Description

Shatter can weaken and destroy magical objects. You must succeed a ranged attack check to hit the target object (although inanimate objects are defenseless and can be attacked with a routine check). The target makes a Fortitude resistance check (DC 20) and loses character points from its Toughness equal to the difference between the check result and the DC (up to 10). Unattended objects have no Fortitude defense and therefore will lose 10 character points from Toughness automatically (held or worn objects may receive some kind of resistance check based on their possessors traits at the gamemaster’s discretion). Inanimate objects do not recover weakened Toughness and must be repaired.
