Found a bug in Move-By-Wire Rank 3 -- it only adds 1d6 to initiative instead of 2d6 like it is supposed to.

That's not a given.  It requires errata, but for the time being, it contains a very clearly written line that says "and Rating 3 offers +3 Reaction, +9 Initiative, and +1D6 Initiative Dice."  The Reaction and Initiative bonuses are clearly totals, so one can assume the initiative dice is too.

However, here isn't the place for discussion/debate, I just wanted to illustrate that it's unclear and give the other side of the argument.  Make a thread or look for old ones if you want to say more.

Jeeze.  It would almost sound stupid until you realize we're talking about an immortal elf clown sword fighting a dragon ghost in a mall.

Huh. Joy. More Editorial Goodness. /facepalm

Thanks for letting me know.

EDIT: Re-reading it now, I think it was just a reading fail on my end and not an error in the book at all. So...mea culpa. Nothing to see here! Move along, citizen.

Yeah Rating 3 MBW averages out to the equivalent of having rating 3 WR. WR just has greater risk and potentially greater reward.

When are the new metatypes like dryad and the other things in? The book is out some time ago and I can not find it in chummer.

Its in there, you've just got to select it if you've got the new version.
Concepts are great, but implementation sucks. Why not improve it?

And make sure that the "Run Faster" book is enabled in the Options.

Speaking of new version, could anyone link to where to get the most recent?  My copy of Chummer 5 doesn't have anything past Run and Gun and the magic book in terms of additional material.  I would love to have one that included Run Faster.

Hey, I apologize if this has already been addressed but I updated to the newest version and my old character sheets won't open now. They're crashing the program.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Probably lifestyles, I didn't put much effort into backwards compatibility when I implemented the advanced lifestyles.

advanced lifestyles definitely crash the program. basic ones seems to work best.

Just a head's up in case you haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but the new PDF (Shadows in Focus: City by Shadow Butte) updates the NAN Sioux life module, and has some additional life modules and lifestyle options.

Generally speaking if a book doesn't personally interest me, I'll wait for someone else to compile the data and import it from there. Winners Don't Use Torrents, according to GOD.
