I think that's contradicted by pg 73: "The first step when creating a changeling character is to choose a normal metatype (human elf, dwarf, ork, or troll), metavariant..."
I think the part on pg 110 is talking about the fact that metavariants get free metagenetic qualities from their race - it's not allowing them to purchase more. |

I originally misunderstood what was wrong, originally I thought you were saying that you took changeling and then wondered why the metagenetic qualities weren't counting against your 35 total quality points, once you posted that you were doing this to a Formori, it made more sense. |

That's not what the rules say. The original quote was talking about actual changeling characters... Metavariants are Metagenetic by default.

On the personal tab, in the "Permanent Adjustments" table, there's a "Negative Quality Build Point Limit" adjustment that you can use to allow more or less negative qualities.

I suppose you could read it either way. The best bet would be to get a clarification from the authors.
There's other problems with Metagenetic Qualities. Page 110 lists several normal qualities that are also metagenetic. We talked about this in the developers forum a few months back, and I forget what you had said, but this is important if somebody wants to use the negative qualities to offset something they changlinged for.

Mathias on that same page, in the paragraph below, it says this
(After a metatype is chosen, transforming the character into a changeling is as simple as choosing one of the 3 levels of the Changeling Positive quality (next column).) it says Metatype , but does not say metavariant. what I read is the only ones that can take them are metatypes with the changeling quality, Metavariants and a Non-Metahuman sapient if a gamemaster allows it. Correct me if I'm wrong in the way it's stated. |

jbear,
If Shadowrun rules didn't conflict themselves in the same book, well it wouldn't be Shadowrun would it |
