I dropped by the local bookstore today, noticed they had a copy of SR4, and snagged it. Giving the new (well, new to me, anyway) character creation rules a preliminary skim, I noticed this on page 84 under "Cyberware and Bioware:"
Bioware now costs Essence? Why? Please tell me this is a misprint. |
