Grenade Launchers have a range of 100/500. These grenades must be specially made to be fired from a grenade launcher. They cost twice as much as a normal grenade of the same type. These grenades have the two setting as normal grenades but they can also be set with air-burst. Air-Burst allows the weapon to explode in the air where the operator can still see and ignore the indirect penalty if the attacker wishes (he still has to guess where the weapon is going to explode). This requires a '''DC12''' Intelligence (Mechanics) check to set property and uses 15ft of movement.</br>

=== CYBERNETICS ===
 
In Shadowrun, cybernetic implant enhancement is a reality and extremely common. In fact many civilians have internal comlinks and datajacks as a matter of course and for their work. A living creatures can only handle so much ‘ware within their bodies before it starts having an inverse effect on them. Each piece or level of ‘ware has a Strain level. Add all implants together to get one’s total Strain. Creatures can have a maximum amount of strain equal to the ''lower'' of their Constitution or Charisma score. For every 2 points of Strain over (round up) the creature suffers 1 level of ''persistent'' Exhaustions. They cannot recover from this exhaustion until ‘ware is removed or Constitution/Charisma increases.
 
 
[[File:SR.D5.Cyborg.jpg | 400px | left]]
 
The ''Awaken'' and certain citizens often reject cybernetic implants out of hand as it has a negative affect on the magical abilities. For those that lose limbs or suffer permenant injury clone-replacement' parts of their own DNA is prefered. A cloned replacement hand or foot or minor organ (a kidney) cost 2,500¥ and takes about a week to grow and surgically implant into the user. A replacement arm or leg or major organ (a lung or heart) is 6,000¥, takes about one month to grow and surgically reattach or implant to the user. These have no in game affects (Strain or otherwise) and these prices include surgery cost.
 
 
 
A simple cybernetic prosthetic replacement hand or foot or minor internal organ costs 750¥ and takes an hour surgical operation. A complex cybernetic prosthetic replacement for an arm or leg or replacing the bones of the skull or the skeletal frame of the chest costs 2,500¥ and four hour surgical operation. Basic cybernetic prosthetics count as 1 Strain add +2 to the characters maximum HP each, while complex replacements count as 2 Strain add +5 to the characters maximum HP each. These extra hit points can’t heal naturally however, instead requiring the use of a '''DC15''' Wisdom (Medicine) check with a Surgery kit. During a short rest this restores 1d6 + the medics Wisdom modifier back in these extra HP, or 2d6 + the medics’ Wisdom modifier back during a long rest. The Medics feat does not aid here. A Mechanics check with Repair kit can work in an emergency but only restores 1d4 + the users’ Intelligence modifier back during a short rest or 2d4 + the users’ Intelligence modifier during a long rest (and 10¥ worth of supplies).
 
 
 
All implants listed below require one hour of surgery per Strain to install and cause the subject three levels of Exhaustion. Most surgeons charge 500¥ per hour at a hospital grade location. A street doc might give you a break (10%-30% off) but they have a greater chance of not being able to do as much if something goes wrong.

== MAGIC OF THE SIXTH WORLD ==
In 2011, the Awakening transformed the world by making magic a reality. Some people in
 
the Sixth World have the rare gift to use the power of magic. They are the ''Awakened''.</br>
 
Magicians follow one of two traditions. A tradition is a set of beliefs and techniques for using
 
magic. It colors the magician’s outlook and affects how the magician learns and uses magic. The
 
choice of magical tradition is for life. Once you are on the path, there is no turning back.</br>
 
A follower of the ''shamanic'' tradition is a shaman. Shamans focus their magic through their
 
relationship with the world of nature and the power of emotion and inspiration. Magical knowledge
 
comes to them from a spirit-patron known as a totem.</br>
 
A follower of the ''hermetic'' tradition is a mage. Hermetic magic is intellectual. Mages see
 
the universe as a complex pattern of forces that can be controlled with the right formulae and
 
rituals. Magical knowledge comes from intense study and research.</br>
 
Adepts follow their own unique path, the ''somatic'' way. They are concerned with the perfection
 
of body and mind, focusing their magical power inward. Adepts learn their unique abilities
 
through introspection and an awareness of self.</br>

===SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING ===
In Astral Space your attributes change as you leave your meat-body behind, traveling only as a spirit. You can carry no gear with you into astral space except magical focus that are bound to you when you project your spirit into Astral Space. Your meat-boy is helpless and incapacitated and remains where you left it (unless someone moves it) when you are projecting. Your astral spirit has the '''''Invisibility''''' condition and is completely silent to anyone not in astral space or not astral perceiving at the time or who does not have truesight (like duel-natured creatures). You are completely incorporeal and cannot harm or interact in any physical way with anyone not in astral space who does not have one of these exceptions. Astral beings can only be affected by Mana spells and they have ''Resistance'' to any damage that they might suffer from such spells or advantage with any Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma saving throw imposed by a Mana spell. With an action and concentration you can make yourself visible as a semi-transparent shadow of yourself. In this form you can speak with those you wish but you are still completely incorporeal and ethereal.
+
===SUMMONING ELEMENTALS AND NATURAL SPIRITS===
  
While you are projecting into Astral Space your physical starts are irrelevant. You can still use Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma based skills and a few other such as Initiative and Stealth but they use your traditions attribute modifier instead of the normal defealt. You can try and harm other astral beings or projecting magic users but you cannot hurt those only perceiving into Astral Space or Duel Natured beings. You Armor Class in Astral Space against other astral beings is 12 + your Charisma modifier and you can deal damage to such beings only in melee combat. You deal 1d6 + your traditions attribute modifier with an unarmed melee attack. If you have a weapon focus talent you can use that damage instead if you weapon is actived. You can even attack spells that has been cast (as it appears in Astral Space). If it is an instant spell you must use a Reaction to intercept it or an Action against a sustained spell. The caster must make a Charisma save against your Saving Throw '''DC'''. Failure causes the spell to end without any further effects. If the caster saved it instead costs you 1d4 hit points per the spells Magnitude in level in damage.

