A "Destroy Device" call (as per "Sabotage") maims an Automata limb (covered in an errata post, and as briefing, but not yet in the rule book that I could find). Does this mean that a "Repair Device" call (as per "Percussive Maintenance") can cure an Automata's maimed limb (similar to "It's Only Dislocated")? Or maybe only a maimed limb caused by a "Destroy Device" call (like "Purge Death" only works on a Death effect)? Or not at all?

Also brought to mind while I was looking through the Mechanic header: it was mentioned that Doctors can't perform surgery on themselves (not yet in the rule book), as it is too painful. More recently in this thread, it was mentioned that people can use "First Aid" to fix their own maimed limbs. Could an Automata use "Repair" or "Patch Job" on itself to cure a maimed limb or heal damage?

Answers:

Percussive Maintenance can be used to fix a maimed automata's limb. The call would be "Cure Maim to Automata."

Automata can fix their own maims, but can NOT fix their own damage.

Have their been any decisions on the alcohol rules? Life is a little rough for those characters with drinking problems. *ahem*

Or so I hear.

in addition, any word about the black market?

Another inquiry: How are bullets/ammunition going to be handled come the new season?

[Jacob]

I have it on good authority that the Black Market should be ready to roll 2 months before game on.

Regarding ammunition: we will be moving to communal ammo. Details will follow.
