Okay big questions:
  • How do you turn it on?
  • Does it prevent all pain modifiers both stun and physical?
Sorry, but some of the SR4 descriptions for things are really lacking.
QUOTE (SR4 @ p. 340)
Pain Editor: The editor is a cluster of specialized nervous tissue designed to filter sensory stimuli. As long as the pain editor is active, the user can ignore the injury modifiers of Stun damage and will not fall unconscious when the Stun damage reaches its maximum. The subject feels no pain and is unaware of the extent of damage taken without examining herself or being informed by a biomonitor (see p. 329). Whilve active, the pain editor provides a bonus of +1 to the user's Willpower attribute, but reduces her Intuition by 1 point (never below 1). Additionally, all tactile Perception Tests recieve a dice pool modifier of -4.

I forget how it worked in SR3, but Im pretty sure that it removed all modifiers from damage. It also says that the subject feels no pain, but is this all the injury modifier is from? It doesnt say that you ignore only the injury modifiers from Stun, but is this just nitpicking? Please clarify.
