Shaman lobs a Lightning Bolt at a car. The car has a single passenger, a hermetic with a datajack and a few other minor bits of headware. The bolt damaged the car fairly badly, but then the player was disappointed, saying she had expected that the electricity would arc to the passenger and was more likely to do so because of the metal in his head.
The rules on secondary elem manip effects seem to largely be "GM discretion" so I'm wondering what you folks would rule in this situation. I think it was a Force 6 S bolt, but I had underspecified the specs on the car because I'd been winging it. |
