I'm new to Shadowrun so I think I might be misunderstanding a bit.
If Hacking defaults to logic-1 and your logic is 8, wouldn't that mean you'd have hacking at 7? If you bought the hacking skill at 4 wouldn't you end up just lowering your chance of success on your Hacking+Exploit rolls? Heck, get a +3 bioware and Exceptional Attribute (Logic) and you can hit 10 Logic as most races. Why bother with the hacking skill at all? If anyone could shed some light on this I'd appreciate it. I can't imagine that not buying a skill would make you better at it, but that's what I'm reading so far. |
