QUOTE (Naysayer)
[QUOTE=James McMurray]Because in SR4, a skill rating of 0 is still a skill rating, and "untrained" does not neccessarily mean "not trained at all". Those guys know the basic concept of "looking for something" and usually, they get by. If a twinked out shadowrunner sneaks up on them all dressed up in camos and hidden by some magic hooya power, well, that's something else.
But they still get to make a test, defaulting to their intuition. Unlike somebody with no skill rating at all.
Hence the nitpickery. Sorry if taht rubbed you the wrong way. It was just that - nitpicking.

I never said they had no skill rating at all. I said they didn't have rating 1, and hence had no training. "Untrained" = "no training," at least according to my dictionary. What you're talking about is Unaware, which is an order of magnitude worse than untrained.

Nitpick all you want, by all means. But at least make sure it actually applies.
