Senses that can't normally sense Desolid

[John T]

A question that's been muddling about in my head ever since I tried to do this with HD and it wouldn't "let" me: Why can't Affects Desolid be bought onto senses that can't normally sense a desolid character, e.g. Sonar, the Smell group, presumably Radar (don't have the book at hand)? HD tells me it can only be applied to attacks and defenses (and I assume the book does, as well), and naturally enough I allow it anyway ("custom" modifiers... yay!). I was just curious about the "why" of it.

 

Thanks!

There's nothing in the rules that says you can't do that -- though the common sense and logic probably do. I doubt very strongly that most GMs would allow you to do what you're suggesting (I certainly wouldn't).
