Pg 145
"The only way to affect an Initiative Score during the Combat Turn is with wound modifiers." Pg 145 (three paragraphs down) "If a character’s Initiative attribute changes, immediately apply the difference as a positive or negative modifier to the character’s Initiative Score. This new Initiative Score applies for any subsequent actions in that Combat Turn. So a character with Initiative 8 and an Initiative Score 11 who activates an implant that changes his Initiative to 10 (+2) immediately raises his Initiative Score to 13 (11 + 2)." Not earthshattering but it threw us a few minutes of confusion, anger and fear. |

Interesting. Are you quoting SR4 or SR4A? I can't find rule #1 in SR4A.

Yeah, the first quote is in SR4A and it's wrong. There are many ways to affect an Initiative Score during combat.

QUOTE (Method @ Apr 26 2009, 06:48 PM) Interesting. Are you quoting SR4 or SR4A? I can't find rule #1 in SR4A. Is in SR4A. Rule #1- P.145 Initiative Passes, second to last paragraph. Rule #2- P.145- Switching Initiative, second paragraph. |

Ah yes. I see it now. Definitely a contradiction. I'd disregard #1 and run with #2.

Cool, just hoping the devs see it and patch it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Post it to this thread http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=25706 if you want to keep all the errata in one place.
