Armour Degradation - Optional

If a character suffers a moderate physical wound or greater then their armour may be compromised. For each multiple that the power of the attack exceeds the rating of the armour reduce the armour by that multiple. Hardened body or vehicle armour is also subject to this rule but not critter armour.

Rules for Barriers

Grenades Compare twice the barrier’s rating against power of the blast. Compare against barrier effect table, if barrier falls reduce grenade blast by the original barrier rating.

Demolitions Using normal barrier rating, use demolitions test (TN 2) to increase the power of the explosives.

Firing Through Defender gets the barrier rating as additional armour. Attacker may well have a blind fire modifier. If the power does not exceed the barrier rating then a round is stopped dead but the barrier may be damaged (see barrier effect table). Against blunt attacks (ie fists) use normal barrier rating. Against edged attacks use twice the barrier rating.

Break Through Used to get through the door. For ranged attacks use twice the barrier rating. Against melee attacks use twice the barrier rating. Against normal combat spells use twice the barrier rating, for damaging manipulations use the normal barrier rating. Regular doors open when it’s barrier rating is reduced to 1/2. Security doors must be reduced to rating 0.

Missiles/Rockets Anti vehicular types use 1/2 barrier and 1/2 vehicle armour ratings. Treat HER as grenades, treat APR’s as flechette rounds.
