[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 4178224, member: 31734"] Is it? Make sure you define 'object' properly. In other words, if you hit a door are the door handle, lock, and knocker all affected? Is the house that the door is attached to affected? The brackets and pins and nails? How about if you shoot at a 'sword', are you hitting just the blade, the hilt, sheathe, or all three or some other combination? Can you target someone's belt buckle and not their belt? If so, how do you distinguish them if someone wants to target the belt (and therefore does that mean you can't target both the belt buckle and belt as simply the 'belt')? I know this sort of argument came up some time ago when someone wanted to only target the pins holding the door on the wall. Whatever you decide, try to come up with a concept that easy to resolve, such as a single material type (so, 'wood' would leave the metal doorknob intact), wholly separable item (e.g. a sword includes the blade and hilt), or something along those lines.
