Title: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: Sendaz on <10-10-15/0549:24>
A few things have been cropping up so may as well have a spot for them to get listed on.

The spell Spellblades (p. 192) states that Physical blades are like power bolts and are resisted by armor, yet the Power Bolt spell is not resisted by armor, just pure body. Mistake?
If armor can be used them what is the AP of the spell?


Reloading Slide: How many clips does it hold? The Reloading Rail specifically mentions it holds 4 clips, but the Reloading Slide doesn't mention any clip capacity.

Expanded Bows - Traditional: Does overdrawing require the fired arrow to be of a higher rating? if so it makes it useless on Rating 10 bows as there's no rating 11 arrows.

Master Archer: Does the -2 Movement Penalty reduction count towards firing from a moving vehicle as well as running?

the "Biospike" entry has its components listed as "Bone Spurs."

Then Hand Load manufactured armor is listed in the body of the work to be normal ammunition cost +10% while the table lists it as +25%

For myself, it is more a case of  fluff to crunch questions needing clarifying.

Depleted Uranium Rounds in the fluff mention that if all the shattered bits of the round aren’t removed from a surviving target,
the target will develop cancer in a matter of weeks.
Are we to just use the Radiation elemental effects from Street Grimoire and if so, what are the values used for determining ongoing effects?
Or is there some other table to consult?

Also for the spellblade errate, what does the spellcasting test for?

Edit: also what is used for ACC? Force?

Does Elemental Focus (p.191) effect drain in some way or not?

Voice Warper (p. 187-188) doesn't have possible ratings listed in either the description or price table and no test is listed to fool listeners. I assume it's Impersonation + Charisma + Device Rating, or would it be, given that it's designed to warp your voice rather than impersonate which is what the voice modulator would be for?

 Voice Recognition is Equipment DP vs. Device Rating as per CRB, I believe?

Does Elemental Focus (p.191) effect drain in some way or not?
I believe all it does is change the drain to be the element of the spell e.g. Ice Spear would become Cold-element drain. No idea what it'd do to fire, acid, or water spells.

Yeah.  I'm sure every fire magician is looking forwards to lighting themselves on fire every time they cast Fireball.  Totally worth it for the +2 dice.  Or the -5 Initiative every time you use Ball Lightning...  Oh, so much fun.

Cloaks don't have a base level cost. Also, as Capacity is governed by Armor Rating, does this mean that a cloak can accept standard modifications if suitably armoured?
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: HaikenEdge on <10-12-15/0937:05>
Kind of nitpicky, but I don't see why the Longbarrel modification should be using the Barrel modification slot; it's very possible to add a sound suppressor to a weapon with a lengthened barrel (and slide), and given this, I feel like the Longbarrel use of the barrel modification slot doesn't really jive with how having an internal piece of a firearm replaced functions in conjunction with modifications, since the barrel can still be threaded to accept a sound suppressor.

That's hidden in the blurb:
100 NY per rating for the basic with corresponding number of slots (up to 6)
300 NY per rating for the stylish version

Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: Chummer 5 is Alive on <10-12-15/1846:55>
Ehhh. The way I read it the 100¥ was for the armor modification, with an additional 300¥ for the latest fashion. If it's intended that a cloak costs a hundred with a minimum of 1 point of armour then yeah, sweet. Easy done. As is it's a little ambiguous.

Adding to this:

Why is electronic firing a barrel-modification?
By RAW, you can't use it together with Gas-Vents or silencers anymore, which honestly doesn't make much sense (and is already broken with the Yamaha Raiden which features both items on the same weapon).

IMHO this should be a normal internal modification that doesn't use up any of the external mod-slots.
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata

The Spellblades spell (p. 192) does not have a classification attached to it. All others spells have (manipulation) written behind the name.
Other subfixes are not present either for all spells
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: Rift_0f_Bladz on <10-15-15/1508:58>
Second electronic firing not being a mod slot.
Spellblades (while concept is awesome) needs some work for it to work right, such as AP for the indirect version, Acc for both versions (force, astral, physical (best)), etc.
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata

For spellblades Acc is decided by force I believe.

A) Biospike and Foot Blades have no listed accuracy. Is this the physical limit, or was that an oversight?
B) Biospike and Foot Blades aren't specified to which skill they use. Do they use Blades like Spurs, or Exotics?

Both Hand Razors and Spurs use Unarmed Combat, and use the physical limit. I'm guessing these would be the same.

Firstly, I was under the impression Spurs Blades, so my bad there. I remember reading in the Bad Enough Trog guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KTX4FC4rl55QILGOfcnc9MTwApiqFbmqlOfLtNRUoxo/edit?hl=en_US%22) that Spurs used Blades; is that incorrect?

Cyber implants are a specialization of the Unarmed Combat skill; this includes hand razors, hand blades, spurs, and the shock hand. Given that, the bio versions should operate the same skill and limit.

Throwing Syringe is just simply labeled as (exotic)
And while this does trigger a bit of a pet peeve of mine with exotic weapons that shouldn't be, the main issue is it doesn't say what kind of exotic. The Exotic doesn't even appear where it should be, like the previous Shiawase Arms Simoom has it underneath the name.

