Subject: [SR3] More Errata
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 20:40:52 +1200
Having gotten my BBB3 on Wednesday (when I didn't expect it for another
month or so), I was on such a high that I immediately set about looking for
the differences. The new skills system rocks (my PC now has as many points
in 'flavour' skills as he does in legit knowledge), Adepts can really bust
heads, and the gear section answers a number of burning questions; in fact,
most of my issues with SR2 have been settled.

Unfortunately, I did find a couple of things that FASA might want to fix
for the next printing:

Page 64, 'Sample Characters'.
The first paragraph refers the reader to p356 for the sample character
sheets. Oops; it should point to p3*2*6.

Page 244 'Exceeding the Racial Modified Limit'.
The example given says that an elf raising her Strength from 6 to 7 spends
(new Rating x 3) Good Karma Points for a cost of 14 Karma; the correct
amount should be 21 Karma.

Page 307 'Vehicle Weapon Mounts', text, last paragraph before Vehicle
Weapons section.
Quote: "Aircraft may carry a number of external missile mounts equal to the
craft's Body Rating. Each mount can carry up to 300kg of [ordnance]." When
an AVM is only 3.25kg, and HE/Anti-personnel rockets are only 2kg? That
means that a PRC-42B Wasp (Body 2) can carry (2 x (300/3.25)) 180 AVMs, or
300 anti-personnel rockets! Either the vehicle-mounted weapons are meant to
be a little heavier than the generic weapons listed on p281, or the Wasp is
gonna murder anything it meets. (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing,
in GM/NPC hands, but c'mon, what if the PCs get one?)

And I'm still not finished reading the book yet...
