We have a small disagreement and I have been asked to post
a request for your opinions regarding the disadvantages
of Owl.

Grimoire I, Shadowrun 1st Edition:

"Disadvantages: +1 to *all* Target Numbers (even non-magical
ones!) when in direct sunlight; +1 to all magical Target Numbers,
whether or not in daylight."

I claim that they have the straight +1 modifiers to all
magic tests and an *additional* +1 modifier in Sunlight.

The other viewpoint is that the +1 modifier to magical target
numbers is only applicable when in sunlight.

Responses?

The owl is +1 to ALL TN's in Sunlight.

And if he is awake during the day he also gets an addition +1 penalty to
magic success test.

You were right

The Rules "Disadvantages: +1 to *all* Target Numbers (even non-magical
ones!) when in direct sunlight; +1 to all magical Target
Numbers, whether or not in daylight."

magic tests and an *additional* +1 modifier in Sunlight.

Myself
I believe that it is +1 to all TNs in direct sunlight, and an
additional +1 to magical TNs during daytime, whether or not
one is in sunlight.
