Follow-up question: Catalyst put a lot of "Tweaking the X rules" sidebars in books. Would you include those as an option (as far as they're relevant to chargen)?
That sort of thing may not be in the initial release, but we could well go back to it and add it later. It's also likely that we'd only add the more popular optional rules for a while; if we have a huge groundswell of players saying "I need optional rule X" while nobody asks about rules Y and Z, we'll probably implement rule X much more quickly.
This assumes that rule X wouldn't be a problem to implement, of course; sometimes optional rules are "wacky" enough that they're hard to implement in Hero Lab. At that point, we have the choice of spending 2 days on optional rule X, or 2 days adding new features from a supplement book that everyone will want.
Once we're further along in development of the Shadowrun files, that would be a good time to ask about which optional rules we'll initially have. That way we can implement any easy ones that everyone wants quickly, and leave the less used ones until later.
