But then if the warrior is a theist he will be at a penalty for resisting the wrong otherworld.  

The thing I have problems with is for magical attacks like for example throwing a thunderstone. You can either use the mundane Throwing skill and augment with Hurl Thunderstone Feat or use the Hurl Thunderstone augmented by your throwing. Your opponent still resists with his dodge missile or weapon and shield. There is no difference or advantage to either way.

But when jumping over a tree then there is a huge difference between a mundane lead ability and a magical one.
