Vampire Mist vs Vacuum Cleaners

Jeminai · 09-30-2016, 06:04 PM

Are there rules for deploying a vacuum cleaner against creatures with Injury Tolerance: Diffuse?

If a similar situation occurred in one of your games I would be interested to see how you handled it.

Thanks in advance.

I would go off ST and unless the Diffuse bought thiers down significantly they could escape.

If it can create a breeze faster than their Move then it is a matter of endurance.

Unless your Diffuse being has a Vulnerability to wind-based attacks, there is no reason for a vacuum cleaner to do anything more than be an annoying noise.

Wind can move them in entirety but it can't make them squish or change postures against their will.
I have joints that allow bending, but you can't just lightly brush my limbs to put me in a fetal position without my cooperation or a lot of force.
