WOIN WOIN new: psionics: is psionic bast affected be armour soak?

[Greg Lewis]

I wonder if purely psionic exploits like psionic blast would be affected by armour soak. I can imagine this might be so for game balance reasons but can’t think of an in game reason for it. I also wonder if the same exploit would be stopped by a 3 inch thick Perspex wall

In general, SOAK only applies to attacks which target MELEE or RANGED DEFENSE (N.E.W. pg 94.) Though, there are a few items in the Psionic Gear article in EONS that provides SOAK to Psionic attacks.

 

[Morrus]

Armour does not protect against psionic damage unless it is specifically designed to do so. Note that not all psionic attacks do psionic damage - some do electricity damage, for example.