===WRITING YOUR OWN PROGRAMS===
  
All non-magical Feats and most non-Adapt and non-Magic User Talents have no impact when astral projecting (and many have no effect when perceiving). For example you cannot use Martial Arts, Parry or Side Step in astral space. Also cybernetic system cannot affect or help beings in the astral space. For example you cybernetics don’t help you Hit Points total or boost your Dexterity in astral space, etc. If you are forced back into your body as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your base hit points. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your base hit points to 0, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
+
== VEHICLES AND DRONES HOUSERULES ==
 +
In the world of Shadowrun a great majority of vehicles and all drones are “self-operating”. Some very cheap and old models of some vehicles can’t but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule. In all cases then below – an operator is the vehicles controller. Someone ordering a drone to take an action is not the operator, the drone (or self-driving car) is. Crew includes the operator and all passengers within the vehicle. A gunner is a non-operator who is manning a vehicle weapon.
 +
===VEHICLE AND DRONE NOTES===
 +
====Special Vehicle and Drone Conditions====
  
Your spirit has an Astral Flying speed of 60ft a round but you also have a “Fast” speed that is equal to 600ft a round as a full round action. You can’t really get a lot of details flying this fast but it can get you places. In Astral Space you gain one additional Action each turn when projecting, but you only to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Hide, Ready or Recover from Reeling actions.
+
===VEHICLE AND DRONE ACTIONS===
  
All living beings (including the Earth itself) cast a ‘shadow’ into astral space that projecting spirits cannot past through. Nonliving matter does not impede a projecting spirits but still blocks line-of-sight. Many corps will block important areas with plants, etc. in the walls justto stop spirits.  
+
== ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONS HOUSERULES ==
 +
These are only the most common environmental situations a runner might encounter. Z-gravity, the vacuum of space, etc. are really unlikely but see other modern DnD5 for rules.
  
All Magic Users with the Astral Projection ability can spend time to raise '''Astral Wards'''. These work as barriers but only in Astral Space. With one hour of work and 100¥ of magical supplies (Warding Materials, see GEAR AND EQUIPMENT) a Magic User can create a barrier that is 40 feet long and 20 feet high that will last a number of weeks equal to their Magic User level. They can modify these dimensions to cover ceilings, go around corners, etc. They can also work with other Magic Users or spend more time and material to create larger barriers. These barriers count as Full Cover (100 HP) with a Hardness equal to the Magic Users defining attribute modifier. However they do have the normal resistance verses non-Heavy weapon damage. A Magic User automatically senses when a barrier it has created is destroyed. An attack can make a Charisma (Stealth) check vs. the Magic Users passive Perception when dealing damage to such a barrier with each attack, to attack it in secretly until destroyed.
+
COLD WEATHER
 +
Trudging through deep snow for hours on end, or facing biting, bitter winds, can dehydrate and fatigue a creature as quickly as blazing deserts. Every four hours spent in weather around freezing (32° F), a creature must make a DC15 Constitution saving throw. Failure means gaining one level of exhaustion. This can eventually kill the creature. For below 0° F this save is at disadvantage. These rolls assume the creature is wearing winter clothing or a wetsuit if underwater. If not increase to DC 20. Arctic survival suits ignore the basic condition and grant advantage on the save below 0° F down to -40° F then standard saves and finally at disadvantage on saves below -80° F. Below -100° F (extremely unlikely except in space) without a space suit or similar protection the creature fails this saving throw automatically which is applied every minute.
  
Spells, Spirits and most people cannot ‘hide’ their true nature in astral space and as such the astral being or perceiver gains the '''truesight''' sense while observing into the Astral Plane. This does not mean that beings can’t hide in astral space, they can as normal. It just they cannot hide behind spells of disguise or invisibility, without the Masking Initiative talent. An astral perceiver or projection makes an Intelligence (Investigator) or Wisdom (Perception) check to see beings that are trying to hide against a contested Charisma (Stealth).
+
EXCESSIVE HEAT
 +
Intense heat, typically that over 90° F degrees Fahrenheit, can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke, both of which are very dangerous. The actual danger is from dehydration, so well-supplied and conscientious creatures can greatly improve their chances in extreme heat simply by carrying a good amount of water and drinking frequently. When the temperature reaches 90° F degrees or more, the GM should pay attention to how much water creature is able to drink. If they are able to drink at least one gallon of water a day, they may be tired and sunburned, but are in no immediate danger. If that amount of water isn’t available, creature must make DC 15 Constitution check every four hours add +2 to the DC if the creature has half the water needed, add +5 to the DC if less than half. Add +1 to the DC for every 5 degrees above 90 the temperature is. However lower the DC by -2 if the creature is taking no physical action but walking and -5 if sitting and another -3 if sitting in a substantially shaded area. Failure means gaining one level of exhaustion. This exhaustion can kill the creature.
 +
Space, without a spacesuit protection, causes a level of exhaustion every minute automatically. Physical activity, water and shade have no impact.
  
When Astral Perceiving or Projecting the being has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to read the ‘mood’ of a target it can see. This also 'see' the being a basic level of Strain from implants that the subject has and if the subject is under any spell or enscrollment. Everything in the real world has a shadowy reflection that can be seen from Astral Space. A projecting spirits can see these inanimate objects and maybe recognize what it is, but cannot read a computer screen (only books and they must project themselves to being semi-transparent to do so. However they still can't turn a paper or pick a book up). They can see emotional imprints in works of art, etc. though and gain insight into the artists.
+
PRESSURE
 +
Pressure can come from being deep underwater or hard-g maneuvers in an atmosphere. High atmospheric pressure requires a DC10 Constitution saving throw every hour, 10 minutes if exerting oneself. Extreme pressure, such as from high-g maneuvers in flight or certain atmospheric conditions, increase this to DC15 each round. Failing either causes a level of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.
 +
Rising to fast from deep underwater can also cause problems. Taking ¾ the safe time is a DC15 Constitution save. Failure results in 1d6 pressure damage that also reduces the subject’s maximum hit point total by the same amount. Taking ½ the safe time is a DC20 or suffer 3d6 pressure damage (½ if you saved) that also reduces your maximum hit point total by the same amount and costs one level of exhaustion. Taking ¼ the safe time is a DC25 or suffer 5d6 damage pressure (½ if you saved) and reduce the subject’s maximum hit point total by the same amount and suffer two levels of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.
 +
You must spend HD to recover lost hit point maximum before you can recover lost hit point total (these are recovered separately). Recovering all lost exhaustion can only be done at one level per long rest with complete rest by the target (no actively heavier then walking).
  
Normally you cannot cast or maintain spells in Astral Space when projection. When Perceiving into Astral Space it is dangerous to cast spells; the caster suffering 1d4 hit points of magical damage (that ignores all resistance and hardness it might posses) per magnitude of spell cast. Concentrating on any spell impose Disadvantage to all saves to maintain while using Astral Perception.
+
POLLUTION AND TOXIC CONTAMINANTS
 +
In the Shadowrun timeline there are many contaminated zones where horrible industrial accidents happened created toxic zones and radioactive sites. Certain toxins and gaseous content of a hazardous zones do not support healthy life. Pollutions can include ingestion (drinking or eating contaminated animals or plants), inhaled or from skin contact. Creatures in a polluted environment must make a Constitution save or its hit point maximum are also reduced by the same amount equal to the damage taken. A creature without some kind of breathing apparatus must make a DC10-20 (depending on severity; GM’s call) Constitution save every round (or minute or hour or day or week depending on the level of pollution) or suffer 1d8 (or 1d6 or 1d4) points of toxic damage that reduces its hit point maximum by the same amount and one level of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.
 +
You must spend HD to recover lost hit point maximum before you can recover lost hit point total (these are recovered separately). Exhaustion levels lost due to pollution are not removed until you have restored you maximum hit points is returned to full.
  
===SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING ===
+
RADIATION
[[File:SR.D5.spell.jpg | 500px | right]]
+
There are various degrees of radiation that causes damage and reduces the creature’s maximum hit point total. Creatures in a radioactive environment must make a Constitution save or its hit point maximum are also reduced by the same amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction is not recovered after a Long Rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Spell are divided between Mana and Physical. Mana spells only affect living beings and spirits. They have no effect on non-living materials or devices. Physical spells can affect both living and nonliving items and equipment.

 +
* Don’t double their hit dices at 1st level and they must roll instead of starting with maximum.
 +
* Don’t gain Class Talents or Class Bonus Feats. However the GM may simply assign certain NPC talents when creating them. For example a Wiz-Bike Ganger might have the Spellcasting talent, etc.
 +
* Don’t start or gain Karma points. GM may assign a few points to a group of Minions.
 +
* Non-Heroic character ‘generally’ assign one use the following stat range – 12, 12, 12, 11, 10, 10. ‘Elite’ minion might instead have the following attribute spread – 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 10.
 +
* Non-Heroic character do not add their proficiency bonus to their Damage Threshold.
  
All other factors are as PHB spells (like Envokation, etc).

You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you (a place you have visited) or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees) up to 10 miles away. The sensor remains in place for the duration, and it can't be attacked or otherwise interacted with. When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space. As your action, you can switch between seeing and hearing. A creature that can see the sensor (such as a creature benefitting from see invisibility or truesight) sees a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.
 
* '''Both Senses''' (+2 Magnitude) can use both hearing and sight with your sensor.

'''Detect''': Mana (Divination); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 1; '''Range''': Self; '''Duration''': Concentration, 10 minutes. The basic version of this spell allows the casters to Detect Magic and magical auras out to a 30ft range of itself.

* '''Poison Sense''' (+1 Magnitude): for the duration, you can sense the presence and location of poisons, poisonous creatures, and diseases within 30 feet of you. You also identify the kind of poison, poisonous creature, or disease in each case.
 
* '''Trap Sense''' (+2 Magnitude): for the duration you sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, or a hidden laser guided machine gun pop-out port, claymore, etc. but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.
 
* '''Pathfinder''' (+4 Magnitude): Change duration to “Concentration, 8 hours”. This upgrade allows you to find the shortest, most direct physical route to a specific fixed location that you are familiar with on the same plane of existence. If you name a destination in astral space, a destination that moves or a destination that isn't specific (such as corporate such-and-such’s main base), the spell fails. Once cast the caster knows where he is going and can find it without fail. If he wishes to go somewhere else the spell fails and he must re-cast it to again find his way.

This spell provides the caster a glimpse of the past or near future of one subject that the caster can see throughout the ritual to cast the spell or the caster themselves. The subject must have an Intelligence of 3 or higher and requires a Charisma save. If the target is voluntary or the caster, it can take disadvantage on this save. On a successful save, the target isn't affected. Failure grants the caster a basic knowledge of highlights of what the subject has been doing for the last year, or can gain a glimpse of up to want the future of the target might experience in the next 24 hours. For a willing target with a failed save on future events, the caster grants insight and bonuses at certain junctions, depending on the GM, but generally the subject should gain an advantage on any one future attack check, saving throw, skill or ability check, equal to the caster’s Magic User level. These must be used by the subject within the next 24 hours or they are lost. For non-willing subject the GM might grant them various knowledge of the subject’s activity. You can't use this spell against the same target again until after it takes a long rest.

'''Mind Probe''': Mana (Divination); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 3; '''Range''': Self; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 minute. For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn't speak any language, the creature is unaffected. You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature - what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature's thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature's mind. If you probe deeper, the target makes an Intelligence save. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). The target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature's thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence save. If it makes it the spell ends. Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation. You can also use this spell and an action to detect the presence of one thinking creature you can't see. This targets lose the invisibility condition for the duration.
 
* '''Alter Memories''' (+3 Magnitude): you can alter the memories of the subject into believing it was doing something else while you used Mind Probe on it. It gains an Intelligence save. Failure and you can affects its short term memories with your own version of what just happened.
 
* '''Search Hidden Minds''' (+2 Magnitude): you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any plastic or metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can't detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn't speak any language. Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can't see it, but it must still be within 30ft range.
 
 
 
'''Search''': Physical (Divination); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 2; '''Range''': Self; '''Duration''': Concentration, 10 minute. Describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object's location, as long as that object is within 1,000 feet of you. If the object is in motion, you know the direction and speed of its movement and so long as it does not move out of range can follow it. The spell can locate a specific object known to you, as long as you have seen it up close - within 30 feet - at least once. Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a tool kit, apparel or weapon. This spell can't locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and it or if running water at least 10 feet wide blocks a direct path between you and the creature.
 
* '''Scry''' (+4 Magnitude): You can see and hear a particular creature you choose that is not in astral space (projecting or otherwise). The target must make an Intelligence save, which is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If a target knows you're casting this spell, it can fail the save voluntarily if it wants to be observed. You level of knowledge is know them: Secondhand (you have heard of them; +5 save), Firsthand (base save), Familiar (you know the target well; -5 save). Other modifiers: Likeness or picture (-2 save), possession or garment (-4 save), a body part, blood, lock of hair, bit of nail, etc. (-10 save). On a successful save, the target isn't affected, and you can't use this spell against it again for 24 hours. On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, staying within 10 feet of it for the duration. A creature that can see invisible objects (or dual-natured) sees the sensor as a luminous orb the size of your fist. Instead of targeting a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before as the target of the spell. The sensor then appears at that location and doesn't move.
 
* '''Seek Individual''' (+2 Magnitude): Instead, describe or name a creature that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the creature's location, as long as that creature is within 1,000 feet of you. If the creature is moving, you know the direction of its movement and can track it. The spell can locate a specific creature known to you, or the nearest creature of a specific kind (such as a human or a unicorn), so long as you have seen such a creature up close - within 30 feet - at least once. If the creature you described or named is in a different form, such as being under the effects of a Shape Shift spell, this spell doesn't locate the creature.
 
* '''Greater Range''' (+2 Magnitude): The range of any of the effects of this spell increase to 10 miles.

Note that if this spell or Healing Word is cast on a target twice or more before a long rest, there is a cumulative -3 to the final amount of hit points that the target is healed (i.e. a target who has received 3 Healing Touches and she has not yet taken a long rest, on the 4th time the spell is cast on her she is healed 9 less hit points from the roll.

You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as Attack that creature, Run over there, or Fetch that object. If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability. You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well. Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom save against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
 
* '''Suggestion''' (+1 Magnitude): Change the duration to “Concentration, 8 hours”. You suggest a course of activity and magically influence a creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act ends the spell. The target must make an Intelligence save. On a failed save, it purses the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a guard give her passkey to the first homeless person she meets. If the condition isn't met before the spell expires, the activity isn't preformed. If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.
 
* '''Mass Charm''' (+1 Magnitude per extra creature): For each level of Magnitude you put into the spell you can target one additional creature. Creatures must be within the 30ft range though.
 
 
 
'''Fear''': Mana (Illusion); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 2; '''Range''': Self; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 minute. You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Charisma save. All that fail drop whatever they are holding and become '''''Frightened''''' of you. While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature makes a new Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

'''Illusion''': Mana (Illusion); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 1; '''Range''': 90ft; '''Duration''': Concentration, 10 minutes. You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object - such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest - it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against you saving DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. Duel-Natured creatures and those whom can see through illusions (such as truesight) are immune to this spell.
 
* '''Greater Illusion''' (+2 Magnitude): You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can't create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature. As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check vs. you spell save save. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.
 
