I just purchased this book, and I am really intrigued by some of the powers it introduces. There are some cool mechanics here, especially powers that target spell effects.

However, I see some powers referencing a mechanic called Reality, listing percentages, but this system is never explained as far as I can tell.

Does anyone have any experience with this book? What do these Reality percentages mean, and how do they work?

Are they in reference to powers which create illusions? Some illusions have a "xx% real", which is the 'realness that is still applied on a save against the illusion.

For example would be an illusory rock that is 20% real. If you get hit by the rock and pass your will to disbelieve, you'd still take 20% of the rocks damage.

Yeah, I managed to figure it out on my own by referencing another of their books. I passed it on as a suggestion, and a fouple of the devs told me they would include it in an errata pass they plan on doing to the material.

I gotta say, apart from that little snafu their books are excellent!
