Ahhh! I love you man. You just fixed all my Cthulhutech books too. Thanks. I'd feel really embarrassed right now if I wasn't feeling so relieved.

On p. 34 the 5pp version of Savant Async has Psi 1 and 6 Sleights. Since starting characters are limited to 5 of each Chi and a level 1 Psi can only take 5 sleights then there is a problem with this version of Savant Async.

Nevermind. Reserved for future errata I notice.

I must have glossed over that. Thanks.

My updated copy from DriveThru has an empty page 35. Not blank, mind you - the background and the table are still present, just without any content. This happened after the Savant/Theseus Update, anyone has the same issue?

Yeah, same here!

FYI, there's a new Transhuman update on DrivethruRPG. p.35 has been fixed now.

GALATEA (SYNTHMORPH) has no mobility system listed GRIEFER (SYNTHMORPH) has the mobility system entry tabbed to the right

I need to fix the rules for the Squishbot aug to mention that they can't use Shape Adjusting to form mobility systems requiring rigid parts (e.g., rotorcraft). I should probably tweak a few other things about it, too. Thanks to the poster who pointed this out.

That was me, just not in this thread. I didn't want to put another thing in the errata thread unless I was absolutely sure it was something that needed errata, and not just something I had doubts about personally. The squishbot stuff was part of it. Also, can it work with skinflex to imitate biomorphs? That might be something to reference.

I wouldn't allow it, even though in general bots are supposed to be able to used nanoware. Hardened skeleton is like adding a weapon mount. Technically possible, but defeats the purpose of being squishy. I could see maybe allowing structural enhancement, though, as that one doesn't imply as strongly that there's a rigid frame involved.

Not necessarily a hardened endoskeleton, but the ability to recolor the outer skin and shape the body to look exactly like a biomorph. It might fail any cursory internal scan (so an X-ray basically tells you right off that this isn't a person, or that it's at least a very boneless person), but I'm wondering if the squishbot can retain a solid enough outer structure to fool people visually into believing that its a biological person. Basically I'm trying to figure out the squishbots capacity for making its body solid. Even if it can't form rigid shapes like a propeller, I'm wondering if it can form less rigid but still solid shapes, like imitating biological creatures.

