Our group is relatively new to shadowrun.
Got a couple questions about advancing our characters.
In SR3 p.244 it states explicitly that attributes can only be raised one at a time, you pay double karma for the next level of the desired attribute, eg 5 -> 6 = 12 karma.
For increaseing your skills, the rules arent as explicit as the rules for attributes.
Say i have pistols 3 and i want to upgrade it to pistols 6.
Do i just pay the cost for 6?
Or do i have to pay the karma to upgrade to pistols 4, then 5, then 6, which is obviously much more expensive.
Also, looking at the FanPro site, in the errata section it says the following:
p. 245: Skill Improvement Cost Table [3]
Less than or equal to Attribute Rating 0.5
Less than or equal to (2 x Attribute Rating) 1
More than (2 x Attribute Rating) 1.5
The book says
Less than or equal to Attribute Rating 1.5
Less than or equal to (2 x Attribute Rating) 2
More than (2 x Attribute Rating) 2.5
Does this just mean that in the 3rd printing they decided that raising skills was way to expensive so they reduced the cost multipliers by 1 each?
Or does this just refer to the specialisation multipliers?
Or whats the deal?
