you have all seen where some powerhouse in a movie can run through a wall in a causal manner, I was wondering if the game mechanics supported that kind of action and to what extreme

can it be done with an adepts,  cyberware, bioware, Trolls or are drones the only ones able? what is the heaviest material that can be breached in this manner?
would you feel it is an unarmed check to burst a wall or a Body + Strength? (we are talking about simply running at the wall not punching it fyi)
would one be required to resist damage from doing so if the subjects body and strength high enough would you simply resolve it like falling damage
another question is at what point could they leap from a height and smash through a floor

and more importantly would you change the requirements for a Black Trench coat game apposed to a Pink Mohawk game

I would love to here your opinions

It's covered under destroying barriers. Some of them are light enough that just about anyone can destroy them (glass, drywall, interior doors), and some need more muscle to bust down (Security doors, concrete, brick, etc.). You can easily build a troll that can kick down blast doors in one or two tries and anything less is ridiculously easy to break.

" walls? where we're going, we don't need,, walls."
Carpe Noctem (seize the night)
Carpe per Diem (seize the pay), Carpe Dentum (seize the teeth), Carpe Denim (seize the pants)
Carpe Panem (seize the bread/capital)

one phrase: bubba and his rotary assault cannon.
Carpe Noctem (seize the night)
Carpe per Diem (seize the pay), Carpe Dentum (seize the teeth), Carpe Denim (seize the pants)
Carpe Panem (seize the bread/capital)

no, i won't "just get over it."

Nah, use a Nordkapp Zugmaschine with the trailer. Body 24, and still enough top speed to get in the best damage category. ;D

Blow up the wall in advance, and cover it up with AR, holo, and Trid Illusion. Then make the IMAGE of busting through!

Or, hit it with a Ram spell. Or some very big Earth Spirits.

And if it's made of that older durasteel, use D-7 Catalyst spray to make it look all pink and gooey. You'll pop right through. Not as dramatic, but then, you ARE busting through steel walls...

I am picturing a troll who has been painted red shouting "Oh yeah!" as he breaks through the wall.

+1 for a genuine LOL. :)

There's an adept power that doubles damage against objects, use that here to do even more damage.

I'm trying to convince my group to go through Missions 4 (As I wrote one episode of it!), and one suggestion was a troll adept with that power.

"That's broken you know." the player warned me.  I just shrugged.  No moreso than a lot of high explosives in my mind.

To go a bit off-topic, but still about breaking walls, by the RAW multiple 1kg charges placed near each other and detonating simultaneously is apparently exponentially better than one huge charge.

Isn't that kind of how it is in real life? Not sure about military stuff, but the engineers and demolition teams that tunnel through mountains or work in mines/quarries don't just drill one hole and stuff it with explosives. They drill a bunch of holes in a calculated pattern, fill them with explosives and GTFO. They blow a whole lot more rock with less explosives this way.
