Freedom City PbP's stand on Objects and Toughness

Recommended Posts

Throughout Ultimate Power the "Drain Toughness" effect and it's consequences for objects are handled in a number of different ways. What's FC's official take on this?

Disintegration - apparently an object's Toughness can be reduced to -10 without any ill effects resulting from that.

Melt (AP for Plasma Control) - objects reduced below Toughness 0 are melted

Matter Eater - objects reduced to 0 Toughness are destroyed

Considering that Devices have a Toughness of 10+Device rank, and that destroyed Devices can easily be replaced between adventures (if not within an adventure -- you did pay good points for them, after all), this isn't really so big a deal. Besides, one of the inherent drawbacks to being a gadgeteer (or any sort of item-based character) is that your toys will at times be unavailable to you.

A decision has been made!

Owing to conflicting reports in Ultimate Power on certain Toughness Draining effects, the following rule on object Toughness is in effect for FC PbP: Any object reduced to a Toughness of -6 or less is effectively destroyed.

Many thanks for the answer!

Hadn't expected an answer so soon after the "back burner" status update, so I did not check here earlier. :)
