SR4A p.145 reads, "Most characters may not act in more than 4 Initiative Passes in a combat Turn (even if the spend Edge)."
Can someone tell me what this means? First of all, as I understand it, there is a particular combination of 'ware that you can get to give you a fifth pass when in the Matrix. Second, you can spend a point of Edge to get an extra IP. The parenthetical phrase indicates that if you already have four IP's (say, from Wired 3), you can't spend Edge for a fifth. So why "most characters"? Just for that odd case of a 'ware combo that allows it? Can I assume it means, "No character may act in five Initiative passes, except where explicitly allowed by gear or other rules?" |
