I think you're forgetting that essence loss is the higher of bioware or cyberware, plus half the lower. So with 1.45 Cyberware and .8 Bioware, the transhuman mystic loses 1.45+.8/2=1.85 essence, not 2.25.

One of the characters has a spell called "Laser", where can I find that spell?  I looked in SR4A and SM and didn't see it.

"Laser" is the default name of the single-target Elemental combat spell with the "Light" element; there's a table in Street Magic (but not a complete spell entry, which is why you didn't find it).

Noticed this thread from your sig thought I would check it out

 After looking through it these characters don't feel very 'iconic' to me.  Sure you it them all nice and squared away system-wise, but idk, 'feel' just isn't there for me.

Whee, there is FINALLY SR4 errata. Mostly commas, but Threading got changed to be a free action rather than a non-action so I updated the technomancer stuff.

Um speaking of technomancers... AS complex forms work just like programs... aren't they limited by system. So for the orc techno you have he couldn't run his complex forms at their maximum rating?

Nope, that's only for commlinks. System rating for technomancers is largely vestigial.

Complex Forms are specifically exempt from that limitation, which, as Umaro said, is why you can kind skimp on Logic.

If you meant “why are these things banned”, you want to ask that question of Bull (and is more appropriate to ask in the Shadow Run Missions General Discussion Forum.

If you meant “how did you know these things are banned, they are not mentioned in the SRM S4 FAQ?” then I will direct you here:

Weeeell crap.

Been playing a Pixie with Mob Mind for about 5 sessions now, and nobody in the group caught that.

Ah well, c'est la vie... and yeah, he's right. Way too easy-mode.

No technomancers are specifically exempt from the limit based on response, which means system isn't limited by response, however programs are still limited by system. At least RAW. Imo technomancers need all the love they can get. :P

Short version: CFs aren't programs, and so CFs don't have that limitation.

Evidence for this: CFs are explicitly listed as being capped by Resonance x2 (ever) and maximum purchase of Resonance. But System is also limited by Resonance, so neither of these limitations would make any sense at all if System also capped CFs.