Taken mostly from my Rants about Transhuman Thread and from the Sample Characters Chapter... Page 110 -- "Even the toughest morphs benefit from wearing armor. Armor maxes out at 32 for both Energy and Kinetic damage," This is wrong. The maximum armor is DUR not 32 (p. 194, Eclipse Phase). Page 110 -- "Characters with a high weapon skill and no significant aim penalties should use full auto when possible to gain additional damage dice and make called shots to ignore armor." This is mathematically incorrect. Characters with a high weapon skill and no significant penalties should use two +1d10 DV bursts. Page 115 -- "then setting off a HEAP grenade inside its body cavity." There are no such things as HEAP grenades (p. 340, Eclipse Phase). Page 115 -- "You can also jam the seeker missiles of any member in your party." This is wrong. You cannot jam seekers as they don't have a puppet sock (p. 196 of Eclipse Phase and reiterated on p. 219 of Transhuman) Page 116 -- "Mental speed is the superior implant for attacking enemies with malware in combat. The time-dilation reduces the Task Action of brute-force hacking down to a matter of turns rather than minutes." Mental speed is not simulspace time dilation. Also Mental speed does not reduce the Task Action of brute-force hacking to turns (it reduces it from 20 to 16 turns). Page 116 -- "Cyberbrains can also be equipped with the Math Wiz trait," Cyberbrains cannot be equipped with the Math Wiz trait as it is an ego trait. There is a Math Boost implant, but that is not limited to cyberbrains. Page 117 -- "A transporter with a chameleon or invisibility cloak will be successful against most visual sensors, though lidar, sonar, and chem sniffers will still present a problem." LIDAR should be fooled by the invisibility cloak at least. Page 125 -- "created AGIs are based upon human neural networks. A handful are also based on non-human uplifts[1]." The [1] should not be there. Page 128 -- "For more on infugees and indentures, see p. 161.." There is a double period. Page 140 -- "To prevent ego theft, the backup copies are transmitted using quantum cryptography (p. 254, EP)." The section cited requires hardware devices, not software, meaning that this plug-in is non-functional. Note: allowing software only quantum cryptography is a horrible idea from a game point of view. Page 144 -- "Additionally, they lose the effects of any upgrades that increase their Speed or provide them with additional actions (such as mind speed)," Mind speed was removed from this version of the rules. Page 148 -- "Psych scans are a form of psychosurgery that requires either the user’s permission or a successful brainhacking (p. 261, EP)." The reference should be to the infomorph brainhacking rules on p. 148 of Transhuman, rather than the cyberbrain hacking rules in Eclipse Phase. Page 150 -- "They are not cured of their contact with th exsurgent" The word 'the' is misspelled. Page 154 -- Aphasic Touch should use the Psi-Assault Skill, not the Control skill. Page 164 -- "Some rimward habs are much more welcoming of new residents, but outright ban indenture within their jurisdictions." This sentence belongs at the end of the preceding paragraph. Page 166 -- "Muses now how to keep others outs of your private inbox." The word 'outs' is incorrectly pluralized. It should be 'out'. Page 167 -- "In many circumstances, having a complementary skill provides a bonus on a skill test. Your muse should be able to provide that bonus, even if teamwork does not apply." Teamwork should always apply when two people/AIs are capable of working on a test. Complementary skills should never apply to another person, that is what teamwork is for. Page 167 -- "Combat-focused characters should look into skills like Profession: Gunsmith or Profession: Armorer to modify, repair, and maintain important gear." Profession: Gunsmith and Profession: Armorer cannot do what this section says they can. That requires the active skill, Hardware: Armorer or (for maintenance only) the active combat skills. The professions would be complementary skills or allow someone to aid with teamwork. Page 170 -- "The following two procedures follow the same rule and guidelines for psychosurgery discussed on pp 229–232, EP." There are three techniques in this section, not two. Page 179 -- There is a problem with the transition from the last paragraph on the left column, to the first paragraph on the right column. The example does not address the points raised in the preceding paragraph (which is talking about making things with no feedstock). Page 224 (Anarchist Militia Volunteer) -- In the weapon section, there is zap ammo listed for the medium rail pistol. Rail pistols cannot use zap ammo (p. 337, Eclipse Phase) Page 224 (Anarchist Militia Volunteer) -- In the gear section there is a missing common between 'software sniffer' and 'specs'. Page 224 (Anarchist Militia Volunteer) -- The DUR of an exalt is 35 not 45 and the character has no DUR boosting implants. Page 224 (Anarachist Militia Volunteer) -- This one is questionable. The skills section should have the Investigation skill listed with its boost from the Oracles. Page 225 (Argonaut Xenolinguist) -- For the climbing skill. 