Palladium does. Look at the Cutting Room Floor.
EDIT: It's stickied in the top portion of this forum.
Zerebus wrote:Lenwen, do you mean the following example?
Glitterboy A is caught in the blast radius of a fragmentation missile. It receives 5D6 MD to its Main Body, 5D6 MD to each leg, 5D6 MD to each arm, 5D6 MD to its Boom Gun, etc etc etc?
If so.... don't do that except for plasma/napalm and then only to make the player character inside think his whole suit is melting.

Appears at first to have been answered by Tinker Dragon, but we have no way of knowing if he was just copy/pasting the original thread, which has been removed, or if he was the one answering it and is / is not a PB staffer.

Still don't know who actually answered the question and unfortunately, without that, the arguments will most likely continue.
Lenwen wrote:I am looking for the errata that dictates that "Blast Radius" damage ( which is half when not hit directly) is applied by the book to the main body of those in the blast radius and not to everything on them in the blast radius.
Any shot which is not called will strike what is identified as the main body
A called shot must be made to hit a specific target or area such as a hand, head, foot, weapon, antenna, etc.
What are the rules for using SDC weapons against opponents in "partial" MDC body armor?
There are two possible sets of rules that could be used in this case...

Killer Cyborg wrote: Since we know that blast radiuses are not a canon way to bypass partial MDC armor like she's wearing, that would mean that a grunt with light Deadboy armor would be more likely die or suffer serious injury from a grenade blast than a woman wearing only a MDC swimsuit.
Moreover, going with the theory that the blast radius only hits areas that are statted out, this would result in an odd and unrealistic situation where a CS grunt would be more likely to lose his arms from an explosion if he's wearing armor on them then if he runs around wearing only the chest plate, leaving his other body parts unarmored.

They weren't.
This is why the old system was replaced.

Exactly my point, The old system was not the PB guys who wrote the books. There for the old errata did not make it into the new Rifts, errata section that is posted on here the Rifts baord.

Tyciol wrote:Maybe you could do something like 'targets besides main body take 1/2 (or 1/3 or 1/4, etc) damage. Basically, you could look at the ratio of the main body's MDC to the smaller parts' and figure out what portion they should take?

Cool.
You wouldn't happen to have a book & page # ?

Its not in the books anywhere, it is on a page with some FAQs from the old palladium site. But those answer's could be from anyone . Not just palladium staff.
So basically its not canon. Unless you want it to be canon. If it were canon they would have put the "Blast Radius" FAQ's into the current on the Rifts page Errata, and since they have not . Its clear to me that it is not canon.

1) - Stop saying if it were canon it would be in a book, your belief has no basis in fact.
2) - KS/PB can use the electronic medium to produce canon as easily as the written page.
3) - Also if you don't know that it takes PB years to get stuff in books, and sometimes they never do, then you have been looking at a different PB than I have.

1) -If it were canon it would have found its way into the current Rue Errata. It has not there for it is not canon.
2) - Yes KS/PB can use the electronic medium to put out canon easily, the fact that it has yet to be put out in "Current" Rue "Errata" shows me it is not canon. ( this is something you refuse to belive, yet go find me where it is IN the current Rue Erreta )
3) - Yes it does take YEARS sometimes for PB as a whole to put out something they said they would years ago, but then again were not talking about that were talking about the "Electronic" medium and the current Rue "Errata" or lack there of for the poupose of "Blast Radius".
It has not made its way into the current Errata, anywhere .. there for it is for now not canon. And as I stated an which was proven more then just PB staff were answering thier old question styled format. There for just because its on the old styled format does not dictate that it is in fact "Canon". And for further proof of this as I stated previously .. Show me anywhere in current canon books and or any medium with "Current" errata .. where it says it is.
You are mistaking the RUE errata for a place where PB gives rules clarifications. It is not. An erratum or corrigendum (plurals: errata, corrigenda) is a correction of a book. The RUE errata is a free electronic edition of later book printings of the RUE that were published with changes and corrections. Simply put PB doesn't want to get sued or upset customers by making people buy new printings of the same book whenever they publish changes/corrections to the book. Therefor they provide free access to the changes/corrections they made via web download.
PB is not going to stick every little rule clarification in a book. It costs too much and takes up too much space. KS has often said he's had to cut material out of books due to space restrictions. It's a business decision. Personally I would like to see more printed rules clarifications but so far KS has limited it to just a few pages out of dozens of books, that tells me it's not anywhere near PB's top priority to answer questions and clarify rules in a book printed setting. PB is much more likely to do it in an electronic setting like their web site where it's inexpensive.
