(Of course, some follow-ups only trigger on impact, such as impact-fused grenades. You'll have to target the ground under the ghost's legs instead for those.) |

Though it does make me question what the difference would be between the the two options below: Innate Attack which does not hurt insubstantial things with a follow up that does. Innate Attack which does not hurt insubstantial things linked (using Link) with an Innate Attack which does. |

Re: affects insubstantial follow-up
How would the Follow Up penetrate DR?
For sake of example, let's say there's the ghost of a knight. The ghost is insubstantial, but wears ghostly armor. My sword passes through the ghost and does zero damage. The Follow Up triggers, but it never made it through the ghost's insubstantial suit of armor. |

Re: affects insubstantial follow-up
Nope, RAW says no such thing. And Linked attacks both roll separately against DR, so, there's no "carrier" involved.

Re: affects insubstantial follow-up
If and only if the Carrier manages to get past DR, then the Follow-Up gets to ignore DR. Otherwise the Follow-Up attack works without any special modifications.

Re: affects insubstantial follow-up
I'm pretty sure the Follow-up doesn't work at all if it fails to penetrate the DR, which is he real point of Linked attacks, the both go off, subject onto to their own limits

Like, say I throw a grenade at a window. If it penetrates the window's DR and flies into the room, it does internal damage to the room. If it somehow fails to penetrate the window DR, it'll explode next to the window and do its explosive damage to it. I'd really, really appreciate if people started backing up such claims with quotes before spreading them, since this confuses the newbies. Because currently we in fact have a FAQ section on this, which say: Quote:
