Hello!
The wiki entries (and subsequently help files) for all advantages should now have an 'availability key' at the top of each advantages section.
This key will tell you in shorthand:
- AP Cost
- Character Generation tier availability (B)asic, (S)tandard or (A)dvanced (or none)
- SPTrade availability (and in-game AP cost)
For reference, please see one of the following:
https://www.cybersphere.net/cs/Advantag ... lity%20Key
or
help advantage availability (in game)
If there's any errors please let me know, but outside of my own input errors, all of the information was actually pulled from the current state of the character generation code/settings and as such should be accurate.
While I was there, I also actually made the long asked for articles for Mutant Abilities, including their Mutation Point cost, relevant commands, and what each mutant weapon does, including whether they transmit poison/disease etc.
Please be aware, currently the Advantages page on the wiki will take a ridiculous amount of time (5s +) to load because of all of the extra work it has to do in the background with grabbing information from the backend, so if it takes a while please don't hammer refresh or anything.
I'll work on lowering the load time and breaking it up a bit more in the near future as it is already an unnecessarily massive page. There are already sub-pages by category/type, so you can find those and peruse them one by one as well. The main page actually loads in all of the sub-pages anyway.
I had recently also begun a fairly in-depth update to the help articles, it hasn't gotten very far yet, but if you're nosey you might be able to find the existing work, which will become available (likely in testing, hopefully soon) with the aim to provide a help command that will do a lookup for you of any item your character can see and find the 'real' help file for it.
Some examples of what it will do:
help <persons> <weapon> will return the 'Pistol' or 'Shotgun' or 'Knife' article, depending on what you're referring to.
help my <radio> will return the correct article (including commands) for if it was a scanner or a radio (or supported encryption)
help yellow debit will actually return the help file for 'Debit Card' instead of failing to find 'yellow debit'
Etc.

Thanks for updating the Mutant abilities especially. Clarifies a lot.
