Actually that was sort of mi'ladys point. The Storyteller in question
figured it was stupid that a vampire could make a roll
to avoid a nuclear( that is what I said...NUCLEAR) blast by making a
single test. The player in question was spouting off a rule about their
advanced fortitude levels letting them survive any sort of explosion. The
storyteller in turn suggested that as the rules were never meant to cover
nuclear explosions that this was ridiculous. The PC persisted,
and the Storyteller "relented" by suggesting that as the damage was taken
on a cellular level, that the test would be allowed as long as it was
made for each cell in the PC's body. Any signigicant number of failures
would indicate Final
Death. The PC decided not to bother with the rather outrageous number of
tests and accepted that they had yet again
let their mouth write a check their ass couldn't cash.
I thought it was funny as Hel, frankly.
