I know their is no official ruling on Meteorite yet, but I will ask anyway: Would Large Object work with Meteorite even if the damage it deals is more than 2 i.e. possibly giving a +3 attack while still dealing an additional3 damage? It's a one out of six chance and maybe not worth the points(like Pushing/Ripitup/Nanobots) unless it's a smaller points game, but could a character with PC, like the new Captain Marvel, use it on the Meteorite roll?

This topic is discussed right now at the WK Judges forums. No official statement has been made, but most seem to think Large Object and Meteorite shouldn't be compatible as you don't know how many points of damage you have before making the attack - if you roll a 1, you can't use Large Object at all as it requires you to save at least 1 point of damage on the object.

Of course, this is only relevent when using the Meteorite in a CC Attack; if it is used in a RC Attack, either thrown or TKed, it acts as any normal Heavy Object, and Large Object will interact with it just fine.

Right. The way Milo's question was formulated made it obvious that he was referring to using the Meteorite in a close combat attack, so I focused on that.

Norm, the new RA, said that Meteorite was not penetrating damage right? But he also said that it cant be affected by damage reducers. So, though its a little off topic, if my character has invulnerability, and he gets hit with a meteorite, does he take all the damage?

I believe Norm said it was not penetrating damage per se, but it functions like penetrating damage. So meteorite is going right thru Toughness, Invulnerability or Impervious with no reduction.

This is my impression as well.

God, that sucks so bad. It just became the only object ever to make me angry. I liked the laser turret, but others found it annoying. This one I hate.

Now another question - does that mean if you do 5 damage and then you also use a meteorite does all 8 possible damage go through, or just the three extra that can be added by the meteorite?

Sorry for Hijacking this thread.

Damage dealt is damage dealt; you don't separate it into categories of damage dealt by this and damage dealt by that. Since damage dealt is one single number (made up of the character's DV + the Meteorite, in this case), and Meteorite specifies that damage dealt may not be modified further, then that means that whole damage dealt value. In your example, that is 8.

We'll let you off with just a warning this time