In addition, the syringe has a RC of 6F and Avaliability of 40Y and cost of 1500Y


Flame Bracer also doesn't have (Exotic Ranged Weapon) under its name

is this a question as to weather the Throwing Syringe is supposed to be an exotic weapon? or just "look at this C* F* of a blurb for a weapon, lets look at the whole thing" type of comment?

im in agreement tho that both the flame bracer and the throwing syringe should be exotic weapons tho (was going to say something about the Tiffani Shooting Bracer in Run-N-Gun being exotic, but theres nothing there that backs up that comment, but again i think it should be.)

Little of column A, little from Column B.

If the weapon is suppose to be Exotic and isn't just a copy paste blunder like its statbox is, I'd think it should follow one of the other two exotic weapons formats in the page. Either the one that apperently was copy pasted for its stat box, (Which I believe is how it should be) or the flame bracer. The later of which says it uses exotic weapon prof right at the end. As is, the format changes for each weapon on that page.

I've also noticed the weapon also lacks range, which there is currently a total of four of them for thrown weapons. Knives, Shurikin, Standard Grenade, Aerodynamic grenade.

On the other hand... considering they are described as knives with internal reservoirs why exactly would they need to be an exotic weapon? Why couldn't they be handled by throwing weapons? I don't really see any difference between throwing one of these and a knife?

And for the record, just stating the question, someone comes up with a good reason, I'll happily accept it, I just don't see one.

Other than probably using the same physical motions you would use with a throwing spike, as opposed to a throwing knife, I can't really think of anything else other than "reasons."

urm exotic weapon means it's a one use skill, not transferrable to any other exotic weapon.
Hence you have:

exotic weapon: monowhip
exotic weapon: tiffani arms bracer
exotic weapon: gyrojet pistol
etc.

The Throwing Syringe is another skill:
exotic weapon: throwing syringe

yes but the question is WHY is it an exotic weapon? I really can't think of any reason Throwing Weapons couldn't handle it. Again, I'm willing to listen to reasons... but so far it seems the only reasons are "because reasons"

But they are not described as knives with an internal reservoir.
Quote from: Hard Target pg 184
These aerodynamic throwing needles have an internal compressed reservoir with an inertial trigger.

They are basically buffed up medical syringes to be thrown like darts thrown straight on at a target on a fairly flat trajectory.

Most of your thrown weapons tumble in the air as they go, even when throwing knives you have to decide whether to hold by the handle or blade to throw or adjust the spin  depending on distance so that you don't thump your opponent with the hilt.  (still hurts a little, but not as much nor does it stick :P ) 

So the syringe/darts are a bit different than a lot of the thrown weapons you will commonly use in SR.

It's kind of like shuriken, there are actually different types of shuriken but get lumped under one heading, most classic distinction are the multiblade stars and needle type. 
They actually get thrown differently because the star is spinning and cutting while the needle type can be thrown to tumble like the throwing knives for better distance or thrown like dart for a deeper piercing attack but shorter distance.

That said, you would think Thown Weapon skill would cover this as it says it covers a broad range of items, and back in 3rd they mentioned it covered darts.
But they never went into it a lot, kind of like you do not really see spears which I imagine they would probably slap under exotic as well if darts are getting this treatment.
I guess they just assumed most people would stick to knives and grenades.

So I can see both sides of this argument, and ultimately if you want to houserule it under Thrown Weapon it really is not going to break the table.

That's what skill substitution is for.
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: Sendaz on <10-27-15/0654:46>
So assuming the GM let you substitute Thrown weapons, call it a -1 or -2 penalty for the item (it's not that far off to use) and use thrown knife ranges as someone was asking about range on this as well earlier?

The wording of spellblades is confusing, we need clarifications on both the power blade version and the mana blade version. I was guessing that power is indirect and mana was direct. 
Getting one without the other won't solve the issue.

This whole table of Weapon Mods is a huge mess.
Besides the problem with electronic firing being a barrel mod, the Ammo Skip System also doesn't work.
Its listed as an UNDERBARREL Mod, but all revolver can only be equiped with Barrel and top mounted mods, not underbarrel ones.

Should be put in the (-) Slot to avoid confusion, same goes with electronic firing and long/shortbarrel, to avoid problems with GasVents and Silencers.

I would quibble on the availability then. I can get EX-Explosive Rounds for 4R if they're handloaded, but if they were made normally, it's 14F? I read that line as being the cost for just the components, otherwise it makes it way too easy to get ahold of handloaded Depleted Uranium rounds from your local ganger.

I'd go for the same route.

If you want to buy handloaded Depleted Uranium Rounds, add 4 to the availability, making them 18F.

So:
10% Price increase if you buy the components and assembly the Ammo yourself with appropriate tools and tests
25% Price increase if you get handloaded Ammo from somebody else.
In the latter case, you'll also have a +4 increase in availabiltiy, because its more difficult to find this stuff than factory standards.

