Currently, the FAQ states that wired reflexes and reaction enhancers are not compatible. A while ago, someone posted that in SR4A, that combination is explicitly allowed. Is this true? Could you provide a quote if it is? Personally, I never really agreed with the FAQ, and I think that it makes more sense for them to stack. Especially since they do stack with move-by-wire, which already provides a superior Reaction boost.

This is what it says in SR4A p342:"When activated, wired reflexes confer a bonus of +1 to Reaction and +1 Initiative Pass per point of rating. Wired reflexes cannot be combined with any other form of Initiative enhancement, except Reaction Enhancers. " |

QUOTE (Glyph @ Nov 29 2009, 08:36 PM) Thanks. For the record reaction enhancers explicitly stacked in earlier editions too; I was surprised when the FAQ said otherwise, and largely ignored the ruling - I'd guess alot of other players did too for the same reasons relating to MBW. |

Wired Reflexes would be compatible with Reaction Enhancers but not with an Adept Reaction boost or a mage Increase Reaction ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) cyber matches with cyber and nothing else? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) that's pretty common from previous editions (where reaction enhancers frequently acted more like add ons to wired reflexes than stand alone gear.) |
