SR4 FAQ, Part Two
Q. Will riggers be combined with deckers/hackers?
A. Yes, we are removing the distinction between them. This does not mean riggers will go away — there will still be hackers who specialize in drones, vehicle operations, or security systems. But the protocols, technology, and game mechanics behind them will be the same.
Q. Will character generation keep the priority system or be point-based?
A. It is a point-based system.
Q. Will Open Tests be kept?
A. Nope, they’re gone.
Q. Will there be rules for converting characters from SR3 to SR4?
A. Yes, we will publish a conversion guide on the website (not in the core rulebook).
Q. Has Mike Pondsmith abandoned CP203x to work on SR4?
A. *Blink* Uh, no.
