Penetrating Attacks


C-Note

Question

Hi Steve,

 

For the "Penetrating" advantage, there is an option in the rules (6E1 342) that states "At the GM’s option, the target may take a minimum of 1 point of effect for every Damage Class in the Penetrating power."

 

Does this mean that:

 

A.  "1 point of effect" is absolute, so a 2DC Penetrating attack will do either 2 STUN minimum (for a Normal attack) or 2 BODY minimum (for a Killing Attack).

 

or

 

B.  "1 point of effect" refers to Character Points, so a 2DC Penetrating attack will do either 4 STUN minimum (for a Normal attack) or 2 BODY minimum (for a Killing attack).

 

Thanks, Steve.

I don’t currently have access to all of my books and materials, which have been packed up as part of my home renovation project, so I reserve the right to edit or change this answer at a future time. ;)

 

The text in question refers to points of damage, so in your examples, A is correct.

 

EDIT:  I overlooked the actual rule that's already in the book:  A is correct for Normal Damage; see 6E1 342 for the rule about determining the BODY.