* '''Phantasmal Killer''' (+5 Magnitude): Change duration to “Concentration, 1 minute”. You tap into the nightmares of one creature you can see within range and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature. The target must make a Charisma save. On a failed save, the target becomes '''''Frightened''''' with all visible targets it can see (friend or foe) for the duration. At the end of each of the target's turns before the spell ends, the target must succeed on a Charisma save. Failure results in 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.
 
* '''Vid-Reality''' (+2 Magnitude): the images now appear on vidcams, etc. Change type to Physical.
 
 
 
'''Invisibility''': Mana (Illusion); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 2; '''Range''': Touch; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 hour. A creature you touch becomes '''''Invisible''''' for duration. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person. The spell ends for a target if it takes an Attacks action or casts a spell. The spell does not affect machines (vidcams). Duel-Natured creatures and those whom can see through illusions (such as truesight) are also immune. If the subject of the spell has Strain, the caster must spend an additional Magic Point equal to ½ the level of Stain.
 
* '''More targets''' (+1 Magnitude per additional target): can now affect additional targets. If multiple targets have Strain the caster must spend the extra points equal to ½ the highest level.
 
* '''Physical Invisibility''' (+2 Magnitude): changes the type to Physical and now will fool machines.
 
* '''Greater Invisibility''' (+3 Magnitude): Change to duration of greater to “Concentration, 1 minute”. For the duration, the spell does not end if the creature takes an Attack action or casts a spell.
 
 
 
'''Mask''': Mana (Illusion); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 1; '''Range''': Touch; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 hour. A touched target, including its clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on its person, look different for the duration. The target can seem a foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change its body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection nor do they fool machines (vidcams, etc.). Duel-Natured creatures and those whom can see through illusions (such as truesight) are also immune. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to the outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel the target’s head and hair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your save. If the subject of the spell has any Strain the caster must spend extra Magic Point equal to ½ the Strain level.
 
* '''More targets''' (+1 Magnitude per additional target): each additional magnitude will now affect one additional target with the basic mask. If any of the targets have Strain then the caster suffers ½ the highest Strain level in extra Magic Points.
 
* '''Physical Mask''' (+2 Magnitude): changes the type to Physical and now will fool machines. Others now ‘feel’ any physical changes that you made to the target (in the example above, they feel the hat or the extra fat added to a target). This imposses Disadvantage on the investiation check to see through your illusion.
 
 
 
'''Paralyze Foe''': Mana (Enchantment); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 2; '''Range''': 60ft; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 minute. Choose a humanoid that you can see within range. The target must succeed on an Intelligence save. Failure results in it being '''''Paralyzed'''''. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a new Intelligence save. On a success, the spell ends on the target.
 
* '''Mass Paralyze''' (+1 Magnitude per additional target): each additional magnitude will now affect one additional target. All targets must be within 30ft of each other when you target them.
 
 
 
 
 
MANIPULATION SPELLS</br>
 
Many Manipulations spells have a Range of Self. This can be changed to Touch, allowing the caster to share the effects of these spell with one adjacent person at an increase spell point cost of +1 magnitude for each additional target. If any of the targets of such a spell has Strain due to cybernetics then the caster suffers ½ the highest Strain level in extra Magic Points.</br>
 
 
 
'''Armor''': Mana (Abjuration); '''Casting Time''': 1 action; '''Magnitude''': 1; '''Range''': Self; '''Duration''': Concentration, 1 hour. You produce a magical protective force that surrounds you until the spell ends. Your base AC becomes 14 + your Dexterity modifier and its grants 2 points of magical Hardness. This hardness works against magical weapons and spells and normal weapon attacks. If you are wearing armor use the better of the two AC and/or Hardness, the effects do not stack.
 
* '''Shield''' (+1 Magnitude): With your reaction, you can add your Proficiency bonus to your AC. This happens just before the attack, potentially causing it to miss. The AC bonus then last until the start of your next turn.
 
* '''Stoneskin''' (+4 Magnitude): Your skin takes on a stony feel and look. For the duration you gain Resistance to ballistic, bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. Has no effect on magical spells (but stops other forms of magical damage such as from weapons, paracrritters unless they cast a damaging spell, etc).

An adjacent creature must succeed on an Intelligence save or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, choose one curse...
 
:: o Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.
 
:: o While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
 
:: o While cursed, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing.
 
:: o While the target is cursed, your attacks deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.
 
* '''Duration''' (+1 Magnitude): For one additional Magnitude the duration of the spell changes to “Concentration, 10 minutes”.

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast, though the target retains its 'mind' and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You assumes the hit dice and hit points of its new form, and when you revert to your normal form, you returns to the number of hit point it had before it transformed. If you reverted as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal forms’ to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.

===SUMMONING ELEMENTALS AND NATURAL SPIRITS===
 
It takes a full round action (no Move speed, no Bonus or Reaction actions) to summon a spirit. The spirit will perform tasks for the magic-user for up to one hour, when it disappears automatically back into astral space where it originated. Magic=users cannot have more than one spirits summoned at a time. If the summoner summons a new one the one present spirit automatically disappears back into astral space. When a spirit falls to 0 hit points, 0 magic points or it is incapacitated in some way it automatically disappears back to astral space also. If the summoner is knocked to 0 hit points or incapacitated the spirit makes a Charisma save. Success means it returns back to astral space, failure it remains for 2d6 rounds, either awaiting new orders on standby or carrying out the last orders the magic user gave it. If the magic user is not returned to consciousness by then the spirit leaves, returning to astral space.
 
