That's basically how I run it. But one thing I'm still stuck on (and
thankfully haven't yet been forced to confront in-game) is what do you do
in the case of sentry guns and other weapons that operate on their own with
out human intervention.
There are two answers I have come up with so far. 1) The system simply
ignores the spirit completely. Or. 2) In addition to the Immunity to normal
weapons (which should actually be called resistance in this case) the
spirits force should be added to the systems target number to hit it.
Opinions?
