Are mundane and uncybered people obsolete? Reading through the 4th ed rulebook it seems to me that if you aren't magic or loaded with cybernets and wetwear you might as well stay home (unless you are a troll). I would like to have seen in this eddition more oppertunities for regular (meta)humans in the team. CUrrently it seems to me that the only real options open to non-troll, mundane, no-ncybered metahumans are faces and other charisma based characters (and even then you NEED a commlink and some skill with it) or a walking wallet (and then you would need some really great reason why you wouldn't have cyberwear. Any thoughts on this or ways to avoid it?
