Shadowfall is tagged to ignore Strength buffs and debuffs. You can buff it with enhancements, but not with global (player) strength changes. Most powers that have a +Res component to them are tagged this way to prevent damage buffs on the player from simultaneously increasing the Resistance buffs.

In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
Yeah. And, after scanning the page for a while I finally see where RedTomax notes that in power descriptions.
Good to know.
