Additional Rules

CYBERWARE AND CHILDREN

The majority of nanotech, optics, audio and neuralware has

no adverse effect on children after age 10. Most other

cyberware must be replaced at each age level, as the body

grows.

Children 10-11: H.Loss/3

Children 12-15: H.Loss/2

FULL AUTO

When firing full-auto at multiple targets the distance between

targets is included when dividing the number of possible

hits. So two characters 5 meters apart = 7, 6 targets over

8 meters = 10, etc. The ROF of the weapon is divided by

this number to determine the maximum number of hits per

target. If ROF is 30 and targets are 5 meters apart (7

including targets themselves) then 30/7 = 4; a maximum of

4 rounds per target. Roll as per FULL AUTO FNFF rules.

Naturally everything in the background (i.e. between the

targets) makes a save as well. Natural 10 means the target

takes extra hits (roll 1d10 again).

vs fall damage per 50SP, Hard armor provides 1SP vs fall

damage per 25SP.

ERRATA

The stats of the Ramjet Rifle ammo are correct in

Blackhand's Street Weapons (Damx2, SPx3). The results

would be spectacular, but not very effective, tending to ex-

plosively fragment on any hard or semi-hard surface.

The SILS (subdermal induction loop smartgun) link is the

same as the Mag-Duct Spots from Chrome 1, but for weap-

ons only. 220eb, 1/2D6 HC, Surgery M.

The cost of the Militech RPV-400 is 150,000eb. That’s with

control equipment.

Correct CyberSteroids cost is 1500eb/+1.

figure increases the difficulty by 5.

Negotiation/Haggling

COOL+Skill+1D10 vs COOL+Skill+1D10

When the 2 skills are the same each 1 point of success

results in a 2% change of price in favour of the winner.

When a Fixer haggles with a non-fixer his advantage be-

comes 5%. Under normal circumstances, the price will

never deviate by more than 50% either way.
