I'm making a character plus upgrading a SR4 Character Generator Sheet that I found online and I came across the following:
SR4 pg 240 There is a table of how much it costs to raise the Resonance and Signal of a Commlink. This is all fine but it got me thinking. I took the worst Commlink (Meta Link (1/2)) and gave it the upgrades to match the best Commlink (Fairlight Caliban (4/5)) so thats +3 Resonance and +3 Signal. The total cost of the Meta Link (upgraded) is only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 1500 vs the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 8000 for a stock Fairlight Caliban. Am I missing something? Can someone set me straight here or is this just a loophole in the rules? |
