Well, part of the problem I think lies in the design of the VCR, which is attached (according to fluff text) to a good bit of the brain that controls background stuff, like heart beat, kidney regualtion, adrenaline, etc. So I can see why this is strictly a Rigger issue as they alone are redirecting those bodily funtions, yes they still happen, but the signals received by teh brain for processing might muddy them up with the stuff it's getting from the VCR, so the VCR 'filters' the feedback from those organs, they still get commands, but the brain doesn't knwo if they are receiving or not. So your brain never gets the "flex arendal gland muscles" command and the hormones most useful for the body to deal with trauma doesn't get released.

Of course, I could just be full of it, but it works for me and I play riggers primarily.

Finally, another rigger who actually understands it!

Hmmmm, interesting rationalization of that ruling.
In that context I could see the modifier being used. If that's the reason the designers intended, it would've been nice to include that explanation, but meh, like it and keep it or hate it and lose it. Whatever.
That is the best rationalization for keeping it that I've heard, though.

I've always ignored that and used the -1 Stationary Target modifier that I'd use for anyone else.
