Actually, this is a fortuitous event which has a direct effect on a major NPC.

Don't see it.

Lucien Cross died in a plane crash the very day of Crash 2.0. Damien Knight bought up Cross assets while Horizon group went after its Corp Court seat.

Damn! They weren't pulling any punches!

Oh, BTW, WHO THE HELL IS ANGELA COLLOTON!?

What is Horizon?

Oh, and yeah... "Plane crash". How fortuitous.

How does Regeneration work now? Does it heal stun damage?

well given that the tactical computer have never been listed in the BBB for any version i know of (SR2+) i would not have expected it. most likely we will see it in the tech book whenever it shows up...

Huh? Why am i dusting off this old canister of Raid i had stashed away? Oh, no reason in particular. Say, you wouldn't happen to have a spare fly swatter about this long? *holds arms outstretched*

Man, you and I are on the same wavelength. That was the first thing I thought of.

But in SR3, a wired character would always go before an unwired character even if he had inferior reaction. Now razorboys will have to get their attributes up to a competitive level in order to win the first pass, otherwise they will be doing their three action passes with a nasty wound modifier.

For example, if in the old system a guy with rea 4 and wired reflexes 2 went up against a guy with rea 6 and no wired reflexes, the wired guy would have an advantage of ((4+4+3D6)-(8+1D6)=12) 12 points if both rolled their highest scores, while the lowes possible score he could get would be 11. In the new system, if we had a guy with ini 8 (rea 4+ int 4) and wired reflexes 2 and a guy with ini 12 with no cyber, the wired guy would have an advantage of ((8+2+10) -(12+12)=-2).. actually he´d loose if they both scored their hightest scores. I´m not very good with math so there may be some faults here, but I hope you get my point. (even if we used more moderate values as the system suggests, like ini 6 and 8, the result would be a tie if both rolled all hits)

I´m not totaly against it as it makes reflex mods even less mandatory, but it is a significant change.

Horizon is more of a media/entertainment company. Though that's a bit of an oversimplication, like saying Renraku is a computer company.

Yeah, but they were bragging about how much extra junk they crammed into this base book -- bioware's never been in the core book, either, or rules for initiation, or build-point character creation, or blah blah blah.

It was a long shot, but I'm just horrifically curious as to what the Tactical Comp can do without combat pool existing.

Bonus Dices?
Better Defenses?

Rob Boyle mentionend, daß tactical programs in your commlink can give you some bonus dices in corresponding situations.

Novatech was scheduled to have an IPO. Deus decided to take advantage of the high traffic event to upgrade himself. Pax and Winternight teamed up to release a stolen nanovirus worm which hit as the stock exchange got going and Deus appeared on the virtual trading floor...

Horizon is a multi media /PR corp based in LA. Saito is gone, earthquake flooded the central valley in 2069 (may recede in a year or two.) LA And San Fran escape.

It sounded like Deus was gathering himself up at the end of 1.0, but they left it open.
