Dr Divago Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi all in the last session, PC was attacked by a modified AoE version of Metal's Doom spell (FHG 85) basically, the spell "weakens with rust and sometime also destroy it" metals object; effect is a RKA who just damage metals modified version i used was 4m radius area, and stated it only affect rustable metals (so it affect iron and steel but not gold and silver nor magical items) ok it rusted away focus and armors and weapons etc. but then they "i pick the one i got inside the backpack"... so problem arose: this spell will affect objects inside backpack? at full strenght, lesser strenght, or not at all? special effect is it affect metals with rust; i stated it affect metal "element" so doesn't need to see them...

I could see this going either way, depending on SFX. Personally, I would require that a spell have the Indirect advantage to affect objects through a material the spell itself doesn't effect, the same way I wouldn't let a Fireball spell harm enemies on the other side of a wall unless it broke through it.

CrosshairCollie Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Re: AoE attack damage inside the backpack Unless the backpack is something akin to a Bag of Holding, I would say it would affect materials inside the backpack. If I have an attack that weakens your bones, it seems silly to claim immunity because your bones are beneath your skin, and the power doesn't affect skin.
