  • pg. 28 CREATURES WITH OTHER HIT LOCATIONS
    “Some creatures in the wasteland may have other body parts—wings, claws, and tails—that do not appear on the hit location table. These locations will be listed in the creature’s statistics, replacing the Hit Locations table with its own.”

There are a lots of non-humanoid creature in the book, but different hit locations only mentioned at pg. 54 for PC Mr. Handy. Not even at NPC Mr. Handy.

  • Mister Handy and Mister Gutsy NPCs have “Reach C” with their melee attacks (Pincer, Buzzsaw). There is no similar statement at Mister Handy PC section.

  • Synth are immune to Fear, while their mind is more human-like, while the program-following military robots like a Assaultrons, Sentry Bots and Turrets are not. Seems a little illogical.

  • pg. 373 ; 374 ; 375 ; 376 ; 395; “INSITITUE LASER”; shall be Institute Laser, 2 typo: extra I between INS and TI, missing T between U & E

  • Many times in the NPC section the description say : “X CD Piercing 1 Energy damage” or “X CD Piercing 1 Physical damage”. Without comma it could be confusing. “X CD, Piercing 1, Energy damage” and “X CD, Piercing 1, Physical damage” would be much better.

pg. 339 Bloodbug

  • It has no IMMUNE TO POISON special ability, but Poison DR say it is immune. Either should have the special ability or Poison DR should be 0 (or more)
  • “PROBOSCIS: BODY + Melee (TN 9)” ; Body 6, Melee 1, TN should be 7

pg. 340 Bloatfly

  • Description say : “these creatures attack from a distance using their own dart-spined larvae launched from their abdomen”
    But their only attack “LARVE DART” seems like a melee attack, they have no ranged attack, not even a Close Range reach.

pg. 342 Deathclaw

  • “HEAVY OBJECT: BODY + Guns (TN 9)” ; As pg. 336 say: “Guns is for all attacks with firearms, energy weapons, explosives, and throwing weapons. If a creature has a Guns rating of –, it cannot make ranged attacks at all.” As Deathclaw using heavy objects as throwing weapons, Guns rating should be 0 to them and not –

  • “PINCERS: BODY + Melee (TN 14)” ; Body 8, Melee 5, TN should be 13