 
 
The '''DC''' to summon a spirit is DC 10 + its' Magnitude x2 with a Conjuring check. If a magic-user rolls a natural 1 on this check the spirit is summoned but it is angry and wild, likely attacking the summoner.
 
 
 
Type of '''Spirits''' that a '''Hermetic Mages''' can summon: choice two of Spirits (called Elementals by mages) of Air, Earth, Fire, Guardian, Guidance, Man, Task or Water.
 
 
 
Types of '''Spirits''' that a '''Shaman''' can summon: choice two of Spirits of Air, Beast, Earth, Guardian, Guidance, Man, Plant or Water.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Spirit Tasks''': the following tasks can be performed by a spirit at the request of its’ summoner…
 
* '''Aid''' in casting of a spell. This requires an action on the part of the summoner on the prior round. On the following round the spirit can Aid Another if it also knows the spell in question. This can either grant advantage with a Magical attack roll or impose disadvantage on any required saving throw or skill check. Alternatively the spirit pays the Magic Point cost (spirits will never cast a spell over their magnitude) to when the magic user casts a spell.
 
* '''Sustain a Spell''' requires an action on the part of the summoner. The spirit will sustain any one spell (even one it does not know) cast by the caster from that point on. It will maintain this spell for 5 + its magnitude rating in rounds. It will drop the spell at the end of this duration unless the summoner uses another action to order it to continue to maintain it.
 
* '''Attack''' requires an action to direct the spirit towards a foe or group of foes. It will fight, without requiring additional guidance until the foes have been taken out or they flee. If new foes arrive the magic-user needs to use an additional action to direct the spirit towards them but a spirit will defend itself if attacked while it is attacking other foes.
 
* '''Search''' is where the spirit can search and area for a specific individual or item that is familiar to the magic use that summoned it. This works basically like the Search spell within a range of 1,000 feet times the spirits magnitude rating. The spirit can use the great range modifier (10 miles) but this must be the only service the spirit has or will perform and when it is finished it returns to its home plane.
 
* '''Guard''' is where the spirit can act as a watchdog within a certain area. It has Advantage on its Perception checks while it does so. A spirit can ‘guard’ an area equal to 100ft times its spirit magnitude rating. The summoner must also include orders on what the spirit will do if unknown creatures enter the area it is guarding. It can attack them, inform the summoner or make a great commotion (noise) in the area. If assigned as the spirit’s only task it will remain until sunup or sundown, whichever comes first and then return to its home plane.
 
 
 
'''Building a Spirits''': Spirits and elementals all have the following stats...
 
* All spirits have a basic attributes of 10 for all stats, unless modified by type (air spirits are fast but weak, earth strong but slow, etc.) at Magnitude 1. Each additional magnitude adds +2 to all of the creatures attributes. So a magnitude five Spirit of Fire would has an 18 in all of its attributes.  These stats are the same in astral form and when they manifest.
 
 Spirits have 10 Hit Points +5 HP per magnitude over 1, plus its Constitution modifier each magnitude.
 
* Spirits have 5 Magic points +5 per level of Magnitude over 1. They cannot summon other spirits and can only use these points to share with a magic user or to cast spells while manifesting.
 
* Spirits have an Armor Class of 12 + their Dexterity modifier and have a Hardness rating equal to their Magnitude.
 
* Spirits are Resistant to all damage in Astral Space. When manifesting they have Resistance to all magical spell attack damage and weapon ranged attack damage. No weapon Heavy weapon property or magical affect can remove this (but see Spirit Foe feat).
 
* Spirits are immune to all mind-effect spells, the charmed and frightened condition imposed by mind-altering fear. They do not breathe, are immune to disease and poison, and ignore all light based obscure condition (see Duel-Natured).
 
* In Astral Space spirits have an extra action (as projecting magic users) and can only attack in melee. This attack deals 1d8 plus +1 per every level of magnitude. All types have a Fly speed of 60ft and a Fast Fly speed of 600ft a round in Astral Space.
 
* Spirits are Duel-Nature beings and when manifesting on the material realm they always Astral Perceiving at the same time. This is not distracting to them as with casters (no disadvantage).
 
* Spirits prefer to be summoned in its ‘Domain’ (see Spirit Types) but can be summoned almost anywhere. When summoning a spirit in an area that the GM should increase the DC to summon the spirit in a non-Domain area by +2 or if totally opposite (a fire elemental on a lake of water) by  +5.
 
* All Spirits have skill proficiency with the following – Arcana, Intimidate, Investigation, Perception and Stealth. They are automatically proficiency with their own natural attacks.
 
* For spells, Spirits have a safe Magnitude rating equal to their own rating. They will refuse to cast spells of a high magnitude in any situation. Spirits automatically have a Magical attack bonus of 3 + their Intelligence modifier (if elementals summoned by a hermetic mage) or Wisdom modifier (if a natural spirit summoned by a shaman). Any saving throws are always 11+ this same attribute.
 
* Each type of spirit has some natural abilities that all of the same spirit types share. These abilities can be used at will by the spirit and cost them no magic points, etc.
 
* Spirits have one spell automatically when summoned and the mage-user can pick one additional known spell from the list of each type per Magnitude level of the spirit over 1. Spirits spend their own magic points to cast these spells.

