Nnnnno. To both suggestions. You can't just default to (Agility - 1) on a full defense test, because full defense is not an Agility + Gymnastics test. It's a Reaction + Gymnastics test in this case. You can't substitute an attribute for a skill when it's being linked to a totally different attribute. Personally I'm not a fan of the Gymnastics dodging at all. I decided not to nix it, since there are characters in my group who'd pump Gymnastics as part of their character concept, but I ruled that (in addition to the "or" instead of "and" on melee/ranged) when using your Gymnastics you don't get the free action you'd otherwise get that turn. Therefore, you can't run in your turn, you can only walk. This can make a real difference when people are shooting at you. |

Asking for the sixth week running, months after the debut of SR and 7 months after this was posted to the SR4 FAQ:
"Q. Will there be rules for converting characters from SR3 to SR4? A. Yes, we will publish a conversion guide on the website (not in the core rulebook)." (March 28th, 2005) So, any news on this? Is it still planned? When might we expect to see it? --K |

The conversion rules are available on the main site; HERE
If I was beaten to it, oh well. If not....:D :spin: :D Now I just have to wait until X-Mas to read my copy of SR4 (I have it on reserve & holding at my gaming shop). :S |
