Looking at the Explosive's chart in the BBB page 283, I noticed that Offensive and Defensive Grenades don't list an availability score. Both say only "4 days". I haven't been able to find anything in the text to give me a hint as to what that score should be. I've also checked the errata at the Official web page and they have no correction to this. What am I missing?

That is truly odd. There's no correction to it in the Canon Companion master chart, the availability listing there is '4 days' also. I wish I knew what to tell you ...

Nothing in the errata about it, either. I'd give them at least availablilty 6, considering IR smoke and Concussion are 4 and 5, respectively.

If I was going to set one, I'd call it 4. I would think the simplest of simple hand grenades would be more prevalent and easier to find that the specialty stuff like IR smoke and Concussion. There's simply a lot more that really go boom. |

You're not missing anything. It's a genuine bit of errata.
Looking at the Availabilities of the IPE versions of Offensive, Defensive, and Concussion grenades suggests the Availability should be 5/4 days, however. |

I got a reply from ShadowFaq today.
I know everyone was waiting with 'bated breath for the thrilling conclusion ... ;) Of all the things I thought to check, my old 2E sourcebook was not one of them. |

The world would be a scary place indeed, if grenades were that easy to find.

On the other hand, if grenades were only slightly more lethal than your average heavy pistol, it wouldn't be so bad. |

Erk, you're right. I keep forgetting that it's half Power. Retracted.

Slightly worse in a confined space though, which is where fights often happen.
