Resistance Rolls

Most abilities that can affect an
unwilling subject offer the subject an
attempt to resist using an attribute,
skill, or supernatural ability. This is
sometimes a Quick Contest between
the attacking ability and the defender’s
resistance, in which case two special
rules apply:
1. The attacker must succeed to
win. He cannot win by having the
smallest margin of failure. If he fails
his roll, he loses automatically and his
subject does not need to attempt a
resistance roll.
2. The attacker must win to affect
the subject. All ties go to the defender.
