Electricity

If an uninsulated person is exposed
to electricity, he may receive a shock.
The effects of electric shock are highly
variable, ranging from momentary
stunning to instant death! This section
helps the GM assess these effects if a
character receives a shock during an
adventure. If a specific attack or sce-
nario gives different rules, they over-
ride the guidelines below.
All electrical damage falls into one
of two classes: nonlethal or lethal.
Against either, metallic armor (e.g.,
plate armor) provides only DR 1 – and
if the wearer is grounded, he actually
attracts electrical attacks, giving the
attacker +2 to hit.
