we all know that a person who has enough durability can survive the effects of electricity on the external body, such as burning etc.
but what about the effects of electricity on the internal organs? can they be "tanked"?
ac electricity can disrupt the nerve signals from the natural pacemaker in your heart and cause fibrillation. This is a rapid fluttering vibration, too weak to pump blood. If the rhythm isn't restarted with a defibrillator, it's usually fatal. dc electricity can have the same effect by causing the entire heart muscle to contract at once, which also breaks the pacemaker rhythm.
basically, electricity interferes with essential electrical signals in the body and will cause your muscles to clench. The fluctuation rate of 60 Hz makes these currents particularly suited to screwing up the nerves that regulate heartbeat. This can cause a heart to flutter instead of beating normally, which kills a person quickly.
tldr: you can tank the electricity only externally, not internally. so surviving electricity should be treated as a resistance feat. but you can still deduce the minimum durability required to tank the external effects of electricity as well. i would like to know all of your thoughts too.
