Vehicle Armor and penetrating it. Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

So in my ongoing game, one of my PCs has a vehicle with an armor value of 9, a Lone Star Black Mariah. At first I thought nothing of it, but now that we've played a few sessions, my problem with it is this: To damage it, I need an attack with a power of 20, which more or less nothing has, and even then it would get staged down to a power of 1. And if I use AV rockets and missles, which are 16D, the van gets hit for 12D damage, which is more or less guaranteed to destroy it. Essentially, using the range of weaponry available to me in the books I have, my options are doing either nothing to the vehicle, or destroying it outright. The last couple missions, they just kind of drove around in circles and he either fired the turreted LMG or ran people over, laughing from inside at all the bullets and whatnot pinging off.

Pretty much the only way I've been able to deal with it is by coming up with plot reasons to deprive him of the use of it, which as a GM I hate doing, so suggestions would be appreciated.

Time for the Dude where's my van Episode. Have the Van Stolen by Go Gangers. Then have them chase it all over the city as the gangers use it to perpetrate all kinds of silly crimes. (Holding a Candy Store, jacking a shipment of jock straps). Have it plastered all over the front page. Then have them fight the van to get it back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Just my 2 Cents.
