Just DMed my first game, and a couple of things confused me, or I just couldn't find them in the rulebook.
First off, what happens to a vehicle when it gets destroyed? We had an electric 3 wheeler get shot up by a guy with a scorpion machine pistol, and I would've felt a bit harsh having it explode in a giant fireball, killing the two runners inside. I basically just had it get wrecked. But are there any actual rules on this? Second, a vehicle crashed later in the run, and the rules say "apply damage to the vehicle as though it rammed itself". Okay. But what damage do the characters inside have to resist? From reading the rules, it looks like they take the same damage as the car does. (for the Nightsky that crashed, it's 12P) But this seems very high - it's the same damage as you take if the car runs you over! I just rule zeroed it to say they just took 6P damage. Anyone know for sure? |
