[Shadowrun 4 Core]Riggers Options

[Chrome Tiger]

SR4 at least puts every thing on the same set of mechanics. So much easier to use and to teach.

I really do like this aspect of SR4. No need to remember a gazillion different rulesets for everything. Okay, so maybe not that many, but still. As the game world seems to meld together all of its technologies, as it sort of is in reality, it does make sense that the technology gets picked up by everyone. No longer is Billy required to just know how to drive a car in driver's ed, he is require to know how a little about how the computers in the car work. His skills and the gadgets he buys will be quite different than a character resembling my real world interests who buys cars, finds ways to eke the most out of them, replacing computers, engines, transmissions, suspensions, and learns exactly what the car will and will not do under duress. That is the best example of someone that knows how to drive, and someone that LIVES to drive.

So, really, you need to WANT to make a Rigger character or make another character type that just wants to drive things. Either is doable, but neither should be discounted. To say that it does not make sense to have a Rigger anymore is to say that you have a lot of faith in your Sam's abilities to dodge the T-birds involved in your not-so-clean getaway. As long as there is crime, there is a need for a dedicated wheelman.
