I just finished PR and overall I though it was a great book, but I
seemed to have found a few errors:

1. Jonty Geldenhuys gets a +6 reaction increase with a level 2 Wired
Reflexes. This should be +4

2. Some people have heavy weapons but not the gunnery skill. I'm not
talking about Dreyfuss here, but Kazuyuki Geva and Hoodlum Priest.

3. Akihito "Tuesday" Takemura has Wired 3 but only gets a +3/+4 on
reaction.

4. How does Madeleine Muller get a charisma of 10 with only cultured
pheromones? Should be 8 (+2); look at Didier Deschamps Descloux.

5. Sutherland should get a reaction of 12 in the Matrix (response
increase 3)

6. And last but not least Teachdaire should have a listed quickness
of 7 (10) [12] and his reaction should therefor also be modified.
Apart from that I don't see how his essence is only 0.03 looking at
the relative small number of implants he has (and its all delta-
grade!!). BTW this is a nasty bugger, why not give him a Barret
sniper rifle to make him even deadlier >-) ?

Hopes this is right (I didn't have all the books with me when I
checked it), and if there are more errors I would like to hear from
you guys (Lamptey the football star seems wrong to me somehow)

Greetings,

FASA has uploaded to America Online an errata for Prime Runners, what they
have noticed so far is that they left out some characters' skills.

Thanks, but I haven't got access to AOL :). This brings up another
thought: why doesn't someone at FASA post these thingies to the list?
I have been a member of the Mythus and Vampire lists and on these
lists someone from the Corporation was a list member and answered
questions (sometimes) and told us stuff. Now I know we shadowrunners
are a bit suspicious of Corps and their ilk, but wouldn't it be great
to commune sometimes with some dude at FASA, and get errata, new
rules, etc.?

And if they refuse, we could allways send some of our Edge-runners to
them, just to get the message through :-)

Or maybe put them on the acusd.edu site? After all, the main book errata is
already there.

Probably the same way my elf rigger/sam got a Charisma of 7(11): level 2
cultured tailored pheromones. Normal level 2 TailPher gives +2 Charisma,
culture it to double the bonus.

Probably because they say in the credits section of the new books that they
don't want list or server subscriptions.
