When I started working on the SR4CG from Arturkis and Blakkie the sheet had a houserule option called 'Clout'.

I don't understand the house rule. If someone understands how it works, please post it here.

Does anyone ever use this rule? Any opinions on it?

Only Clout I know is the spell. I'll try to find the specifics.

Edit- Clout is as far as I could tell described on Corp. Guide page 19. It's the ability to get around bureaucracy, however I can find no rules for it.

I've never used it, because to be honest I don't understand it either. I find the "free CHAx2 points for contacts" house rule on your sheet perfectly satisfactory without getting into clout weirdness.

We already have contacts and the leadership skill, why would we need another attribute to do things that is already covered by other traits.

Relics of the past, relegated to the past.

The result is unanimous. Removing Clout from SR4CGDK.

Thanks for the input!
