Speaking of skill groups here is a question say I wanna play a rigger.
I can take a skill group for all the mechanic skills but not for all the pilot skills that seems off a bit. Yes I know there are quite a few pilot skills but say ground, water, air, & anthro as a skill group? Just a thought. |

Sorry, but adding another skill group would exceed the scope of changes which I'm willing to make for Missions.

Rigger's best friend is skill wires, IMHO.

As we now have new books available I have new and old players asking questions as to what's useable for Shadowrun Missions most of which you have covered.
But I have a question we have cyberware and bioware cyber is cyber bio is bio which you have covered. If you get 2 points bio and 1.9 points cyber the cyber is halved flip it around and the bio would get halved it all goes off of the rule of which ever is gerater again which you have covered. So now we come to the shiny new book Augmentation which has genetic and transgenetic modifications and nanite modifications. As I understand it gene stuff is considered bio when doing the math for essance and nano is cyber when doing the math for essance is this correct? Also are gene and/or nano subject to the rules of grades I.E. normal second hand alpha beta delta? Just some thoughts. |

Not an official Missions Dudeâ„¢, but the canon rules are ...
Yep. Note that it's only the nano-cyberware actually costs Essence, not the nanites themselves.
Geneware is never subject to Grades, and cannot be acquired 'used', which is technically not a Grade. Nano-cyberware (but not nanites themselves) fall under the normal Grade system though. |

QUOTE (paws2sky @ Mar 10 2008, 09:05 AM)  Is there a current FAQ for people wanting to build SRM characters? No FAQ per se. Standard build rules, almost all the released material is allowed, read this thread for some answers to some questions. Shadowrun Missions |

Ok so we have errata for Street Magic and I saw this:
“Adept Initiation. Groups may consider allowing adepts to gain 1 Power Point instead of a Metamagic at Initiation.� So is this going to be allowed in SRM's? I ask cause I know I'll be asked at the next event I run more than likely. |

This new news.
And while I'm not the Dunner: assuming that this isn't a late April Fool's joke, I believe that the entirety of Runners Companion is meant to be optional rules. SRM does not run with any optional or house rules, which should rule that out. |

Yeah but come on I had to ask, setting the dragons to the side there are however other metavariants and you know people are going to want to use them in SRM's. |
