Hi Steve, quick question:
Rules Q 1: Is it possible to buy Force Wall that has 0 DEF vs both "regular" and "exotic" defense?
Rules Q 1a: Since a FW w/o "Regular" DEF is transparent vs ED and PD, and a FW w/o "Exotic" DEF is transparent vs PowD, MD, and FD, is a completely DEFless FW transparent to everything?
(The primary reason to do this would be to apply the "Opaque" qualities possible with FW.)

For example, when trying to convert over L's Tiny Hut from 3e D&D I end up with something like this:
<table>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top">17  </td><td><b><i>L's Tiny Hut: </i></b>(Total: 60 Active Cost, 17 Real Cost) <i>The Hut:</i> Force Wall (; 5" long and 1" tall) (Opaque: Hearing Group, Opaque: Sight Group, Opaque: Smell/Taste Group), 1 Continuing Charges lasting 6 Hours each (+0) (38 Active Points); Extra Time, Only to Activate Constant or Persistent Power (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12); -3/4), Self Only (-1/2), Restricted Shape (Hemisphere) (-1/4), Concentration (1/2 DCV; -1/4), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4), Does not move with character (-1/4) (Real Cost: 11) <b>plus</b> <i>Nice & Cozy:</i> Change Environment 2" radius, 1 Temperature Level Adjustment, 1 Continuing Charges lasting 6 Hours each (+0) (10 Active Points); Extra Time, Only to Activate Constant or Persistent Power (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12); -3/4), Linked to Leomunds Hut (-1/2), Concentration (1/2 DCV; -1/4), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4) (Real Cost: 3) <b>plus</b> <i>Lights:</i> Sight Group Images, 1 Continuing Charges lasting 6 Hours each (+0), Increases Size (2" radius; +1/4) (12 Active Points); Only To Create Light (-1), Extra Time, Only to Activate Constant or Persistent Power (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12); -3/4), Linked to Leomunds Hut (-1/2), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4), Concentration (1/2 DCV; -1/4) (Real Cost: 3) [<b>Notes:</b> Evocation [Force]] </td><td valign="top" align="right"></td></tr></table>
(From the source, the Hut allows all attacks to pass through it and is not destroyed, whereas normally a Force Wall is destroyed by attacks which top its defense.)
Thanx!
