u/Thin-Character-867

Last time you helped me a lot with the rules (you gave me a link to the developer's interview, where I didn't even think about looking for answers to the rules). So I'm here again.

The situation is like this. The car has armored windows (15 durability). It's being shot at with a rocket launcher, dealing 35 damage. The template completely covers the car.

If I understand the rules correctly, both the car and the entire crew will receive 35 damage (minus the armor). Because the explosion has enough damage to destroy the "cover" (the car's armored glass).

But the rules say that the crew can dodge as usual (meaning that if they have REA8, they can "jump out" of the explosion). The covers seem to allow dodging (at least I found a ban on dodging only with a shield).

I also didn't find any mention that the character must move outside the "explosion" area if they successfully dodge, but I've seen people mention it.

The question is, can the crew avoid the explosion in this situation, and if so, do they stay in the vehicle?

Hello everyone! My friends and I are playing Cyberpunk Red, but the rules seem a bit rough and cause a lot of controversy, so I decided to find a large community that can help answer my questions.

So, let's get to the point: In Interface 4, there is a book called "Cyberfists of Fury," which includes the "Kendo" style with the "Cut the Bullet" technique. This technique states that when attacking, you can attempt to use the technique and avoid damage (the exact conditions are not crucial at this point). The main question is, if a character already has REA 8 and can dodge bullets, can I combine two types of defense?

PS: It's just that the rules don't prohibit using multiple abilities to dodge a single attack (as is the case in GURPS, or I simply didn't see it), or using the "reaction" action like in D&D, and unlike other techniques, it doesn't say that Kendo "replaces" something. It simply has a trigger.

On the other hand, with high skills, it becomes almost impossible to hit a character (with anything other than auto-fire), and it looks like a cheat.