50 + 40 = 90 not 95. Page 225 (Argonaut Xenolinguist) -- Augmentations. The Argonaut Xenolinguist has both mental speed and multitasking, which are not compatible (though I guess nothing says you can't have both, just that they can't be used together?) Page 225 (Argonaut Xenolinguist) -- This one is questionable. The skills section should have the Investigation skill listed with its boost from the Oracles. Page 225 (Argonaut Xenolinguist) -- The DUR should be 35 not 30. The respirocytes give a +5 Bonus to DUR. Page 225 (Argonaut Xenolinguist) -- This character has both ultraviolet vision and enhanced vision. However, enhanced vision lets you see in the ultraviolet spectrum anyways so the ultraviolet vision is redundant. Page 226 (Carbon Reaver Pirate) -- In the armor and gear section. Standard vacsuit is listed in each section. Normally it is only listed in the armor section. Page 227 (Dig Ops Specialist) -- The Profession: Colony Administration details (APT, BASE, ect.) are not vertically centered in the text box (as was done in the previous characters). Page 227 (Dig Ops Specialist) -- In the armor section, there is a newline between 'Second Skin,' and 'Smart Vacsuit'. Page 227 (Dig Ops Specialist) -- The SOM bonus for the hardened skeleton cannot be deactivated, so in the aptitude section the SOM Morph Bonus should be listed as 15 not 10(15). Likewise, the Total should just be 30. Page 227 (Dig Ops Specialist) -- The DUR bonus from the tough (level 2) trait cannot be deactivated (why would you want too?). Thus DUR should be listed as 50 not 40 (50), Likewise for WT and DR. Page 228 (Enceladan Body Stylist) -- Eidetic Memory should be listed before the 'Enhanced X' traits. Page 228 (Enceladan Body Stylist) -- The body stylist should have bonuses in parentheses listed for Disguise and Impersonation skills. Page 229 (Extropian Freelance Judge) -- The DUR and SOM bonus from hardened skeleton should not be listed as temporary bonuses. Thus the Morph Bonus for SOM, the Morph Total for SOM, the DUR, DR, and WT values should only be listed as the value currently in parenthesis. Page 229 (Extropian Freelance Judge) -- In the skills section. Interest Extropian legal codes has zero listed in the morph bonus column instead of being blank. Page 229 (Extropian Freelance Judge) -- In the Gear section. There is a newline after Brainprint Scanner. Page 229 (Extropian Freelance Judge) -- The social stigma (pod) trait should be listed in the Trait section. Page 230 (Flexbot Traceur) -- Gear Section. HEAP grenades do not exist. Page 230 (Flexbot Traceur) -- The tough trait and structural enhancement cannot be deactivated. The DUR, WT, and DR should just be the parenthetical entries. Page 230 (Flexbot Traceur) -- The flexbot traceur should have REF of 15 in the parenthesis. +5 from being a rogue flexbot and +10 from the reflex boosters. (This seems listed correctly in the skill section) Page 230 (Flexbot Traceur) -- The bonus to freerunning from the reconfigurable proprioception and pneumatic limbs should be listed in parenthesis in the skill table. Page 230 (Flexbot Traceur) -- Armor section, the way the synthmorph armor is listed for other synthmorphs is 'x Shell'. This characters synthmorph armor's should be listed as 'Flexbot Shell' Page 231 (Hidden Concern Assassin) -- Weapon section and Gear Section. Sniper Rail Rifle and Seeker rifle don't need to have '(smartlink)' listed. Smartlinks come by default with those weapons (did they spend credits on them? Check the point balance). Page 231 (Hidden Concern Assassin) -- The weapon section has an extra newline before viewers. Page 232 (Hidden Concern Assassin) -- Weapon section. The Sniper Rail Rifle cannot use Reactive AP Ammo. Page 232 (Human Impersonator) -- Under the trait section. 70 points worth of positive traits are listed. The limit is 50. Page 232 (Human Impersonator) -- Again the hardened skeleton bonuses are listed in parentheses (maybe I should assume that this is what the devs intended and list all the instances where a bonus from gear is NOT listed in parentheses? No I am not going to go back and redo it, plus all the other books included it) Page 232 (Human Impersonator) -- Weapons. Smartlink does not need to be separately listed as it comes automatically. Check the point balances to make sure the character did not purchase it with points. Page 232 (Human Impersonator) -- The Gear section. Has extra newlines after Exploit Software and after Spoof Software. Page 233 (Jovian Envoy) -- Gear Section. There is an extra newline after Muse. Page 234 (Machine Hunter) -- Armor Section. The correct armor value should be 24/21: 2/3 (light bioweave) +13/13 (Body armor heavy) +4/2 (ablative patches) +2/0 Fireproofing +3/3 (Full helmet). Page 236 (Titanian Programmer-Archeologist) -- 'Archeologist' is actually spelled 'Archaeologist'. You are missing the 'a'. Repeated numerous times throughout the section. This might be one of those 'American' English vs. Other English things though. Page 236 (Titanian Programmer-Archeologist) -- Tough Trait should not have the bonus listed parenthetically (like the bonus from respirocytes aren't). Page 236 (Titanian Programmer-Archeologist) -- Armor section. Should probably specify that it is a standard vacsuit, not a light vacsuit. Page 237 (Venusian Gargoyle) -- Skill section: There should be a +10 bonus from the Oracles to the Investigation skill (15 total). Page 237 (Venusian Gargoyle) -- Implant Section: There is an extra newline after 360 vision. Page 237 (Venusian Gargoyle) -- The name of the faction should be 'Venusian' not 'Morningstar Constellation'. Page 238 (Ultimate Gatecrasher) -- Muscle Augmentation cannot be turned off (and why would you want to?). So SOM Morph Bonus should just be listed as 15 and Total should just be listed as 20 (similar to the way the Carbon Reaver Pirates is listed). Page 238 (Ultimate Gatecrasher) -- The reflex booster bonus should be in parenthesis (or the flexbot Traceur's listing should be changed). Page 238 (Ultimate Gatecrasher) -- Smartlink and Safety System come standard on weapons. They don't need to be listed specifically. Make sure the character didn't purchase them with CP. Page 238 (Ultimate Gatecrasher) -- Smart Vacsuit is listed twice. Once in the Gear section and once in the armor section. Also it should probably specify that it is a smart standard vacsuit, not a light vacsuit. Page 239 (Zone Stalker) -- Gear. '4 Scrapper's Gel' should be 'Scrapper's Gel (4)' to maintain consistency with the other listings.

