Quote:Plastiglex Breaching Charge (Utility) (300)
Used by Incident Response Teams for creating entryways for otherwise suicidal attacks against nests of armed criminals, the Breaching Charge has been used in many different locales by Carmelita. The explosive charge, Plastiglex, combines ordinary plastic explosive with some of the more supernatural arts to limit the blast, eliminating shrapnel and shockwave damage to nearby people, allowing it to be used in hostage rescue or emergency relief efforts as well as heists of delicate items.
To prepare the Plastiglex Breaching Charge, the package, which is a box two inches thick and four inches wide and long, is opened on one side. On the revealed surface is a small, orange circle that can be expanded in radius to form a circular shield of up to two metre radius. The box remains mounted on the shield, and is used as a handhold to apply the shield to the location of the intended breach. Upon contact, air is rapidly evacuated from the underside of the charge, vacuum forming the shield to the wall or debris. The charge then arms itself and can be detonated by pressing the green button that emerges from the outside at this point.
The detonation is, as mentioned, contained by the supernatural additions, and consequently exerts exactly enough force to pulverise the obstacle and charge into dust contained only to the wall and charge. There is a soft thwump caused by the degradation of the containment after the charge has been completely pulverised.
The Plastiglex Breaching Charge can eliminate up to half a metre of rock, twenty-five centimetres of steel or one centimetre of diamond. Materials with anti-magic properties break the containment field, causing the charge to fizzle. The charge is disrupted by sentient thought waves, precluding its use against live targets of any type, artificial or original.
For a skilled operator, the Plastiglex Breaching Charge can be set up and detonated in just less than half a minute.
I'm not exactly sure what the point of this move would be. When you assault a base and/or attempt to break into a vault, you don't need a special move to do it. You just make a formal challenge to the owner and if you 'win' you get the goods. If you wanted to RP Carmelita setting explosive charges during your base assault you're free to do that, but the results would depend on the judge's ruling on how well the assault went overall.
That said if you still want this move for breaking shields and stuff in combat and you want to pay for it, you can do that as well.
Mostly this move is for battlefield manipulation during combat. It would be most useful for making exits, ambushing people after stealthing away, etc. The non-lethality of it is because of the amount of uses I think it could be put to, plus fluff.
