yes, you can shoot it, but you can't cast spells at it (other than indirect spells, which work like shooting attacks). you cannot powerbolt the wheels on a car.



Ranged Direct Combat Spells are exactly like ranged bullet resolution... You can indeed use Targeted spells (Called Shots) to damage a certain part of something (Hell you can even create spells that are limited to such things... Wreck (Tires) anyone?)... it is arbitrated by the GM and is part of the rules set... I am going to have to agree with Dakka Dakke here about this... if the goal is to bypass armor or increase damage, well, Direct combat spell do that anyway, so the 1st two options for Calling Shots are pretty useless, but if you are trying to gain a special effect, why would you argue that it does not work, since the rules allow called shots to do so...

Well damn. I can't find the standard direct combat spell disclaimer that it effects the whole target and you can't target a specific part of the object in 4A. How long has that been gone?

But I'll point out only indirect spells claim to function like ranged combat, so I'd still rule you can't call a shot with direct spells since it does not work like ranged combat.


And double damn, I always ran mask as only working on people. I think I prefer it my way, my mind will hurt to much if I think about phsyical mask making a skyscraper look different. I'd rathe rnot have to deal with figuring out how big of an object it can mask and other bits of stupid.
