Weird Science

An inventor may choose to roll
against Weird Science skill (p. 228) to
get a bonus to his Concept and
Prototype rolls. This bonus is +5 if he
is using the New Inventions rules
(p. 473). It is only +1 if he is using
Gadgeteering (p. 475), as those rules
already give large bonuses for the bor-
derline-weird concepts used by gad-
geteers. The drawback is that the
invention will have weird side effects.
Roll 1d-3 for the number of side
effects (minimum one), and then roll
that many times on the Random Side
Effects Table, below.
