Is there a place that lists the Complexity of Security Devices?  I saw a mention that it should be on the Tables in chapter 4, but I can't find them there.  It looks like the Time requirement for disabling or installing is based on this.

Thanks!

It seems to be missing.

If you need a quick and dirty solution, make the complexity 10 + PR x 2/+PR.

Huh. Our apologies. Krensky's solution is a good fix.

From memory the table you're looking for is in chapter 7 towards the end of the complications section

I just checked. No Complexities. We were apparently smoking the good stuff that day.  Embarrassed

Perchance you mean apparently wereN'T smoking the good stuff that day?  Grin

With that out of my system, I must say Krensky's formula works fine and is quick to use. Me likes it.

Wow, you're more productive with the good stuff? I apparently got shafted in the biology department.  Cheesy

I, for one, write papers much more efficiently after I have altered my internal chemistry.  Some popular party powders fail to work right though.

10 + PR x 2/+PR.

Could someone rewrite this equation for me? I don't seem to be parsing it correctly.

Does writing it Complexity = 10 + (PR x 2) and Error Increase = PR help?

Also I could have sword I've seen that formula somewhere for complications and security devices and such.   Who knows.

Sounds like an up and coming A&E Intervention special:  "He used to write 20 pages a day.. no.. he smokes.. 20 pages a day.  His friends and family, armed with dice, confront him.  Next, on A&E's Intervention." 

(Granted, addictions are nothing to actually joke about, but I'll tip toe the line for a moment.)

Tremendously. I kept reading the "/" as an operation rather than a (heh) divider. Tongue
