To each their own. As written, Tattoo Magic is its own metamagic technique that requires only the Enchanting Skill and Tattooing Skill.

I've never heard of it not being called its own Metamagic, nor do I recall ever having heard of Centering being a prerequisite. I can't believe that this hasn't come up here before.

I'll probably e-mail the FAQ guys about it, just in case. It's always good to know the canon response.
Agreeing with it, however, is another story. |

McMackie: I just downloaded the latest version of your generator. I made a Tiger Shapeshifter character and finalized. The character had Bad Karma. When I added karma to the character, the Bad Karma flaw didn't effect the Good Karma to Karma Pool conversion.
Any ideas? |

I keep meaning to mention that. It has never worked for me.

Oh, also, the Shapeshifter is given full Karma Pool like a Human, but they get half of that like Metahumans do.

Yes, it's part of the plan. The only question is: Ally Spirit Generation OR MJBB low/high chargen incorporation into my character generator first.... hmm. BUT first! Getting all of the currently reported bugs out first. ;D |

I believe you and it makes sense that Shapeshifters are treated like the other Metas BUT... I can't find a line anywhere that suggests this. Can you cite me a book.page or an errata to confirm...(I'm going to do this anyways but I want to be prepared for the complaints)... :) |

THANKS! 8) but remember that this is also the efforts of many people who contributed with DAT file updates, bug reports, and help for me to buy the source books. Thank you all! |

Just checked and the entry for "Bad Karma Flaw" was missing the modifier. It's an easy fix but means your character will have to be rebuilt. Sorry :( It will be included in the next update (I'm working on it now....) thanks for the feedback! |

This is a quote from Becks v2. I'm assuming you're using this as you didn't give me enough information. As far as I can determine, it is correct behaviour for all generation methods. Can you quote me a book.page where the program is incorrect? |

SR3 p. 246, Karma Pools. Be default, all characters must put one point into Karma Pool for every 20th Good Karma point they receive. It is a Human (as opposed to anything that can mimic looking like a human) racial benefit that they can do it with every 10th Good Karma point. |

Bug: creating an albino character is automatically illegal. In the GM notes, it says "Incompatible: Night Blindess vs. R:Alb:Night blindness cite: src. 20". However, I haven't tried to take night blindness as a normal flaw, just an albino one. This error didn't pop up until I got to augmentations. If I change the albino flaw to something else, it becomes legal again when I go into augmentation.

The appropriate quote from Shadowrun Companion p.34-35. It's a section about using the Priority System to build shapeshifters. "...All other priorities are assigned normally. Regardless of the assigned Resource Priority, Shapeshifters begin the game with only 5,000 nuyen. This reflects the fact that shapeshifters are animal in origin and have less access to gear and funds." 5000 nuyen is, of course, the minimum Resources allowed by the Priority system. They can't take less than that. Of course they recommend building shapeshifters with the Points system. In that system, it is possible to take less than 5000 nuyen. But the NSRCG won't let you take less than 5000 nuyen for a shapeshifter in the Points system, which seems odd for a being with "less access to gear and funds". While one could interpret the quoted section about shapeshifters in the Priority system to mean they must start with exactly 5000 nuyen, regardless of the character generation system, I doubt that was what the writers intended, nor does it make sense. My personal opinion is that they meant a shapeshifter could start with a maximum of 5000 nuyen, not that they must take exactly that much. While I'm thinking of it, since they repeat disadvantages shapeshifters already have, I recommend disallowing Shapeshifters from taking the flaws Biorejection (SC p.19) , Sensitive System (SC p.21), and Illiterate (SC p.23) |

Another nice addition would be page numbers and/or description of the effects of spells.

That'd take a lot of typing, Whiz...
Not to mention, then it'd be even easier for people to never buy the books and not support the game. |

Question: Would it be possible to put a line in the GM section everytime you spend karma? In otherwords, every time you hit the apply button for a karma expenditure, it adds a line; karma spent, spent on, and the date.
It does add a line every time you add karma and money - along with the date. That is very handy. Thanks! |

I found a nice little bug. The Wall Running adept power is listed at costing 1,00 instead of 1.00
I tried adding it and it said I didn't have enough points... it took me a while to figure out I was trying to add something that costs 100 power points! :) Note to users: To fix, all you have to do is edit the ADEPT.DAT and change the , to a . |

That's quite strange. While I edited the adept.dat I tried to insert a "." instead of ",", problem was that when I did that the cost immediately changed to 100.
1,00 is working fine for me. Strange..... |
