Still somewhat abuseable that way as well. My house rule (and
somebody else's on the list as well so it's got to be good B>]# ) is that
every increase in attributes after CharGen costs new attribute level
times the number of increase it is. Therefor the first increase is the
standard 1 times, the second is 2 times, the third is 3 times, etc. This
greatly discourages starting with lower stats and working your way up to
straight 6's. This was a problem in our games here until we added that
rule. Something like this would be great in SR3.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
