Shadowrun 4 Errata, Post errors you've noticed here, please Options

[kylleran]

Since no product I've ever known of has been completely free of errors I'd invite you to post ones you've noticed here.

Please include page numbers when you have them at hand.

I'll start us off with the ocular drone. It's capacity cost is listed as 68. This should be 6.

I'll get the page number later.

[tisoz]

Ocular drone, page 332: aforementioned capacity, also description links to Lone Star iBall, page 241, should be page 341.

I wonder if Availabilities for Flare comp (24), Low Light (24) and Thermo vision (24)page 332, Wired Reflexes 2 (16) page 334 are correct as all are beyond recommended chargen availability and have been pretty standard for street sams.

The Essence, capacity, availability, cost headers on page 336.

Gah, something bad happened to the availability column of the chart on p332. It looks like two columns were accidentally merged. Going vertically, it should read:
-
4
6
8
4
4

12

Stickied the topic. Meant to start this thread up last night as well, and plum forgot. :)

p11, 2nd column, near the top in the Initiative section: "Initiative and End" should be "Initiative and Edge"

p195 1st column, in the Range section says that the radius of area spells is equal to the Caster's Magic rating, but the reference on p173 says that the radius of area spells is equal to the Force. Later on, in p203, the Light spell says its radius is based on Magic, but the next page, p204, the Shadow spell says its radius is based on Force. Which one is it?

p300 1st column, 2nd paragraph: States that the maximum availability at character creation is 8. It should be 12.

Page 264, under Improving Attributes, first paragraph, the example says to multiply new skill of 5 by 5 instead of by 3 as stated in previous sentence. Also has an extra ")" or a missing "(".

Page 175, first sentence under Requirements: All members taking part in the ritual must be of the same tradition and mus know the spell.

[TheJackal]

Page 316-317, Shock Frills is listed under Exotic Melee Weapons and Described on the next page as needing to be used with Nonconductivity but does not have a cost listed as either an add-on or otherwise.

Originally posted in the magic thread. Under Initiation on p. 189 it lists that only those with the Magician or Adept qualities can initiate. I hope that it was an oversight that Mystic Adept was left off of this list.

[hahnsoo]

p100 lists the Sprawl Ganger as having a Reaction of 3(4), but he doesn't get any bonuses to Reaction. It should be only a 3, with Agility being 4 (5) due to Muscle Replacement.

Also, the Street Sam on the next page, p101, should have an Agility of 5(7) because of his Muscle Replacement.

I know the first printing has just come out, but does anyone know when updated printings with fixed errata usually come out? I'm waiting to buy this book when it is more fixed so it doesn't end up like my SR2 and 3 main books filled with pen marks and margin writing.

The Unarmed Combat Attack table on p338 for Bone Density shows the damage progression going something like +0, +2, +1, +3 (all cases are Physical damage, with Strength/2 round up as the base). I think this is probably a mistake, as it should probably be a linear progression of +0, +1, +2, +3.

[tisoz]

Page 324-325 Audio Enhancement and Select Sound Filters are described as having ratings, but there is a single price and availability listed for each piece of equipment.

Page 327, Autopicker lists ratings 1-6 but a single price.

[Phoniex]

When looking up starting gear availability I looked in the "creating a character" section and the gear chapters, in the first chapter it said availability was 12 and in the second it said it was merely 8. Which is correct?

Also the called shot modifier that negates armour reduces attacker dice by the defender armour amount equally. How is that.. well balanced, because as it stands why use it when it gives no real bonus? unless there will be *another* smartlink 2 that helps out with called shots?

That is all for now :)

[tisoz]

Should probably explicitly state if a skill group is taken at chargen, then you may not raise a skill from it any further at chargen.

Might also state a melee parry will not allow the defender to inflict damage.

[hahnsoo]

The Matrix Combat Summary on p 232 is incorrect. It says that Hacking + Attack Program is used for Personas who want to attack. It should be Cybercombat + Attack Program. Also, on Defense, it says Response + Firewall is to "dodge" the attack, when p230 says Response + Stealth. I'm not sure which one is totally correct. We're going to play it as Response + Stealth for now (going with the Program + Attribute line of thinking)

Under p226, it says the related skill for the Attack program is Hacking. While this is true (for crashing Systems) it should also be linked to Cybercombat. Same with Black Hammer and Blackout.

[mintcar]

wow. lots of confusing errors.

[Nikoli]

Looks almost like we need a second printing before the first printing is fully for sale.

[NeoJudas]

Errata or Confusion?

Pg 110 under "Skill Groups", the "Tasking (Resonance)" group. No where in "the Wireless World" (pg 205 - 240) are those skills used. Sorry to say, but it seems kinda sad to have skills that are not used.

Compiling (pg 234 is Resonance + Software)
Decompiling (pg 236 is Software + Resonance)
Tasking (Registering) (pg 235 is Resonance + Software)

Uh???
