Hey - just wondering what type of rules you guys use for windows in 3d buildings?

Was thinking +1 defense to the guy in the building, or giving the guy in the building super senses....?

Any ideas?

indoor blocking terrain. its still a wall.

I have a double sized laboratory map that I printed off of the internet many years ago, and on occasion it's been ruled that the windows count as walls except that they can be destroyed by any attack regardless of damage. Sometimes we allowed certain powers to be used through windows as well: Outwit, Probability Control, Perplex, Mind Control, and Psychic Blast. That was interesting.

I haven't played with any rules like these, but I like commandercool's suggestions. Off the top of my head, I might also suggest that destroying a window doesn't leave hindering terrain.

Alternatively, perhaps you'd get the defense bonus that you mention, but also the window is destroyed by any attack that goes through it?

I'd just make it Hindering for LOF, but blocking for movement. Sort of like Water is hindering for movement but clear for LOF.

Simple yet effective. If people want to go through them they still have to destroy the surrounding wall. Or if you want to allow characters through, make it hindering for LOF and hindering for movement (so basically it's like a wall that only hinders instead of blocks).

Schieß auf das fenster!




Yippie Kay-ay!!!

does this say add to the defense in german?

I would sat either +1 to defence or maybe even -1 to Damage(as in breaking the window making the attack weakens the blast, something like that would be interesting?). And hindering for moving through

It's from Die Hard. Hans Knows John has no shoes so he tells his guys to "shoot the glass".

Yay! Someone else who knew it was Die Hard!
