I was looking at the rulebook and reading about how super strength can be cancelled, and yet the object carried by the character is not dropped. I was wondering, if you cancelled super strength and denied yourself the damage boost when attacking walls because you already had 3 damage on your dial, if the object would get burned up in the attack. The idea is to be able to break down a wall, without torching the object, but without needing range.

Has this been talked about already?

Super Strength is not required to use an object in an attack. Any time you are carrying an object and make a close combat attack, the object will be used.

Super Strength allows you to pick up objects and get a +2 damage v. terrain.

Once you pick-up the object it's yours unless SS is outwitted.

That object must be used in any closecombat attack against a single target (fig or terrain).

Or lost. Not cancelled though.

unless you quake against more than one character

Or when you perform an attack that would deal no damage. Neither of which is happening here.

Correct. i was just trying to point it out since "quaking against multiple adjacent enemies" is a probable for "Any time"
but thanks quebby

I just read the rulebook. It specifies that the object must be used in an attack made against a single target opposing character. It says nothing about it being used against a wall... is there some other errata? I mean, this is a general misconception that the object must be used against a wall if I'm reading this right. Page 18 of the player's handbook, bottom left column Where it says "Using an object in a close combat attack". That first line is the requirement, but I've found nothing about walls or attacking terrain.
