TK an object, into a character standing on an object
Just to make sure this aspect of the new TK doesn't get dropped out.
I've brought this up in a couple of the many threads on TK and it has never been specifically addressed before the thread gets lost in people arguing about the stealth aspect of TK.
If a character is standing on an object, and someone flings an object at them. Does the attack just hit the character? Does it hit the object? Does it hit both?
Please don't hijack this thread with arguments about the rest of TK. There are more than enough threads on that aspect of this whole process.

If you look at the new wording (on my Android so I cannot copy and paste). The only mention of attacking is when an opposing character is involved.

Give this character a power action and designate a target character or object (A) and a destination square (B). This character, A, and B must all be within 8 squares and line of fire of each other. Place A in B. If A is a character, it must be a single base character and possess the [explosion] symbol. If A is an opposing character, make a close or ranged combat attack that deals no damage against A, and only place the character in B if the target is hit. If A is an object and B is occupied by an opposing character, this character may make a ranged combat attack against B, dealing object damage and destroying the object.
So, the reason I have a question about it, is because of how the stealth ruling got made. If we're attacking a square, do we attack everything in the square or just the character?
Clearly we can't destroy an object if there is not a character there. But if we're attacking the space, that would seem to imply to me that we would attack both the character and the object.
On the other hand, if I make a regular attack, it would chose whether to attack the object or the character. That would have me lean towards not attacking the object.

Mods?
So far Norm says it only attacks the character, and there will be a errata which we should see next week. Till then I suggest going with the intent of the power.
