Grenades: Grenades are more deadly to people close to them. There are no modifiers to the attack roll on the grenade itself (not to be confused to the roll for determining where it landed) but the blast radius of the target. Use the following chart to determine the blast radius of the attack.

Clarification: Monoswords are not wooden. They are made of a special synthetic alloy.

Certain races have bonuses to skills that are not listed in Spacemaster: Privateers.  These skills are intended for release in Future Law.  While this was intentional, the text of the book doesn't address what to do with these skills.  A GM is encouraged to either not allow development of these skills without Future Law, or to use his best judgment in assigning effects to these skills.

A Grav Chute can be used to move by a light person.  Use the following rules of thumb:  A meter a round per 50 KG under 300. Adjust for gravity as logic dictates.
