Hello All! I am new to the Board, but not new to Shadowrun. And I wish that my first post was a contribution rather than a question but here it is.
I have not been able to find the answer to this question on the board about the Technomancer example character in the 5th edition Core Rulebook. I don't have an exact page number as I do not have the book nearby right now, but I hope that someone might have an answer.
Regarding the Technomancer sample character, NOT the sample archetype, during the character creation steps. In the section on the matrix and Technomancy, it states that the attributes of the mental persona (aka device rating, data processing, firewall, etc..) are directly tied to the Technomancers attributes and that is fairly straightforward. Example being that the mental Persona's Firewall attribute is a direct reflection of the Willpower attribute of the character, before any other modifiers. However, during the character creation steps, the final attributes of the Technomancer sample character has a set of Mental Persona attributes exactly 2 higher than his actual attributes in all the categories. Other than the natural Hardening for a +1 to Firewall, this discrepancy makes no sense, or I am just missing something really basic?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
