Read the top of page 155, you have to take two different skills to use them safely.

You've missed out Animals (veterinary), ah I see it is not in the top list but is described further down. My apologies.

Have a look in Central Supply Catalogue, it has the skills Monofilament Bolas and Monofilament Net. You need these if you're using these weapons to avoid killing yourself.

I'd love to go - however it's a continent away and don't have the cash to go.

Already got it

Another thing, sorry I keep thinking of things. 12 on the life event table is interesting. Previously, if I've got my maths right, it was a 1 in 36 chance of getting it. Now, there's a lot lower chance.

Double 1 is psionic institute Double 6 is increase your SOC by 1. I must admit I found a lot of the life events a bit meh. It was the psionic institute in Hiver territory that I thought was a bit off, If you;re planning a campaign nowhere near the Hiver worlds then you'd have to decide why you...

I'd keep the double 1 roll and double 6 roll the same. Life events should perhaps be more than 1 entry as it contains several entries. And take out the cr*p word. But some nice events here. Some of the events say things you;re in hiver territory or on a water world. These may contradict what...

If you can send me your details somehow, I'll email them to you. They are: Death Orchids Hug-me Tree (the name makes sense) Med-ferns Shrapnel Cacti Tangle-Trees Triffids (named after the mythical Terran plant) Venom Vine (I since discovered from one of the index lists that there's another...

If you want the plants for the Botany Hunt - let me know!

Anything in particular?

What's not shown is sub-level 5 where they keep the prisoners who can teleport. They have to be kept really far down.

Yep I agree.

Though it was so low in 1700, because of a high infant mortality rate. Once someone reached adulthood, they could expect to live until their 50s (I think). The human body is not designed to live beyond 90, once you hit that age, many things are going wrong. We will not get a significant...
