The section on pushing rolls (p32) doesn't put any limits on when rolls can be pushed - do you allow PCs to push rolls and gain a condition when it doesn't really have a downside, e.g. haggling in town? I've been saying that you can only push rolls when in a stressful situation, but not sure what t...
For those like me, for whom diagonal is a verisimilitude issue, since 2×2 gives a diagonal of 8^0.5 is 2.8 and change... 3m is close enough for me and my group.
But to be honest, I usually use a measuring tape, not the grid.
If you use Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac, print them 8 to a page in the print settings.
If using Linux, booklet imposer can generate printable sheets.
Technically, Parry needs to be a bit better than Dodge because Parry comes with a risk (you can break your parrying weapon).

It should allow sharing WP and sharing sight. Range equals WP of the caster...
I've been reading 1st ed Dragonbane (making use of scans and Google Translate)... it's not quite a direct translation of BRP1 & Magic World, but it's really close. The formulae are tweaked a bit. Oh, and first ed has no Ducks in the core. Not even the mundane form. Unfortunately Worlds of Wonder...
It's worth noting that not all Xenomorphs are big enough/bad enough to charge down the hail of sentry-gun ammo. Especially Early in the infection. While the mechanics don't provide for pinning, for the smaller forms (facehuggers, chestbursters, starfish), a hail of fire would have me at least consid...
