Traveler is roughly 25% the size of a 6 ft. host). If an attack roll exceeds the AC of the host enough to hit the Traveler with cover then the Traveler has be hit.  The host will absorb 1 point of damage per attack that damages the Traveler.  For example: An investigator shoots the host (AC 12) with an M-16A1.  The investigator has a +5 ranged attack bonus and rolls a 19.  The Traveler has an effective AC of 23 when implanted in a host (16 [AC]+ 7 [cover]).  Since the modified attack is 24 (19+5) the investigator has hit the Traveler.  The investigator rolls damage dice and gets 10.  The host absorbs one point of damage, and the remaining nine points go to the Traveler.  Since it had 37 hit points to start with, it’s not dead and will regenerate 5 hit points next round.
