• Script Effect Always Applies: If not checked, script effects will be subject to resistances. For Example, a player with 50% magic resistance will be affected by a 30 second script effect for only 15 seconds unless this box is checked.
• Area Effect Ignores LOS: Normally an area effect spell must have line of sight from its center to the target in order to affect it. For example, hiding behind a pillar will protect an actor from a fireball. However, if this box is checked, intervening objects are ignored.
