Default Re: IQ based Forced Entry roll?

A rare few have exotic forms of Injury Tolerance, like Damage Reduction. As well, DR and HP vary, and some objects have low HT and will almost certainly fail at 0 HP, while others have very high HT and will need to be battered to -5×HP. An IQ-based roll before you start would let you pick an approach whose damage type and amount can usefully affect the target, estimate the time to cut or bash through, and remember what hazards might follow (lots of broken glass, a fire, a collapsing beam, etc.).
Now that's what i'm talking about.
