..and round we go again. Matt: can you please give us your interpretation of this rule?

But where does that damage get applied? The core rulebook doesn't say.

OK so now I'm even more confused by this.

The victim of the psionic assault.

So does that mean that a psionic assault always does enough damage to reduce a character's Strength or Dexterity to 0? Matt: can we get some clarity on this, please?

How do I apply the Effect x 3 damage from a psionic assault? Should I apply it to the victim's Psionic Strength (if they have it), then Intelligence, then Endurance, as per page 154 of the first edition core rulebook? It would be good to get an official answer on this, as the 2e core rulebook is...

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Thanks for that Matt. Whilst we're on the subject of psionics, in MGT 1e the damage from a psionic Assault is applied as follows: However, in MGT 2e it is unclear as to how damage from a psionic Assault is applied: There's no follow up text describing how or where to apply that damage, so how...

So no official reply from Mongoose on this issue, then? I still don't know whether to use the encounter range band distances or the psionic range band distances - which do I use?

I am confused about which range band table in the 2e core rulebook I should use for psionic abilities. The following paragraph is on page 197 (print)/198 (PDF) of the 2e core rulebook: There is a Psionic Range Bands table at the top of the right hand column of page 197/198, but this is not...

What's changed in this latest version?

We're being asked to pay to keep up to date on something we've already bought. Doesn't seem right.

Wow. So the 2nd edition is a separate product to the 1st edition, which means if you bought the 1st edition you have to buy 2nd edition separately to keep up to date, which then makes the the 1st edition redundant? Cheers for that then... :roll:

Indeed. Large chunks of the of the T20 character generation process are OGC and could very easily be ported across to a simple 2d6 system withough having to touch the Traveller SRD v. 1.1.

Not necessarily - just check out Mongoose's own Legend series of books. They are all OGC and can be considered to be types of SRD yet they're not free. Note that there is no free Word document version of Legend available. Although the d100 system itself, on which Legend is based, can be...