Some additional notes on the characters (not technically errors): Anarchist Militia Volunteer and Dig Ops Specialist -- Both these characters have QE Comms but no Qubit Reservoir. So they have a piece of equipment that is pretty useless unless they can get their hands on a qubit reservoir. Not really [b]wrong[/b] but sort of weird design choice. Argonaut Xenolinguist -- Redundant seems to be a theme for the Argonaut Xenolinguist. The character has both mental speed and multitasking, enhanced vision and ultraviolet vision and specs (which overlap with the enhanced vision mod and their t-ray emitter) Also: I have updated my previous post (again)

page 196 (Theseus) -- The cost for the Theseus morph seems way off. The morph contains an emergency farcaster (expensive) but is only expensive itself. Likewise it only costs 30 CP, while the emergency farcaster by itself costs 20 CP.

Cases are similarly odd since they are a moderate cost morph that contains a moderate cost cyber-brain. I tend to assume that a case's cyber-brain is made cheaper by using less size-efficient components that work fine in the case that is built around them, but would be too bulky for another morph (and would keep the lemon trait). The CP cost can be waived over since CP cost seldom correlates well with price (it isn't like the presence of a farcaster significantly effects game balance). The monetary cost on the other hand has little explanation. Good catch.

P222: caps the bonuses to 30, but the Remade 2.0 and Hyperbright each have summed bonuses of 35 and no augmentation that would affect their aptitudes.

So in the packages I noticed a few errors (in my version of the book, which is 1.0.1): p. 24 under Europan: 'Pilot: Submarine' should be 'Pilot: Watercraft' p. 33 under Icon: 'Networking: Socialities' should be 'Networking: Media' Not really an error, but it bugs me: Field skills that are prechosen sometimes have parentheses around the second part and sometimes don't. They should probably all have the parentheses removed (as it is redundant with the colon).

So most of the Async packages in the package character creator clam to let you start with more sleights than is legal. Like, one of them starts you with EIGHT. There's other stuff that's supposed to be impossible in core too, like AGI starting as psychics. So should we let these slide, or replace them with stuff that makes sense? WHAT would you replace them with?

Brain Box is a robotic enhancement but the text says "Any POD and any synthmorph that does not use either modular design or swarm composition can house a brain box." (Emphasis mine) Though I suppose it's easier to believe that a Pod could support a fully organic brain than a complete machine.

Do you mean 'Anathema' which means to be cursed by the pope, (or the council).

from Transhuman wrote:

In the inner system, there’s not much legal debate on AGIs; they’re either property or an occasion to sing anthems.

So you're either singing a rousing, uplifting song, (anthem), or one of curses/excommunication, (anathema). I can't see any reason for either song tbh.

Stephenson.

The spray weapons goes from 35 to 55, unless there is a special bonus, should it just be 35 in the total column?

ah indeed, well then it is a question of how much made this into the book before it was printed
