например сопротивление Affliction.
Тогда Margin of Failure определяет длительность.
Если я правильно понмаю, то в этом случае применятся правило 16-ти:
Цитата(B349)
The Rule of 16
If a supernatural attack (magic spell, psi ability, etc.) offers a resistance roll and the subject is living or sapient, the attacker’s effective skill cannot exceed the higher of 16 and the defender’s actual resistance. If it does, reduce it to that level.
Example: A wizard has an effective skill of 18 with his Mind-Reading spell. If he tries to read the mind of someone with a Will of 16 or less, he rolls against 16. If his subject has a Will of 17, he rolls against 17. And if his target has a Will of 18 or higher, he rolls against 18.
То есть нужно кидать не против 20 , а против 16, и тогда при 17 уровень неудачи - 1, а при 18 уровень неудачи - 2, как ты и написал
