Page 169.
Adept abilities, Improved Physcial Attributes, I just think there needs to
be an example so that we know the difference between Racial Modified Limit
and Racial Max and how far an Adept can go (up to Racial max...or up to 2 x
Racial Modified Limit?)


Page 254
Searching the Matrix.
Third paragraph, second sentance says:

"The maximum number of searches that a decker can conduct at any one time
is equal to half the character's Intelligence, divided by 2, rounded up"

Now either:
A) They are saying it's actually a quater of your Intelligence...half
divided by 2.

or

B) They are trying to tell us that Half means Divided by 2...

or

C) It's a goof up and ", divided by 2," shouldn't be there.

I'm sure that it's suppose to be half of the Intelligence. I think that
the use of the commas tells us that half is equal to divided by 2...
I think most of us can figure out what Half means...
Or just say Intelligence divided by 2 rounded up...
It's just a wee bit misleading as is.

Maybe FASA assumed he had half our intelligence, divided by two,
to determine what they meant?

Now tell me, what was your problem?
