A Smash attempt suffers slight if it is made against an item being held by a foe. The Director can impose favour or slight for other conditions, or even rule an attempt to break something automatically a success or failure.
- Failure: No damage is inflicted to the object.
Note that a Destroyed object is still physically present; it is merely unusable for its intended purpose.
A goblin attempts to Smash Eldrin's targe. As the targe is a wooden shield, its Smash TN is 15, and the goblin suffers slight to his attempt due to the fact that Eldrin is holding the shield. Unfortunately for Eldrin, the goblin rolls a 4, 7 and 8, and after discarding the 8, still has a total of 15. Eldrin's shield becomes Broken.
