QUOTE (Runner's Companion) Experienced players may choose to shuffle these steps around a little...which is perfectly fine. I choose to build my character in this order: --Purchase attributes --Choose metatype By my reading, this would allow me to buy up attributes at the same cost as a human, then have the metatype increase various minimum attributes (and therefore the attributes themselves) later at no cost besides that of the metatype. This certainly appears to work if I buy qualities after abilities and create an Infected; does Dumpshock concur with my reading that it also works with metatype? Also, what is Dumpshock's opinion on the game impact if it does? |
