We're now in the process of reorganizing our errata files. New errata
sheets for all GURPS products will be prepared
soon. Please note: We can't deal with requests for "all errata sheets,"
because there are so many GURPS releases out now.
Please include a SASE when you write for errata, and specify which
products you want errata for.
The "Temporary Wealth" advantage, when used as described, proves
to be too easy to abuse. In particular, being "temporarily" Filthy
Rich for 25 points is too cheap.
GURPS
Cyberpunk includes a special character-creation rule intended
for the same sort of situation. A character can exchange up to 30 character
points for $5,000 each, but this money must be spent on netrunning
equipment or cyberwear; none of it can be saved. In a fantasy campaign,
the equivalent would be horse, armor and magic items . . . and so on. Note
that the cash equivalent should be adjusted for each campaign; in the cyberpunk
campaign, $5,000 represents half of the standard starting wealth. Therefore,
if this is used elsewhere, one point should be worth equipment equal to
half the starting wealth. Comments welcome.
P. 41. "Royal Army" is a misnomer. This should be changed to "British
Army" in the top line (only). The reference to "Royal Army School
of Language" is OK.
As this is written, the book is at the printers, and we've checked proofs.
We caught a few things, too small to delay the book for -- so here are the
advance errata.
P. 26. Under Cyberdeck Operation, the reference should be to Chapter
4.
P. 60. Under Hand Weapons, the LC heading should be LR.
P. 74. AIs can hace a Phase as low as 10. Since AIs are NPC "monsters,"
not intended to be fully understood by PCs, the GM assigns a Command Phase
and does not have to justify it to the players! PC AIs have a Command Phase
of 100.
P. 75. "Command Phase can never be lower than 100 msec" -- except
for AIs -- see above.
p. 80. The sidebar is continued on p. 82, because p. 81 is a table.
p. 103. The penultimate sentence of the first paragraph should refer to
"the individuals making the transaction."
