By the way... isn't Body attribute relative to your weight? Maybe it's body+strength/2 you know, since high muscle mass is heavy along with bulk and bone structure... doesn't cover the nebulous structure of Body and constitution though...

i usually play with too much electricity and fire to do that sort of thing... i'd end up sparking it off while hotwireing a car or playing with a zippo lighter, or getting shot, that could set it off too.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... that just reminded me of a story where we crashed a van into an electrified fence, trying to knock it down. (as a distraction, if I remember)

The fence was reinforced, so we didn't exactly manage to knock it down. So we had some platique, and while the van was sitting on its side against the electrified fence, we threw the block of explosives into it, planning to retreat to a safe distance before blowing it.

Problem was, the electrified fence cooked the detonator, triggering the explosion when we had moved about 5 meters away, if that far. Which picked our sorry hoops up and tossed us a good 20m, much to the unconsciousness of my compatriot.

We finished the run, but Damn. That'll stop me from doing that again any time soon. ;D

Give me a couple days, and I'll tell you about the time at Luigi's.

That was a good one.

At least the explosion took out the base security force sent to deal with us. Most of them, anyway.

Sounds like those are some stupid security goons. Wouldn't they be using long rifles to cover the area before moving in?

Yeah, we did something similar.
We needed to get into a place, and back out.
Getting in we figured would be easy enough, but getting out...

Since none of us had demolitions skill, and my character was a sort of almost-fixer type, the others just told me to get some explosives and plant the stuff.

My character then bought 2 satchels of C12, with detonators rigged up by someone who knew how, and put one at the base of each of 2 pillars, holding up the fence.

I'd expected reinforced concrete pillars mind you, so I'd maybe overdosed the amount of C12, just a tad...

What we got included 2 holes in the ground, large enough to present sever difficulties to jeeps. But atleast the fence went away, and we put a bit of a distraction of the sec.goons.

Seems like it would've been easier to hire out a mage with an Earth elemental to dig under the fence...

Can't just copyright Bad Thing© because the name covers too many situations. Now if it were the wholes statement: Stealth + Explosions = Bad Thing© then that'd be copyrightable.
