Rules Questions from the Tome of Excess

By Terraneaux, in Black Crusade Rules Questions

1. Noise Marine's 'Dread Wail': If it is used to increase the damage of sonic weaponry, how long does this effect last? Also, one of the other abilities listed states that a Hard WP test may be made to resist the effects of Fear (2). This seems to be an oversight, since Fear (2) means a further Willpower test would have to be taken. Was the ability meant to imply that a Hard Willpower test would be made or else one would have to suffer a roll on the Shock Table?

2. Pirate Prince of the Ragged Helix's 'Creatures of Comfort' ability: Additional degrees of success on the acquisition of goods and services seem not to matter much; was this ability instead intended to grant a +10 on acquisition tests when acquiring goods and services of Good quality or better, or was it, taking it at RAW, only meant to apply to things such as the 'Infamous Acquisitions' on p. 75 of the same book, for which degrees of success on the acquisition roll have an explicit effect?

Anyone have any idea?
