-- As has been noted, directly adding to vehicle Speed leads to some unintended craziness. Suggest replacing the last part of the rules with the following reorganization, clarifications, and rewording:





-- Not perfect but I think it clears it up.

Astral Initiative Dice are inconsistent throughout the book, changing between 2d6 and 3d6.

References:
Character Creation Chapter, p. 101: 2d6
Initiative Attribute Chart, p. 159: 2d6
Astral Attribute Table, p. 314: 3d6

Occult investigator: +2d6
Street Shaman: +3d6
Corp Security Lieutenant: +3d6

General "unclear" stuff:

1. Arcana:
Arcana is said to be needed "to understand formulae that may be purchased over the counter" (p.142), but learning spells simply requires Spellcasting/Ritual Spellcasting or Alchemy. (p. 299). It doesn't mention Arcana at all. Could we get that in there somewhere?

2. Knowledge Skills:
Chemistry and Medicine are both active skills that appear also as knowledge skills. Where is the difference? Does a typical doctor really have both? (the example Street Doc doesn't.)

3. Dart Weapons:
Why is it that a dart PISTOL requires an exotic weapon skill, while tasers, which fire taser DARTS can be used with the pistols skill?

4. Touch spells:
Do you roll unarmed combat before or after you make the spellcasting test?

5. Cyberlimbs:
5.1 On what exactly can you use the attributes from a lower Cyberarm? One more sentence could really clarify things. Like "use average ratings when performing actions only with the arm"...
5.2 Would you apply the rules for extra condition boxes to armored cyberlimbs as well? (ignore hands and feet and halve ratings for partial limbs) It would make sense, that an armored cyberhand wouldn't add the same protection as a full arm...
(PLEASE don't start a discussion about this)

p.51/94/288/309
"Augmentation Bonus":
Character creation (p.94) refers to an "augmentation bonus", while Increase [Attribute] (p.288) and Improved Phyiscal Attribute (p.309) refer to augmentend maximum, but the general attributes section (p.51) explains neither of these concepts.
This is quite an important rule, which is sort of obfuscated right now.

p.115
The street shaman has a spell focus (health) with no rating and no subtype.
EDIT: meaning that it's not specified, whether it's a spellcasting, counterspelling, ritual spellcasting or sustaining focus.

p.140/372
The Social Modifiers table lists Street Cred as a dice modifier, while p.372 says it's a limit modifier.

p.165-167/179/180/196
"Firing Modes":
All the burst firing modes (and full auto) (p.179) can take advantage of the Multiple Attack Free Action to attack multiple targets, which the action itself (p.196) doesn't mention or explain at all.
Also the action descriptions (p.165-167) only mention this option for SB, LB and FA as a complex action, not for BF or FA (simple action), which p.179 does.
The Firing Mode table (p.180) could probably inform on that, too. (like a * unter notes -> multiple targets possible)

Additionally information on logical limitations would be welcome, like [max. targets] = [#bullets] or targets have to be within [#bullets] meters. (like with shotguns)
Right now, with a pistols skill of 8 I could hit 4 targets 2 before me and 2 behind with a short SB of 2 bullets... (okay it's silly, but still...)

Also when you attack multiple targets, do they still take the same defense penalty?
Can I make a short semi-automatic burst on purpose (shooting 2 times)?

p.180
The example mentions an Uzi V, but the book only includes the Uzi IV. (probably not important)

p.283
The example has a Manabolt deal stun damage. (also it's spelled Mana Bolt)

p.432
The Periscope's Wireless bonus seems to be the same as the item's base funcion.

The +2 comes from the archetype's Mentor Spirit (Snake, +2 bonus dice for Arcana).

Unless I'm mistaken, "(health)" is the subtype. As opposed to, for example, (combat).

That should read spell FETISH (health). (At Resources E +10,000 from 5 karma, he can't afford a Foci!)

Because I was bound and determined that it was going to be in the book SOMEWHERE, and I failed to get it up front in Concepts or CharGen. So I put it in the section I wrote and called it good.

There are no fetishes in SR5.

P. 139, 140

The Intimidation rules paragraph states that an Intimidation test is Opposed with Charisma + Willpower, but in the example at the bottom of the next page, the ganger is opposing with Intimidation + Willpower.

It seems like Charisma + Willpower would be the stronger resistance pool, and Intimidation + Willpower would place much more value on a character actually having the Intimidation skill to defend against hostile attempts. Given the typical negative modifiers a character already faces on making Intimidation tests, I actually feel targets Opposing via Intimiation + Willpower is the better balanced option. It rewards those who invest in the skill with both better offence against those opponents who don't take it, and better defense against those who do.

pg 453 under Smartlink. There is a reference to page 444 for further info, page 433 is a far better page to reference.

p 246 -- agents -- "use the rating of the device they run on and their rating (up to 6) for attributes" should probably be "and their rating (up to 6) for tests." I'm interpreting this as: they'll use the attributes of the device running them as their own, and they'll use their rating+those attributes as their skill test pool. However, I could just be confused by this.
p 266 -- riggers and deckers -- "your headware can mess with their wetware usually in the form of ... gunshot wound" you probably mean
"your hardware" rather than headware unless VCRs allow you to fire rifle shots from your forehead. (A much more appealing piece of cyberware in that case.)

