Alright, the book mentions the existence of visual and hearing range increments, and says I can see/hear up to 10 of them.

There's the implication that there is a penalty to notice/search rolls for range increments, but I don't see this stated anywhere. Am I missing something, or did it get omitted?

I believe it works as it does with firearms' range increments - a -2 range modifier for every increment beyond the first. I'm not quite sure where it says that right now, though.

Frome the errata~

Quote
Vision and Hearing (page 350): All references to a character’s “base visual range,” “base hearing range,” and “base scent range” refer to the character’s range increments with these senses. These range increments operate as described on page 347 of the Spycraft 2.0 Rulebook.

In other words, -2 to to your check per range increment after the first Smiley.

That would've been my guess, but I just wasn't seeing it.

Which means that the elves are ludicrous, with a base hearing range increment of Wisdom times 10 feet.

We had an experimental game where the elf player eavesdropped on a conversation from half a block down, and the two elf players could carry on a conversation from a hundred yards away while hiding.  Smiley

Crazy-cool.

Frome the errata~

Which errata is this? I don't see it in the 2.2 update. Is this something that appeared on the old board and never got reposted? Or just something in the hopper?

Which one was that? Probably about the books, yes? The delays with those have been legendary. Sad

Actually, that was cut-and-pasted from errata 2.1... which explains how another oddity I was trying to track down occured.

Er... I didn't think to look in 2.1, because I thought that was all in the 2nd printing PDF.  Undecided

I wouldn't expect you to have looked there - that's part of the other oddity I'm tracing.
