is rounding done in the characters favor? I have forgotten, and I can't seem to find the ruling in the book again.

Willis

please, no mean or hateful responses. I'm tired of them.

I think it's in favor of the characters.

I know that the condition monitor's are in favor of the characters with a round up and drain is similar, though the Force/2 is rounded down (thus less drain). There's probably a counterexample somewhere, though.
Ophis
yep, it seems that way, unless otherwise mentioned in each case

I'll add a 4th pro-character vote. I don't recall a case where rounding didn't favor the player.

Of course, force/2 round up for drain and condition monitors rounded down is in favor of the characters when used for NPCs.

Check out the page about the Body attribute of Cyberlimbs.

It would have been great if there was a blanket rule to always round up or always round down.

But NPC's are characters, thus you round in favor of those characters as a GM rotfl.gif

It would be great if there was a lot less rounding.

Well sure, but occasionally division is going to rear its ugly head.

This is what I always do. I just always round up. Sometimes the PCs get a benefit, sometimes they get screwed. I don't truck with a lot of obscure situational rules.

Unless those would allow me to more efficiently orchestrate the demise of the PCs under my tender auspices, of course.