WATCHER SPIRITS
 
Watcher spirits are minor conjurations that any Magic user with the Summoning core talent can summon. It takes an action and 1 Magic Point with a DC 10 Conjuration check to summon a Watch. This minor spirit does not count as a summoned spirits so you can still maintain or conjure a regular spirit. This spirit remains for 1 hour or until you dismiss it or you summon another Watcher Spirit. They can perform the following services – (a) Watch an area up to 100 feet area. If the Watcher Spirits detects a creature entering the area it will immediately move to inform the summoner; (b) Act as an attack dog, attacking one creature that the summoner directs it too; (c) Carry a short message (three or four sentences) to one creature that the summoner knows. This will take 1d6 minutes x the number of miles away it is up to 5 miles away. It can bring back a return message if they summoner had directed it to do so and (d) Search for one creature that the summoner knows. If the summoner only knows the target the Watcher requires a DC20 Investigation check (and 6d10 minutes of time), if the summoner has a physical picture (no vids) or personal items of the target the DC drops to 15 (and 4d10 minutes of time), if the summoner has hair follicle, tissue and/or blood samples of the target the DC drops to 10 (2d10 minutes of time).

== THE MATRIX ==
 
The wireless Matrix is made up of thousands of individual ‘nodes’ (think something like modern day cellphone towers) each with its’ own signal strength that creates an overlapping systems without breaks in every modern Metroplex. Corporations also support their own nodes along with the public infrastructure. Almost every device at this time is wireless and can and will broadcast its information out to the world for all to see and use. This includes your home or apartment appliances, window shades, maglocks, comlinks, cyberware, vehicles, drones, etc. Basically anything electronic has a wireless connection so that it can be view and talk to other wireless devices. This way if you are running low on Soy Milk, your refrigerator can tell you about it and your Harley will let you know when you need to change the oil again. Your cybernetics and comlink receive automatic system updates from the corporate you purchased it from for software patches and upgrades, etc.
 
 
 
In a shadowrunners’ world, this is not always good thing. You don’t want just anyone to be able to view your data or hack into your personal information or be able to track where you are at any given time. For this reason, most devices can also run in a ‘hidden mode’ where it is not broadcasting its basic information to just anyone, you have to know the right codes in order to not just see them but to interact with them. Cybernetics can also have their wireless access modes turned off but this can hurt them in the long run as they will have no way of updating any software patches and makes periodic maintenance more difficult. Corporations also like to isolate highly sensitive data services. This usually involves a dedicated system without wireless access or a system contained within a faraday cage. A decker has to be physically present to access these areas.
 
 
 
'''COMLINKS'''</br>
 
A comlink is basically an advanced personal computer, PDA and cellphone. When in active mode, anyone can see your basic display information in AR as is ‘projected’ out into the wireless world. The basic features of a comlink include the Broadcasting within the basic signal strength of the device. The greater the signal strength the farther away the user can be and still maintain a secure link. The Firewall is the protecting ranting the device has against other’s hostile actions. The Intelligence and Wisdom of the device are its basic speed and skill ‘processing power’. A higher Intelligence or Wisdom score allows the device to operate at higher skill levels and speed.
 
 
 
Comlinks can operate on ‘hidden mode’ where they only talk to certain other comlinks and do not appear on others AR overlay, but this is restricted and even illegal in certain security areas. For example, police and security personal do not allow anyone to operate their comlink in a hidden mode in most of the downtown core areas of Seattle Metroplex. Most shopping centers and corporate locations also require everyone visiting to have their public information displayed for all to see at all times. This has the added “bonus” of restricting most homeless people and other ‘undesirables’ from these regions. Fake ID can overcome this security… if good enough.
 
 
 
A users with comlink and the Scan program can make a DC10 Intelligence (Computer Use) check to detect other comlinks within its broadcast area of affect. In hidden mode other users are at DC15 to detecting within the Broadcast signal. Firewall penalties don’t apply here. This simply allows a user to track and determine where active comlink signals are. When off comlinks cannot be detected.
 
 
 
'''Broadcast and Firewall'''</br>
 
The Broadcast rating of a comlink is listed in the Gear section. This is the range that one can have a secure connection to a wireless system node or device such as another comlink or a drone. Beyond this range other systems have an advantage on any computer tests or attacks against your device.
 
 
 
The Firewall rating applies when you or others are trying to access or attack a systems from outside of the Matrix. If an enemy wanted to shut down your Smartgun link cybernetics, if it had the correct program (in this case Crash) as an Action they must make a DC15 Intelligence (Computer Use) skill test. The Firewall rating would then act as a penalty to the attackers check and then as a bonus to the systems saving throw against the Program being used. The Firewall rating times two is the bonus or penalty the device or system gains.
 
 
 
Your Persona within the Matrix gains your comlink’s Firewall rating as a bonus to Matrix saving throws and to the '''DC''' for your various Matrix program saving throw levels and to your Matrix AC. Nodes and Secure areas also have a Firewall rating. These ratings apply as penalties against your Persona’s Attacks or as Saving Throws bonuses against your Programs that require them. Ultra-secure areas might have high Firewalls but without bleeding edge tech this has an adverse effect on the only systems programs and IC systems. The reason that not all areas have high Firewall ratings is that the higher the rating the more processing power it eats up and it is extremely expensive be running all the time. This also means that a system that detects a hostile or non-user within an area they are not supposed to be in, the Firewall may increase to higher ratings for at least a short time.
 
 
 
The decker while projecting his or her conscious into the Matrix also gains the Firewall rating as a saving throw with Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma against any program or IC that triggers them.
 
