First and last character differ only by one? I didn't even have to throw that into a binary-to-ascii converter.

ulmont posted:Yeah, but mages have to take Magic A, no exceptions. That's not even strictly 100% true - a magician with Priority A gets Magic 6, two magical skills at Rating 5, and 10 spells. A magician with Priority B gets Magic 4, two magical skills at Rating 4, and 7 spells. You can still be a magician even without taking Priority A in magic. But wait, Magic 4 is lame and stupid, you say? Well, if you're a human who picks Priority D for their metatype, you get 3 bonus special attributes - one of which is Magic - allowing you to boost your Magic to 6 and still have a bonus point to put into Edge, same as if you took Priority E for your metatype. You still take Resources E because lol mages don't need money, but now instead of having priority B and C left over for attributes and skills, you have A and C. This equates to either 4 more attribute points or 10 more skill points, both of which easily cost more in karma than the 15 it would cost to buy three spells to get you back to 10.

OutofSight posted:Exebit A. In which "Olesh" proves, that all shadowrun players are awful powergamers. I've never even played pen and paper Shadowrun before; I created a character earlier this week for a campaign a friend of mine is starting. It took me all of 30 seconds to pick up on the fact that raising stats or skills with karma at character creation varies wildly in costs. It is trivially easy to create two characters with identical stats and skills but one of whom spent significantly more karma during character creation than the other for identical results. This doesn't go into advantages or disadvantages or cyberware or any of that poo poo, it's just basic character generation poo poo. When you offer multiple identical options, but some of them are arbitrarily more expensive, why would anyone knowingly choose the more expensive option? Why does the more expensive option even exist?
