I've seen a number of posts here about how binding spirits at Chargen is a waste of points, ditto buying Skill Specializations. There seems to be almost a universal consensus that its best to wait until you have some karma for that. Why is that? I'm a rookie when it comes to SR4, so I know I am missing something.
Is it just the low cost of Specializing at only 2 Karma? Or is it something else? Seems that 2 BP for a Specialization (or as I look at it 10K nuyen) is a fair deal. What am I missing? |
