Much obliged, and no problem. You do a terrific job for all of us, and I don't mean to complain about it. I just figured I'd mention it because, as you say, it did work in the past. We all really appreciate the effort you have put into this program. Thanks again. :) |

Problem: Bad Karma Flaw
When this is chosen, and a character is Finalized, it initially shows the correct Karma Pool when Karma is added. After that, it then changes to a normal Karma Pool calculation (with the exception of when you view the Biography page for some reason). For example, I am trying to recreate a 421 Karma human character with Bad Karma. I add 421 Karma, and the program then states that I have 400 available and 22 Karma Pool (which is correct). If I then go to any other page (or save), the settings change to read that I have 379 Karma available and a Karma Pool of 43. If I view the Biography page however, the settings (little red bar at the top) display the correct (400/21) calculations. This means that I cannot actually spend that last 21 Karma that should be available. This has happened on several different characters and number combinations, and is not new to the latest update. Is it possible for you to fix this anomaly? |

Well, what you heard is based on the FAQ ruling, which is inane, and not at all consistent with what the book actually says.

I've got a character with CHA of 5, Negotiation of 4 and Fast Talking Spec. of 6. After character creation, I went to improve Negotiation to 5, and NSRCG says that only costs 5 Karma. It sould be 7, as per <new rating> x 1.5. It seems to be calculating the cost as if it was a new character...paying up to Neg 5 and then taking Fast Talking 6 (effectively rebating the karma from the Fast Talking 4->5 step). The BBB suggests that specializations are on their own after character creation, and that you do not receive "rebates" of karma (though that is specific to attribute increases related to skills).
Am I misreading or missing a rule? I hunted in this thread, NSRCG's online manual, the SR FAQ, and the errata and couldn't find anything about this. |

BUG: I took the flaw Total Pacifist (Using Sum to 10, Human Aspected with 90k Resources and 3 Attributes and 2 Skills). I then assigned attributes: 3 in physical, 5 chr 6 int 7 wis. Had bonus attribute: wis (obviously), aptitude bioware, and total pacifist. When I moved past attributes, I was told my character was illegal... and in GM info got:
"Incompatible: Total Pacifist vs Total Pacifist cite: src.23" |

I had a similar bug that I listed earlier. There's a quick fix you can do by going to the incompatible .dat file, and coment out the lines dealing with total pacifist. Not a great solution, but a temporary fix.

Why is it that when you "finalize" a character, any remaining funds get's changed into some stange and off the wall amount?

Any remaining funds you have are divided by ten and added to your starting cash. You then recieve 3d6x100 more cash as per standard creation rules.
Because the base skill Negotiation is still equal to your Cha attribute, not over. |

Is the dat editor currently working correctly? I wanted to add a few of Raygun's..guns.. in that i think i might use relatively often, but whenever i go in and try to open up gear in the viewer, i get a blank list, while other parts (i know adept and magic for sure) both work.
it does open up into word however.. is that the only way to edit some of the files? |

Yes, all of rayguns equipment is included in the latest version of the program, you've gotta enable his 'book' though otherwise you cant see the gear that has been added.

So what still needs to be added to make this thing fully SR3? I see there's a coming soon or whatever for the ally spirit. Is there anything else?
Is it all on hold/abandoned since the new SR4 is on the way? |

I noticed the Symbiotes and Hyperthyriod Glands don't increase the cost of lifestyle like they should. They invalidate the lifestyle selections you've already made, but they don't increase thecost of new ones.

Also, you're still charged Karma for Language skills after you've taken the Linguist PsysAd power, which is supposed to make them free.

it only happens when you spend all the money to zero? or some of the money, what about the karma, do I have to spend all of it or just some of it .
I tried your steps and did not get an error... I must be doing something slightly different -Fahr |
