I've been looking in the book and I'm having a real hard time finding anything that says whether there is a discount for building an item at character creation. I 99.999999999% there was in 3rd edition, and I'd like to know if that came over to 4th edition and my search fu is failing me or if any of you have a house rule on it.

An example i have is that one of my players has the armorer skill, and would like to build his Ares Predator instead of buying it. Is there a discount I can give him for building the item instead of buying it?

Yeah, same reason Trolls get to pay regular price for gear at chargen but then have to pay extra in game.

wait what? o.O did they change that from SR3 to 4 or have i been doing that wrong all the time?

(As a rule, we suggest that metatype modification costs not be incurred for any gear purchased during character creation.)

*writes that one down for further examination*
as an aside . . i'd probably let people who built their own stuff put in some fancy extras . . like making a panther cannon come in pump action for example *g*
