Re: Explosives: Lethality of 1 pount of TNT
Indoors, concussion kills by shock; The explosion instantly over-pressurizes the room. Thud!
So, even if the room isn't blow up per se, the people in it might die.
Maybe one could say that every character in a closed room takes aditional damage equal to what hits each wall+roof.
So if 1 pound of tnt went of on the floor of a in a 4x4x4 cube, preasure damage would be 7+7+7+7+3=31 points. Quite a lot, but then, it is supposed to hurt.