You COULD also add the increased Availability to buying the components, but for that i find the increase a bit to steep so would refrain from it.
Title: Re: Hard Targets Errata
Post by: Kincaid on <11-30-15/1342:18>
My understanding is that buying a handloaded round is +4 availability, +25% cost.  If you're making your own Armorer tests, the materials cost you 10% of the ammo your modding.

(All which makes me very curious about how this will work out in the "no crafting" environment of Missions.)

Extended Clip (page 180-181) lists two possible Ratings (Rating 1 adding 50% more rounds, Rating 2 adding 100% more rounds) but the table on page 183 just lists one cost (35¥). Does Rating 2 simply cost double (70¥)?

Found a couple of oversights for the Flame Bracer exotic weapon. Hard Targets P184

A: There's no mention of ranges.

B: There's no mention of ammo cost/availability.

Also, it seems like in the table on P187 Ares Monotip Arrows and Seeker Shafts might have the costs swapped?
Ares Monotip Arrows are basically an arrow head, yet have a (Rating x) cost, while Seeker Shafts have a flat cost going against standard arrows, injection arrows and static shafts all having (Rating x) costs.

Found a potential unintended error in Hard Targets.

The Ammo Skip System requires an UnderBarrel mod slot, which is not present on a revolver.

Consequently you cannot fit this system to a revolver type pistol, effectively making it longarms and heavy weapons only (grenade launchers and one shotgun i think).

Was this meant to be useable on a revolver (i suspect so)?

thanks

Good find, adzling.

Technically, you could mount this in an Internal slot, which makes more sense anyway, but I too find it odd that it's an Underbarrel mod in the first place. Same with Electronic Firing, which is a Barrel modification, which makes it incompatible with silencers. unless you mount either in the Internal slot again.

Also, it seems like in the table on P187 Ares Monotip Arrows and Seeker Shafts might have the costs swapped?
Ares Monotip Arrows are basically an arrow head, yet have a (Rating x) cost, while Seeker Shafts have a flat cost going against standard arrows, injection arrows and static shafts all having (Rating x) costs.
...as to the Monotip arrows, I think about about that.  Makes more sense to me that the Seeker Shafts would be based on arrow rating. 300¥ for a rating 10 arrow that only grants -2 AP is a bit steep (like 3 times as expensive as a Depleted Uranium round.).

I thought it was a misprint and was supposed to be "30¥ + Rating" like the arrowheads in R & G.

Hey Guys

The German "Hard Targets" finally came out and for those interested, "electronic firing" is now an internal mod, not a barrel one anymore.
On top of that, the current stats for spellblades are now:
"The Damage done by Spellblades is physical. The damage code is Force + Netto success on the attack role with a meleeweapon skill of his choice. Accuracy is equal to force, reach is 1. AP is equal to the Force of the spell, minus 1."

Flame Bracers use Taser ranges, ammo cost is 100 Nuyen  / 10 Shots, Availability is 8F.

Pricing for the seekershaft is [Rating of the Bow] x 30 Nuyen, Mono-Arrows cost 45 Nuyen a piece.
If you remember anything else that was unclear, feel free to ask, I'll look through the book if there are answers.
And no, before you ask, Ammo Swap is still an underbarrel mod, somebody screwed up at Pegasus...

Forceblade and Manablade both should have had the base damage be equal to successes in the spellcasting test and of course limited by force as usual. Then have this damage increased by net hits.
The damage should have been resisted by body+armor+counterspelling or willpower+counterspelling.
The only reason to add armor to powerblade is because it affects physical objects, and so doesn't just pass through the armor. powerblade should be also given ap of force.

... A traditional style bow can be designed to be collapsible, requiring a Complex Action to assemble. Cost for this modification is an additional 50 nuyen per point of Rating.
- 197

This doesn't actually detail the mechanical benefits for the modification. Nor is it entirely clear whether it's referring to the Rating of the bow, or of the modification.

Add a concealability modifier (and size description?) for collapsible bows.

I can't answer the collapsible bow question RAW or RAI, but I can say that a player at my table has one (we allowed the motorized add) and we ruled that it collapses down to heavy pistol size.  She carries it in a sholder rig.

I always imagined the collapsible bow as the example given in the Avengers when Hawkeye readies his bow. It collapses down to the size of a small case (about a foot by 6 inches). And it already readies in a Complex Action, so I'm not sure how motorizing it would help...

well, you buy a bow by its rating. There is no mention that "collapsible" has a rating system. it sounds more like like a yes/no thing to me. There fore, the $50 x (rating) would refer to the rating of the bow. It also doesn't list a bonus for collapsing your bow, other then it takes time to assemble again (yay!) So i would agree something seems missing on this end of that purchase.

Comparing the benefits for other collapsing weapons (see Concealability Modifiers table, SR5 p.420, for reference):

In the absence of a specific explanation in the weapon description, I'd guess that a "collapsible" firearm moves two steps down the table, while a melee or projectile weapon moves three steps down. E.g., from bow size (+8) to baton size (+2).
