 or 1st level spell or is
in one of their talents. and remember, just becaue they learn
it, doesnt mean they can cast it yet. also.. note that females
can not see the male half and vice-versa, so males and females
can not learn off each other. The characters in the book learn
weaves like this all the time. people have been saying for a
long time channelers are a bit overpowered, but that is how
they are in the books too.

It doesn't matter. Nothing has weave
resistance.

There are
several factos which make learning weaves much more difficult
than it would seem by looking at the rules alone.
A
major one is that outside of Tar Valon, openly using the One
Power can draw unwanted attention very
quickly.
Children of the Light (and those sympathetic
to them), followers of the Prophet, and Seanchan are hostile
to all channelers. Aes Sedai are often hostile to non-Aes
Sedai (though younger female wilders will probably be
encouraged to go to Tar Valon). Windfinders will go to great
lengths to keep others from learning that they can channel,
and it's not common knowledge that Wise Ones can
channel.
Another biggie is that senior members of
traditions (full Aes Sedai, Wise Ones, Windfinders, and
Asha'man) will try to protect their charges, and won't teach
them things that they don't think they're ready for. No Aes
Sedai will show an Accepted how to bond a Warder, because the
girl might do it, and that would just get her in trouble (and
annoy the man, who probably wouldn't like spending the rest of
his life bonded to someone
else).

If it did though, what would it do?
weave resistance was an ability that they were thinking
of using for some monsters and other effects (golum's one
power immunity, the fox head medalian, ect)
however
late in the process they desided to drop it, but then thought
about it and desided to leave the weave resistance line in the
books incase they added the ability later.
it is ONLY
there for forward combatability and has NO game
effect.
now what it is, some creatures can have the
ability weave resistance, it works like this: monster has
'weave resistance: 15' you are a chanaler and are trying to
cast a weave on that monster, the weave is 'weave resistance:
yes' so you roll a d20, add your chanaler level, if that is 15
or greater then you effect the monster, if not then your weave
has no effect.
for more information look up spell
resistance in DnD
