High Guard Character Gen errata question

[agorski]

The only DM on the Shore Duty Life table (pg. 8) is "+1 if O4+", but the table itself goes up to a roll of 10, so this must be an error.

Should I assume that the actual DM is "+4 if O1+", like the Navy and Shipboard Life tables?

Seems like a reasonable assumption. Not sure if that got into the errata file or not, but you can find a copy of it here if you haven't already:

DonM will probably notice this and add it if it isn't.

Thanks! I looked in the errata and it seems to only have High Guard errata for starship design, not for character generation.

From memory when I coded this in my Application,
Something else also rolls on that table, which can have the +4.

Yeah, I'm coding it as well. I can't find any other DMs that affect this table. All the other tables can reach their maximum roll by using the DMs listed with the table. This was true in Book 4 as well.

Yes its a mistake, found that myself.

I thought I'd check the LBB5 first edition in case it was different, but it's the same "+1 if O4" there. I hope this "+4 if O1" correction makes it into official errata...

...because I just had a look at my other old LBB5 (second edition) and someone corrected it that way ages ago, in ink

 

[DonM]

Noted. Wonder if this is also MT errata...

 

[E.D.Quibell]

No. MT has +1 if O4+ and +4 if O7+

There is some MT errata thought.
