ZeConster put him on Magic A, Attributes B, Human C, Skills D, Resources E with 7 Edge instead of 2. You'll want to check out his topic where he analyzed all the Sample Characters.

To offer some more details on my line of reasoning:
  • the only possible metatypes are Human (Attributes B), or Ork/Dwarf (Attributes D + 10 Karma on Charisma 1->2)
  • Low nuyen expenditure means Resources E
  • Skills is D or E, since no skill groups: Resources E means it's D
  • Magic is A because of 10 spells, or B with 15 Karma spent on spells and (1+2)x2 = 6 on Skills: 11 Karma spent on Qualities (9 if Elves are a common enough group for 5 instead of 3 Karma on Prejudiced) means Magic B isn't possible
  • As Ork/Dwarf aren't possible anymore, Attributes must be B
  • Inconsistency: Metatype must be C (Human (5)), meaning Edge should be 7, not 5
  • Solution: either assume Human with special Attribute points forgotten, or Ork (matches picture) with racial modifiers forgotten

Can a person have a BTL addiction when they don't have cyberware? The Gunslinger adept archetype on pg 123 does.

Yes. You can still use BTLs with trodes or nanopaste.

In real life Airburst = is the detonation of an explosive device in the air (opposed to a ground burst where you typically throw or launch a grenade that land on the ground and then detonate shortly after or on impact). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_burst

In SR5 airburst is not defined and might mean something else.

The airburst-link on p.431 state
"This grenade/rocket launcher smartgun accessory uses a “smart” rangefinder to air-burst the explosive projectile at a point deemed to be both a safe distance from the launcher and within the closest possible proximity to the target. An airburst link reduces the scatter distance for a launched grenade by two meters per net hit instead of by one meter per hit (Determine Scatter, p. 182) when you use the wireless link trigger.
  Wireless: An airburst link requires wireless functionality to function at all. Both the grenades and the launcher must have wireless mode turned on."


For someone that is familiar with what a real life airburst is (that the primary objective of airburst is the aerial detonation, that "airburst" = "detonation of an explosive in the air") the above will be read as: 

"This grenade/rocket launcher smartgun accessory uses a “smart” rangefinder to detonate explosive projectile in the air at a point deemed to be both a safe distance from the launcher and within the closest possible proximity to the target. An airburst link also reduces the scatter distance for a launched grenade by two meters per net hit instead of by one meter per hit (Determine Scatter, p. 182) when you use the wireless link trigger.
  Wireless: An airburst link requires wireless functionality to function at all. Both the grenades and the launcher must have wireless mode turned on."


For someone that is unfamiliar with what a real life airburst is or if the SR5 airburst-link is only used to reduce the scatter distance the above will be read as:

"This grenade/rocket launcher smartgun accessory uses a “smart” rangefinder to aid you when you use a wireless link trigger to detonate the explosive projectile within the closest possible proximity to the target. An airburst link reduces the scatter distance for a launched grenade by two meters per net hit instead of by one meter per hit (Determine Scatter, p. 182) when you use the wireless link trigger.
  Wireless: An airburst link requires wireless functionality to function at all. Both the grenades and the launcher must have wireless mode turned on."


Depending what the SR5 definition of airburst is the description errata for airburst-link should either clarify that the airburst-link will detonate the explosive projectile in the air OR that an airburst-link will only reduce scatter.

Yes. You can still use BTLs with trodes or nanopaste.
(plus a comlink with a sim module -possible also modded for hot-sim (or a cyberdeck)).

Before you errata this, you'd want to double-check they actually meant that. Aaron thinks they didn't though.

Taste booster headware (p.452 and table on p.453) does not have a max rating.

(It have similar function, essence cost, availability, and cost as Olfactory Booster which have rating (1-6)).

(copyed from the FAQ thread)
I can not seem to find the Nuyen cost for learning a new ritual only the 5 Karma cost.
How much Nuyen, if any, does learning a new ritual cost?

Homunculiseem to be the only critters with a speed listing of 15/30 rather than something based on agility. While this is awesomely fast, I am assuming it is an error.

Yes. You can still use BTLs with trodes or nanopaste.
Just Trodes in SR5 for now as nanopaste is gone from core.

Page 343 - Employer Table: Table Heading is wrong. It states "Location Type". Correct would be "Employer Type".
Page 381 - Professional Rating 0 Thug Table - Limits are missing.
Page 381 - Professional Rating 0 Lieutenant Table - Condition Monitor is missing.
Page 384 - Professional Rating 6 Lieutenant Table - First line should state "Initiative" not "G"
Page 434 - Grenade Table is already included in Page 435 => Redundant information
Page 460 - Table "Basic Bioware". Entry "Bone density..." - Cost: Is "Raxing x 5,000" should be: "Rating x 5,000"

The Actioneer Business Clothes are listed as Auctioneer Business Clothes in the Index. LOL

Pg. 429 In the Ranger Arms SM-5 it says "setting it up or breaking it down takes an Extended Firearms + Logic [Mental] (6, Complex Action) Test."
Firearms is not a skills. My best guess is that it should be Longarms instead of Firearms.

The index states that the Object Resistance Table is on page 296. It is actually on page 295.

I really hope that these things don't get messed with. Such nitpick things are not worth bothering with, and there are better things to spend time on.
