On top of that it narrows a rule down to a weird level, where super-humanly strong/tough bodies are encumbered by low levels of armor. When a rule makes you go WTF, that makes no sense I think it is a good time to step back and wonder if you are word gaming the rule too much. |

*sigh* ... "wearing armor" isn't a task either.

This came up at a missions event last year when a player tried to wear FFBA and armoured clothing under a full set of red samurai armor; body 4, strength 3. |

Something I noticed with drakes. Armor worn in human form is carried over to the dracoform.

Sigh, yes it is. Everything you do whether passive or active is some form of task. Or to narrow it down a bit given that wearing more armor than x2 your body can cause penalties it requires enough effort to be considered a task. You are word gaming this into a illogical conclusion, too me that is a hint that maybe that is not the rule.
Wearing armor is just one of those tasks that normally does not require any test, like driving a car under normal conditions. or moving without actively running. When moving without actively running it is still related to the persons strength attribute, but it only matters when a run test comes up. It is not like a person with two cyber legs is using his meat strength to propel himself at normal speeds and only uses the cyber when running. Just like a person would not use only his meat body for encumbrance except for when he wears so much armor a test comes into play. |

Getting a Cyberarm Slide doesn't let you put a gun into it, It's listed as a container, but not available when selection locations for a pistol.

So I have my character in advancement phase, and attempt to buy Wired Reflexes (1) (Alphaware) for them. Cost is ¥22,000, I have ¥121,000. After clicking "add", I would expect that available cash to go to ¥99,000. However, it only goes down ¥11,000 (cost of standard). Essence appears to be subtracting correctly for non-standard 'ware, but for some reason the monetary cost is not charging me correctly.
Looking at my character, I don't see anything that is magically reducing the monetary cost - or maybe I'm missing something? Advice appreciated. Note that if I explicitly say to pay ¥22,000 it subtracts correctly. |

Buying off "Uneducated" after selecting Naga, Pixie, etc from the race menu charges you the points but when you try to buy technical active skills it still charges double BP and gives you an error about not being allowed Technical skill groups.
Dartgun does not appear as a modification option under cyberlimbs (fingertip dart yes, dartgun no). Cyberlimb Armor modification does not appear to add to worn armor on the armor screen. Cyberlimb Comlinks do not appear on the Matrix tab. |

Cybergun (Squirtgun) does not appear as a modification option for cyberlimbs. Neither does the Cybergun (Taser) or the projectile spur.

Rating 6 Comlink Response or Signal modifications cannot be selected from the "restricted gear" quality drop-down menu.
