Poisoning: In/SD or Re/SD?
« on: December 11, 2013, 06:40:35 PM »
Is Poisoning modified by In/SD (as stated at page 36) or Re/SD (as stated at page 46)?

It doesn't seem like those stats are really all that realistic for either making poison or being poisoned.  I think I'd use Re/In or maybe Me/In for making/using poison.  I wonder if the SD is an error and is should be the other two.

That typo has been in HARP and HARP SF since the beginning and from my review of the forum archives, I can find no trace of anyone ever asking about it....

The spreadsheets that have been created for HARP character creation seem to go with In/SD almost 100% of the time (including the ones I use), however now that you point it out, my recommendation would be that it should be Re/SD. I see the skill as a combination of knowledge and absolute body control (to avoid accidentally poisoning yourself).
