Cool, thanks for the feedback! 8)

MgT2, Core rulebook, p16 top: "A skill may never be increased beyond level 4 during Traveller creation. Once a skill has reached level 4, any additional increases are lost. In addition, a Traveller may never have a total number of skill levels higher than three times his combined INT and EDU."...

Cool, thanks for the feedback :-)

So, even though zero level is a level, you don't get any stacking benefits since it is 0+0, that right?

I’m using the packaged-based character creation in the Traveller Companion pp. 13-21. If you get a zero-level skill from your Background package (for example, the Low-Tech background gives you Recon 0), and then you get another zero-level for the same skill from your Career package (for...

I suppose the ship has sailed on this (if it is off to the printers), but the grammar on the title seems odd. Is it a "Traveller Core Rulebook Update 2022" which implies a small document which is an incremental update to the separate core rules. Or is it a "Traveller Core Rulebook Updated...

I'd love to know more! A list of rules changes would be nice. The million dollar question is ... does it have an index? -- Stan :-)

Thanks for everyone's feedback! Lot's of great ideas here.

So let's say you want to lob a grenade into a concrete room filled with enemies. Do you need to make an Attack roll (perhaps to allow for a fumble like dropping the grenade)? How would you adjudicate a missed grenade throw -- doing no damage doesn't seem to make sense to me in this case.

I'm wanting to spice up melee combat and add in some cinematic moves that mostly just describe how you would 'fight dirty' using Mongoose Traveller 2e rules as written. What are your thoughts about the rules below? I've written some, but others I really need help with. THROW SAND Description...

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in DFW (Wylie) like you. I'm friends with Robert Eaglestone (T5 and Mongoose contributor) who is also local to this area :-)

This about sums up the advice I needed -- thanks! :-)

Yep, we were adding effect. Not sure we always applied the 'any effect of 6+ does at least 1 point of damage' rule. Great feedback!
