Ok, I have two question.
I have a guy in my group that swears and insists that thermographic vision can see through walls and pick up the heat given off by something in a room well beyond the interior wall. Put simply he claims that if he is using thermo while walking through a hallway, and he looks at a wall he can see through it and pick up the heat from a troll that is 10ft or more into the room. Is there anything in the rules that says that is possible? Are there any thermo imagers in the real world that can do that? I've heard that trolls and dwarves see in normal vision and thermo vision at the same time. I've heard that's the way it's done in some novels as well as it is discussed in the 2nd Ed. book Cybertechnology. The reference that says that states it is in the discussions in the book IIRC. Not sure what IIRC means. Does anyone know what area or page says that? Or is there anywhere else in any rulebooks that it states that and what page please? |
