Effect

The effect is the end-point for most attacks in the game. It determines what impact an attack will have on an enemy. For the majority of attacks, the effect is simple damage. However, gear and other attacks built using FX with the attack type can have different unique effects (including those built with Inflict). Numerous other FX require a character to roll to resolve their effects versus an opponent's appropriate Resistance.
In order to resolve an effect, after successfully resolving the Attack roll, roll you ranks in the effect (called your Effect Modifier) against the target's appropriate Resistance.
Effect Modifier is limited by your game's power level. The total of a particular attack's Effect Modifier plus the Attack modifier for that attack cannot exceed 2x the campaign's power level.