(my new favorite find.)

p 271 -- The initiative order in this example is confusing because of the sentence "It doesn't take any actions this action phase since it doesn't have any commands to follow" after it has initiated full matrix defense. Nominally, Driver should be taking actions next and not the drone.
p 279 -- By text an Adept's magic going to zero means they are burned out, while mages burn out when their magic maximum hits zero. Presumably the latter is also true of adepts, but it's unclear from final sentence describing adept burnout: "If your magic attribute is reduced to 0 ...".
p. 282 -- legit question: using move sustained spell area action can you hit people out of your LOS. i.e. moving chaotic world onto cover. No, but wording doesn't make it explicit.
p. 283 -- Example with Rikki, second paragraph -- "A risky maneuver for, but" should probably be "A risky maneuver for him, but"
p. 294 -- physical barrier spell -- "reduced to structure rating zero" doesn't seem to jive with the structure rating rules presented in the combat chapter. There the structure rating never changes, but merely indicates the length of the barrier's condition monitor.
p. 309 -- Adept powers -- Does Attribute boost applied to strength affect damage? The description says that the power only affects dice pools but doesn't explicitly exclude damage calculations. If it doesn't affect damage I find it counterintuitive and it might behoove you to add/explain the specific exception.

I'm not sure if this is an actual error or not, but it certainly doesn't make any sense to me:

The Biotech Skill Group consists of 3 skills:
1) First Aid (emergency life-saving paramedic/doctor stuff)
2) Medicine (non-emergency doctor stuff)
3) Cybertechnology (Building and repairing and maintaining machinery. You know, like what engineers/mechanics do.)

Additionally, the Biotechnology Skill, which consists of other sciencey/doctor stuff like "Gene Therapy", is not a part of the Biotech group.

So what gives? Why is Cybertechnology, a skill that more resembles Armorer and the skills in the Engineering group than any of the skills it's actually grouped with, in the Biotech group? And why isn't Biotechnology in the Biotech group?

Did the Glitch rules change or does the phrasing need to be errata'd?

SR4A (p. 62) "If half or more of the dice pool rolled come up as 1s, then a glitch results."
SR5 (p. 45) "If more than half the dice you rolled show a one, then you’ve got problems. This is called a glitch."

Emphasis mine. Did the rule change from greater-than-or-equal-to to simply greater-than? That changes a lot of the math and has some nonsensical implications. For example, it would mean that glitching with 3 dice (requiring 2 ones, 7.4% chance) would be more likely than glitching with 2 dice (also requiring 2 ones, 2.8% chance). Presumably the odds of a glitch should not go down by rolling fewer dice.

As a matter of in-book consistency, the Gremlins quality implies that it's still half or more: "For example, a character with a dice pool of 8 and Gremlins level 2 (8 Karma) would trigger a glitch if two or more 1s result from the test (instead of the normal 4)."

I hope this change is intended, as the old glitch rules made it almost impossible to roll 2 dice. The fact of a lesser number lesser of dice having a lower glitch probability is also present with more or equal ones (as in SR4).

Vision magnification: This zoom function digitally
magnifies vision by up to fifty times, allowing distant
targets to be seen clearly. For rules on using vision magnification
in ranged combat, see p. 177.

This should point to page 178.

This one kind of goes along with my Cybertechnology one:

There is a specialization under the Medicine Skill called "Organ Culture". That is, the growing of body parts in a lab.

Here's part of the description of the Biotechnology Skill, from p.144: "Biotechnology is a wide-ranging skill primarily used by
doctors and scientists to grow organic body parts."

It seems to me that the Organ Culture specialization under Medicine should be removed, as the specializations were apparently copy&pasted from SR4A (they are identical) without regard to the brand-new SR5 skill Biotechnology.

2 marks are listed as required, but the description indicates that only one is necessary to learn the target's location.

Pg. 434: the (Synth)Leather jacket has a listed price of +200Y, but no note of what that price modifies. If it modifies the price of, say, a Lined Coat, would you really be paying 200Y more for an overall armor of 4 as the leather is listed?

That would be on page 436

The Ares Duelist drone (p. 466) mounts a pair of standard swords as weapons. Swords do (STR + 3)P damage. Drones do not have a Strength rating. How much base damage do the swords on the Ares Duelist do?

I read that as a zen koan.

At least in SR4A, Drones got a Strength = Body.

+1 Edge pool.

Was just looking at the rulebook again on someones pad on RPG day. I don't recall seeing someone else post this in the thread...


In the combat section... right next to the Defender in melee -3 dice penalty short paragraph... is an example. I can't find rules anywhere in the section though which match the example.

Specifically it has in the example possibly hitting friends for firing into melee on some pretty draconian terms. (you miss... they need to dodge).


Someone else care to verify that the example does not match the rule and quite possibly reflects a mechanic which was removed from the rules. (I would have expected the actual rules as part of 'defender in melee').

