On page 205, TDX is stated to be "a gravitationally polarized explosive." How exactly is this acheived? If gravitational waves or electrical fields are used to accomplish this, does a small EMP effect take place within a certain radius? Perhaps it is more accomplished along the line of a conventional Claymore mine?
If an EMP is generated, what would be considered a reasonable radius of effect; 10,100,1000 meters?
How does blast damage and Range increments work? Page 155 state some of the rules, but range increment for an explosive still causes some confusion in our group. How do the damage dice/saving throws change based on the range increment? Would placing an explosive in an object which would be destroyed (ie, a car) create more or less damage to surrounding people? (shrapnel verses unimpeeded explosive effect)
As you can see, I have a lot of questions!
All I know is that our group is bleeding from the ears,below half our lifeblood, and dragging our dying buddy through a recently "de-urbanized" area while avoiding the remains of the local bomb squad!
...and you should try to see what is left of the two car thieves that tried to steal our car after someone planted the bombs!!

) battery to power the CG for the fraction of a second needed. Outside of a strong gravity field they would perform just like conventional explosives with some shrapnel effects from the useless CG plate and battery. In this form I see them primarily employed as a future version of a Valmara-69 land mine (aka Bouncing Betty). The BB version used a spring to pop-up when triggered and explode at about eye level in a spray of shrapnel. The TDX version utilizes the CG to pop-up and dispenses with the shrapnel, instead using the CG field focused explosion in a relatively clean decapitation effect.
