No more so than a Nuke.

I don't know how it works vis a vis Spirit Warriors, but the issue Samedi is 
referring to is that a Templar can use Deflection (not Greater Reward) 
against a Nuke thrown "at" him, but not one targeted at, say, the ground six 
inches from his feet.

I don't know how Spirit Warriors handles it, but presumbly it applies some 
kind of penalty to the Shaman to be hit "directly" by a Nuke.  _If_ that's 
the case, then the Shaman wouldn't get the defense against the Nuke if it 
was targeted near him.

An ICBM works the same way.  You can throw it on someone, or near someone.  
There seems to be no rule-type reason (and thus, no "real-life" in-character 
reason either) for a semi-experienced user to throw such an attack directly 
at a person.

Hope that helps.