The box has the wrong background. It should probably be a red box, as it contains the rules rather than an example.

Hat-tip to the SR4 forums.

Page 421


-- Shotguns and laser sights are not incompatible, either in real life or SR5. The Enfield AS-7 (p. 429) has a laser sight built-in.

p 316. -- Getting around mana barriers -- "they regain their full structure at the end of every combat turn" -- another reference to the idea of losing structure which isn't mentioned in the combat section.
p 465 -- Shiawase Kanmushi -- "Merely being stepped on or a tag eraser can destroy it ..." lacks parallel structure and sounds weird. Maybe try "Or targeted by a tag eraser ..."
p 336 -- Scene types, social -- "The gamemaster should note enough about the people ..." weird verb usage. It's OK, but I read it and immediately thought "should know enough ..." was intended.
p 349 -- Pace -- "... Don't mess withm it ..."
p 354 -- Street Scum -- Priority generation here differs form the sidebar on p 64
p 355 -- High Life -- Priority generation here differs from the sidebar on p 64.

p 267 -- Command Console Attributes Table -- Maser Industrial Electronics, Vulcan Liegelord and Proteus Poseidon don't make a ton of sense to me I think this has been mentioned before.
p 321 -- infiltration in the Cat mentor spirit bonus description. Probably in a few others too. This has definitely been mentioned before.

Are deck programs supposed to be so cheap or is there a price error?

Nope, they're meant to be that cheap. I'd've rather seen decks moderately priced and programs meaningfully so (as it is it feels like they might as well be free), but...ah well. At least we were able to cut deckers some slack somewhere, financially.

Same for p. 439.

Colt and Ingram are still going strong, despite one having folded in the early 1990s and both being wholly owned properties of Ares Arms. Brand names are extremely valuable.

Probably supposed to be 'smartgun,' as smartgun and laser sight bonuses are not compatible (p. 432)

why would a shotgun not be compatible with a laser sight?

Because error.

Why would a Shotgun not be compatible with a Smartlink then? O.o

It's not incompatible. The error appears to be "shotgun" in place of "smartlink." If I'm following things right. I might not be.

aaah, i capito!

p.238: The Crack File action should be Attack or Sleaze (as per table on p.244). Otherwise it would be impossible to access protected files without raising an alarm.

Pg. 100 "For details see Astral Initiative(p. 229) or Matrix Initiative (p. 313)."

The page numbers are mixed up, and off by a page:

"For details see Astral Initiative(p. 314) or Matrix Initiative (p. 229)."

...as Pg. 314 has the Astral Attributes, and Pg. 229 has the user modes.

Then again, there is *no* section titled, Astral Initiative anywhere in the book, only several (contradicting) references to what Astral Initiative should be. For Matrix Initiative, we have no dedicated section either. The User Modes doesn't make it clear what your initiative dice is, as unlike the Astral Attributes Table, there's no mention of what your total dice are by default. How augmented Attributes apply to Matrix and Astral Initiative is never described in the book.

The errata should be:

With:
For example, firing a drone-mounted weapon at a target requires a Gunnery + Logic [the lower of Accuracy and Data Processing] test, and using a remote underwater welder calls for a Nautical Mechanic + Logic [the lower of Mental and Data Processing] test.

According to p. 183 you use Gunnery + Logic [Accuracy] for remote operated systems, which Control Device is.

P. 90, Skill Groups & Indivudall Skills, table, Logic

Replace:
LOGIC

LOGIC
Academic Knowledge, Aeronautics Mechanic, Arcana, Armorer, Automotive Mechanic, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Computer, Cybertechnology, Cybercombat, Demolitions, Electronic Warfare, First Aid, Forgery, Gunnery, Industrial Mechanic, Hacking, Hardware, Medicine, Nautical Mechanic, Professional Knowledge, Software

[Since Gunnery can also use Logic, according to page 183]


P. 146, Gunnery (Agility), headline

Replace:

With:
Gunnery (Agility or Logic)

[See Gunnery on page 183]


P. 183, Gunnery, paragraph 1, sentence 2:

Replace:

With:
Vehicle-mounted weapons are fired using Gunnery + Agility [Accuracy] for manual operation, like door guns on mounts, or Gunnery + Logic [Accuracy] for remote operated systems.

[At least according to the the Gunnery skill description on page 146]

So the correct errata would be:

For details see Astral Attributes (p. 314) or User Modes (p. 229-230).

Change the Mana Bolt to Stunbolt, otherwise the example won't take down the ganger, since some of the damage will be Stun, and some of the damage will be Physical.

P. 115, Street Shaman, Spells

Replace:
Spells Antidote, Cure Disease, Entertainment, Heal, Mana Bolt

With:
Spells Antidote, Cure Disease, Entertainment, Heal, Manabolt

Actually, it'd make more sense if Gunnery only ever used LOG, as it doesn't make sense that it takes a radically different skill to manually operate the same gun depending on whether it's mounted on a gyro-harness or a weapon-mount.... so the rule on pg. 183 seems fine to me.

Gunnery should Be Logic based if operated remotely, and Agility Based if operated Manually.
