Here is what Matt posted to the list when asked this (Emphasis added by me):

three extra successes on the navigation roll to pull it off. ::**This would 
be the same for teleporting something into someone ::else.**

Thus spake the Master. =] If people want, I can post the entire msg except 
for the date. Didn't keep that part of the message.

Maybe as much as a pistol (5D+10 sounds right, my books aren't handy)BUT the 
damage Ignores All Armour and, IIRC, is Massive Damage. Applied to all 
locations. That's why Grenades are so nasty, and at least you get armour vs 
grenades.

That might be so, but if the character was killed from it, I'd leave the 
body in the object for effect. If not, then the person *and* the object take 
the damage in my campagin. As always, YMMV.
