Game Notes

The Blast Rating of C-44 explosives varies on the amount used and is worked out in the following way. For every 50 Grams of C- 44 used in an explosion a Blast Rating of 1 is added, i.e. when 300 Grams are detonated it will have a Blast Rating of 6, if a Kilogram is used it will have a Blast Rating of 20. If C-44 is used on its own these blasts will have no penetration, although this can be changed by the addition of some form of suitable shrapnel, this can be any sort of hard metal or ceramics such as ball bearings or nails and will give a Penetration of 5 to any explosions when added in equal quantities to the explosives used. There is no upper limit on explosion size possible when using C-44, but players should remembers how SLA views the use of such items in built up areas, SLA may also become suspicious if characters buy large quantities of C-44 without good reason. To control this GMs may want to limit C-44s use by placing quantity restrictions on players or by imposing the need for requisitions to obtain it. It should be at GM discretion how good C-44 is at a given task such as demolition and characters should need successful Demolition Skill roles to judge quantity needed and placing for a job. C-44 needs a fuse or detonator to make it explode it will not go off if burnt.
