Thanks, didn't find it yesterday...

Does anyone still work on this?

If so, I found a bug.

When equipping and binding a qi-focus that grants extra ratings to a power (in my case: combat sense), chummer will reduce the rating of said power by 1 every time the character is loaded.

When I load, and immediately close the character, chummer even asks if I want to save the changes that have been made, indicating to me that it is 'AWARE' that it CHANGED the value...

To make sure, I went and opened a test character with a text editor, and the value was exactly what I expected. Changed it around a bit, and Chummer will ALWAYS display it as one lower than what it was saved as.

This is consistent in both 'creation' and 'career' mode

I took up development a few months ago, which you can find at https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/releases/latest. Qi foci are... not exactly implemented in the best possible way, so providing a bonus to existing powers doesn't really work.

Nice - though I am getting a null reference exception thrown when (it appears) it is trying to load the metatypes.

Yeah, I broke priorities a little bit when I was fixing metasapients. It will be fixed tonight. Sum to Ten will work properly though.

It seems all levels of priority runners can have a max of 25 pts in negative qualities. I thought that Street can only get 13, Standard 25, and Prime 35.

Nope, you just get more Karma to spend on skills and contacts and such.

Sorry, but sn0mm1s is absolutely right:

Is the CGL staff pay scale based on number of confusing sentences written? God, I am so tired of RAI... Okay, fine. Will be added in 5.172.

Nearly choked on my coffee trying not to laugh out loud at this one.

While that clearly isn't the intention, it does highlight the challenges of trying to codify inherently complex rule systems. Your efforts (and those of your predecessors) are greatly appreciated.

Suggestion: (this is how I'm effectively doing it right now anyway)

Have Qi-foci add adept powerpoints (0.25 per rating), and ask for a 'value input'.  Don't make chummer link them directly to any adept powers (this has never worked well, far as I can tell...)

[Chummer 5 is Alive]

The major issue there is that you're then back to calculating power point bonuses manually. I can fix it up to work properly, I just need to throw some time at it.

Where is any of this manual? Qi-Foci ALWAYS add 0.25 points per rating.  And since other sources can add power points to the total ('additional powerpoint' metamagic) this should be easy to implement.
