OK, creating an otaku NPC using both VR2.0 and the errata I found at
the Lair. I'm looking over them, and I'm confused on a few points...

First of all, I'm making a human otaku, and allocated my C-Priority
into Attributes. I noticed that all physical attributes went down by
one, and that all Mental attributes went up by one. Thus, I went down
for 2 in all Physical Attributes, and 6 in all Mental Attributes.
Then I read that if I sent all Physical Attributes down to 1, I got
two free Attribute points for Mental attributes only. So I jacked all
the Physical Attributes down to one, boosted Intelligence and
Willpower to 7, then spent the extra 2 points on Willpower and
Charisma. Now Ally (my otaku) had all Physical Attributes of 1, a 7
for Charisma and Intelligence, and a 8 for Willpower. Is this right?
If I made the otaku a dwarf, do racial modifiers still apply, even if
I take the base attributes down to one?

I have a feeling that if I gave Ally B-Priority in Attributes, she'd
be a very weak brainiac. 27 points - 3 for Physical Attributes, which
leaves about 24 for Mental Attributes, plus the two freebie
points...youch, human otaku don't even have to bother with B-Priority
in Attributes if the focus is just decking alone.

Do otaku still get the freebie points to allocate to their Channels?
I know I can't max them all out, but with 8 points to blow on
Channels, that frees up a lot of Skill Points for other things.
Channels can still be boosted with ordinary skill points, right?

What do otaku use for Hacking Pool? Do they even get a hacking pool?

How many complex forms can an otaku start off with, max?
