Object Resistance Options

For the purposes of missions play, what is the object resistance of a monowhip?

GM decides at your table by consulting the chart in the core book. SRM (thus far) doesn't micro-manage ruling to this level.

Either that or the GM makes it up on the spot to keep the game moving.

*lol* I didn't mean he had to consult at the table-- but that's the reference he's going to use as a starting point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As a mission GM, I would like to know. I know if it were up to me (a GM who will be running some missions at an upcoming convention, but has only been doing missions for about 3 years now) I would say it is OR 3 as a manufactured high tech object or material ( advanced plastics, alloys, electronic equipment, sensors), while a player in my local group (who has played many more missions than I have) swears up and down it would be OR 5+ as a Highly Processed Object (computer, complex toxic waste, drone or vehicle)

The very idea that what is essentially a chain of carbon atoms attached to a aluminum handle is as complex as a drone or computer (which more than likely contain large quantities of processed carbon atoms) seems ridiculous. I cant really make a ruling, because this is for a PC i intend to play in those mission games I am not running (and thus have not read) at aforementioned upcoming convention.

Shoot the difference and call it 4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I agree that it's a 5+ object. The idea is that it has to be highly processed to grow a monofiliment nanowire that can maintain enough tensil strength to be used as a weapon. Please note the "toxic waste" above. The finished product doesn't have to have a IC board, it just has to be highly processed and unnatural.

Just to toss my 2 nuyen worth in here as well.....

I'd rule it at a 5+ too as it is highly processed.

[Yerameyahu]

Given that we're talking about specifics, why are you guys still saying 5+? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Do you mean 5, or 6, or 7, or what?

[Zolhex]

Yerameyahu ~ We say 5+ cause different GM's may rule it differently.

By the book we see it as saying at least 5 as the Object Resistance table says an item of this kind is listed as haveing 5+.

The + in this case is on GM by GM basis so no one GM could make the call on this It would in my opinion be a 5 but for a hard set number all GM's would have to use Bull would need to pass final judgement.

[Yerameyahu]

Sure, but we're talking about what would you do, right? You wouldn't tell the player the monowhip is 5+. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Zolhex]

True I wouldn't say 5+ I'd say 5 with the added but next time a different Missions Gm may say more or less just so the person knows.
