Rumor has it he sold out his contacts to the cops and used the money on cyber.

Huh. My PDF has them. Hang on.

*checks*

Aw crud, I was thinking Activesofts, not Autosofts.

Nevermind.

Should Hold Out pistol be able to accept INTERNAL mods (i.e. Smartlink?)

Are spirits no longer immune to normal weapons? I didn't see it in the book anywhere.

As soon as they Materialize (p. 398) spirits gain Immunity to Normal Weapons.

Ah, thank you.

Spell foci now encompas:
-spellcasting foci
-ritual spellcasting foci
-counterspelling foci
and sustaining foci.

And if I'm not mistaken, you don't have the book/pdf (yet). So it's probably not the best idea to try to correct people on an errate thread. Not trying to be a dick here, but it just doesn't help.

Derp. I read it as "has a spellcasting (health) focus." Whoops.



And not to be a dick, but just because I don't have the book doesn't mean I can't point out possible misunderstandings when people post things. Those foci types existed in SR4, too.

and the joygirls wept

Thank you for getting it in there, at least!

Heh - I just did a search of the pdf - fetishes are mentioned a few places, even in the sense of THAT kind of fetish. But no limited-spell fetishes anymore...

heh, made you look didn't it....

Why are cyber implant guns Restricted (except the grenade launcher), but cyber implant melee weapons are Forbidden?

Let me fix that for you:

"It seems to me that a lot of rules should be changed/removed, as the specifics were apparently copy&pasted from SR4A (as they are identical), without regard to the changes made in SR5."

Ayup.

Do we have any word from anyone affiliated with Catalyst on when we can expect an errata?

chances are 50/50 between never and when 6th edition comes out right now . .
last i heard was that Patrick had managed to convice Hardy to let him have an official Errata-Thread on the official SR4 boards.
so judging from that, anything more sounds like an unreasonable expectation right now.
but eh, let's see if Mr.Goodman can't do a little bit more than that still.

Its a flaw of the system where they removed conceal as an attribute of weapons. Now every SMG has the same conceal when something like the uzi or ingram are much smaller than the AK. Similarly the descriptively huge Ruger is the same size as the browning ultra power. When they went through the trouble of adding a accuracy stat to promote diversity in guns they could have spent 5 minutes slapping conceal ratings on the guns as well. Though historically the room sweeper had a really high conceal for reasons I can't comprehend. Though I guess you can look at it like its not firing shotgun shells of any kind. Its just like if you put flechette rounds into your heavy pistol, its the added choke design that makes it shotgun like not the round. And given that all heavy pistol rounds are interchangeable even flechette rounds that seems to fit.

Come on now, they will publish the errata in the form of the 25th anniversary edition.

Right before SR6 ships, with a rule set, that is a mixture of SR5 and SR2
