 +==== Making Nuyen ====
 +Cyberware and bioware are not cheap. The three primary methods to generate nuyen are (1) autoruns, (2) paydata, and (3) selling loot. Payout for all of these can be increased with negotiation.

 +Strength allows a character to carry more loot. Those using strength-based melee weapons will also want more strength to make it more difficult for enemies to resist attacks.

 +|adrenal pump II        |+4 str (temporary) |
 +Note: Quickness limits the number of individual items you can carry in your inventory, but you can work around this by putting things into containers.
 +
 +Alternatively, a drone with a mechanical arm can loot most things (but not cash or keys). Some drones have carrying capacity equivalent to 30 strength or more. They also aren't item count limited.

 ==== Combat Pool (cpool) ==== ==== Combat Pool (cpool) ====
 Cpool dice can be allocated to help you dodge ranged attacks, soak damage, and/or attack. Unlike canon SR3, cpool dice aren't depleted by actions in a combat turn, so you get all the dice, all the time (unless surprised). Base cpool is calculated from (quickness + intelligence + willpower)/2, rounded down. Cpool dice can be allocated to help you dodge ranged attacks, soak damage, and/or attack.

 ==== Vision ==== ==== Vision ====
 Light and weather conditions inflict TN penalties to many actions. Where combat is concerned, this includes shooting, melee clashes, and dodge. All vision from cyberware is always considered artificial and so is generally worse than either (1) natural thermographic vision, or (2) natural lowlight vision + flashlight + thermographic shades.  Light and weather conditions inflict TN penalties to many actions.

-Natural thermographic vision is better by 1 TN in heavy rain, whereas natural lowlight vision + flashlight + thermographic shades is better by 1 TN in partial light. While natural thermographic is currently only available through race or adept improved sense, natural low light vision can be implanted in the form of cat's eyes bioware.+Natural thermographic vision is better by 1 TN in heavy rain, whereas natural lowlight vision + flashlight + thermographic shades is better by 1 TN in partial light.
