I do. In actuality, I turn the penalties into bonuses and bonuses into penalties. For example, since Elves have a -5 to resist Chan/Ess/Ment, that means magic can effect them easier. Thus, when performing such things as Attunement, Sense Power, Detect Reality Warp, etc. it is actually easier for them to do such. Dwarves, who have a +40 vs. Ess, would actually, have a -40 on such skills.
Make sense?
