Hi, I've been looking over the diseases in Augmentation and stumbled a bit over the rules for the "Timebomb" infection on p. 134. What kind of confuses me is this line:
QUOTE After the third resistance test, the pathogen suddenly releases the mycotoxin, leading to an increase of the Power level, which must be then resisted, causing Physical damage. However, there are no rules for how the Power level is supposed to be increased. I mean, sure, the Power level for every disease can increase over time, as explained by the resistance rules on p. 130. But does Timebomb have another way to increase its power level after the 3rd resistance test? The way I understand it right now, it works like that:
right? Then what does the sentence I cited mean? How is the power level increased? Is it 10 again, after the 3rd test and they forgot to mention it? It's really kind of confusing... |

IMO:
Speed 12 hours, Minimum Number of Tests 5 1st Test: Power 10, no Damage 2nd Test: Power 3, would do Damage but is unlikely to do so. 3rd Test: Iffy, but I think this is done at Power 3 (+residual power if any) again (increase power AFTER 3rd Test) 4th+5th test: Power 10 (+residual power) subsequent tests: residual power Short version: After exposure you have 48 hours to get O-Cells or magical treatment. Or have Body and Edge to spare (have to do math, donīt think it will work). |
