hey everyone out there. Im kinda stumped here as too the defenition in the sr3 book. i know this mite sound like a horribly stupid question, but do smartlinks require cyber eyes too operate? also.. on a different note: when you guys often bring up "cannon" what exactly does that refer too.
thanks guys for your patience. |

Unless you mean "Canon", in which case it's a polite (or sometimes not-so-polite) way of saying "RTFM".
Canon = the collection of storylines, plot hooks, rules, and other parts of the Shadowrun game that can be considered official. Cannon = a big, big gun. Or a short way of saying "Cannon Companion" (also CC), a book about big, big guns, and similar ways of inflicting pain upon the unrighteous. :cyber: As to your first question: No, a smartlink does not require cybereyes to function. They can reduce the overall essence cost of a smartlink, though not appreciably. For more information on that, see Man & Machine. |

No. Smartlinks work without cybereyes. They include their own display system. This is described in greater detail in Man & Machine, which breaks smartlinks into their individual components and allows you to substitute other cyberware for the components. For example, display links and video links can be used in place of the Smartlink display system.
You want definition 4 in the following dictionary excerpt, though the first 3 are close:
In other words, "canon" means "accepted as officially part of the Shadowrun universe." There's also the term "canonical" that gets little use around here, but is also illuminating about the meaning of "canon"
