Perhaps the most Newbish Question ever...

[urbanfractal]

Hi Citizents.

I would like to ask the silly question concerning the erronneous (perhaps) MBD entry in question 5 of Hyigiene Officer, meaning the 3 given answers, that are the same as the question before (number 4).

And if this is a petty commie sabotage (they thought they could get away with it) what about the unfinished entry of WMD Secret Skill (pg. 114) ?

Sorry for bugging you, citizents!

PS Sorry if these have been asked again, but I couldn't read through the whole forum

Citizen urbanfractal, rejoice! The duplication of the three answers from question 4 to question 5 is intended as a joke. No sabotage was required to produce your bafflement.

As for the genuine sabotage at the end of the WMD skill entry on page 114, the complete paragraph should read as follows:

" Make a hidden WMD roll when the character has a kilo or so of plutonium or other fissile material, as well as some conventional high explosives. The attempt takes 12 hours. Success creates a tacnuke with a 0.1-kiloton yield. Higher success margins increase the yield -- though for dramatic purposes it usually works best to say the tacnuke vaporizes everything relevant to the mission. Failure means the bomb is nothing but a hunk of radioactive junk. Significant failure (margin 10+) means the character has poisoned himself with toxic plutonium; bring up the next clone backup."