 
 
Most equipment that a character is carrying all are slaved to your comlink’s broadcast and firewall. As noted above many places require you to have your personal information on display and projecting at all time. This allows advertisers to send you tailored ads that match your buying trends (or at least your Fake ID’s) but also allows Security to monitor you and if needed hack your system to cause a weapon or piece of cybernetics to stop functioning. See Hacking a System below.
 
 
 
'''MATRIX 101'''</br>
 
There are two basic ways to access the Matrix; through AR (Augmented Reality) where various Matrix related data and information is overlaid your normal vision via AR Glasses or cyber-eyes, etc. The second is called ‘Emersion’ where one “projects” their consciousness into the Matrix or a vehicle or drone or security system.
 
 
 
Anyone can experience what they refer to as 'cold emersion' via a comlink with the Emersion upgrade, while hot emersion requires a Datajack. While using either level of Emersion your 'meat-body' is helpless and oblivious to the world around it. All of your ‘reality’ (sight, touch, feel, smells etc.) are filtered through the Matrix or drone or vehicle or security systems perceptive. While using hot-Emersion you have advantage on your Initiative checks and gain an extra action each round. This extra action can only be used for Matrix actions. See below. However being in 'hot' emersion can be dangerous as a decker can die from lethal bio-feedback caused by IC system.
 
 
 
Magical spells and affects have no impact or grant no aid in the Matrix, nor do any non-Decker Talents. Most Feats also don’t help you in the Matrix unless it’s related to Programs or affect Mental Skills – Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma (and Charisma skills are rarely of us). Most physical cybernetics also has no effect in the Matrix like Wired Reflexes or Cybernetic Eye replacements. A Vehicle Control Rig and a Cerebral Boost are the two exceptions.
 
 
 
In the world of 2050+ most everyone interacts with the Matrix via either AR or Emersion. You can still type on an old style computer terminal but these are slow and almost no one uses them anymore. As one maneuvers through the Matrix one encounters massive amounts of data but much of it is hidden behind firewalls.
 
 
 
Within the Matrix there are different levels of security and reality. Public sites include advertisements that flash over one’s comlink almost constantly. Most people know how to filter out what they do and don’t want to see. There are also public information sites and forums (like ancient pre-Matrix websites like Wikipedia or the Library of Congress online information sites) when characters can gain basic public information etc.
 
 
 
Past the public sites are private systems. These range from personal Matrix data sites to Megacorp private Nods. These sites require either passcodes and/or permission to access or a decker to hack into and bypass the security protocols. See Hacking a System below.
 
The Matrix itself tends to looks like an infinite electronic field with various Nods and Hosts Icons appearing as their makers have defined (and spent nuyen on creating). For example Aztechnology public host site appears to be a huge Azteca Step-Pyramid with a stylized animal heads ‘carved’ into the surface of each side while the Seattle Metroplex Governor’s site is the Space Needle.
 
 
 
Within various Matrix Host Area they take on varying different looks and feels depending on the locations Matrix Sculpting (what it’s programmed wanted to look and feel like). Again within the public area of Aztechnology Host Area appears to within a Azteca royal court with primitive looking ‘warriors’ (IC) wearing animal skins and carrying obsidian blade swords. Within the Seattle Metroplex Governor’s site looks like a block-standard Wageslave Office waiting area.
 
===MATRIX PERSONA===
 
'''Basic Persona''': Anyone with AR or Emersion ability can use a Persona which acts as their Icon within the Matrix. This Persona exists only in electronic form and is stored on the comlink with a Constant Duration. Personas can look like almost anything you can imagine.
 
 
 
[[File:SR.D5.Persona.jpg | 300px | left]]Dexterity is meaningless in the Matrix and your physical body has no effect on your electronic construct. Your Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma don’t change and use those stats for any skill or ability check or saves you might make (but Charisma skill are rarely if ever used in the Matrix).
 
 
 
If you have access to the emersion ability you can project yourself into the Matrix ‘naked’ but there are a lot of disadvantage to this. First you Matrix stats low – your Matrix Strength is ½ your Intelligence score (round down) and your Matrix Constitution is ½ your Wisdom score (round down). Your Matrix Hit Points are equal to the total of your Matrix Strength and Constitution. Your Matrix Armor Class is 10 + your Intelligence modifier. You deal 1d4 plus your Matrix Strength modifier damage in the Matrix and you cannot add extra Programs while projecting in this way. Also you suffer 1 hit points of damage that ignores all resistance and hardness every minute your mind is exposed to the unfiltered Matrix biofeedback.
 
 
 
A Persona Icon in the Matrix grants you both Matrix Strength and Constitution along with Matrix AC and HP that work only in the Matrix. If you are ever incapacitated or knocked to 0 Matrix HP you are forced out of the Matrix violently (see Dumpshock). A Persona can also have a Hardness that only helps verse Matrix attacks and damage. As range is irrelevant in the Matrix all attacks are considered ‘melee’.
 
 
 
A Stock Persona costs 500¥ (Restricted) has a Matrix Strength and Constitution of 12 and basic Matrix attack deal 1d6 plus their Matrix Strength modifier in damage. Base Matrix AC is 12+ Intelligence modifier + Firewall rating. Matrix Hit Points are equal to its Matrix Constitution Modifier + 8 + your character Level. There are two basic skills in the Matrix that all Personas (and an optional comlink upgrade) have access to – Scan which is sort of an electronic Perception and Search which is your basic electronic Investigation. A Stock Persona’s Scan and Search are equal to the Decker’s proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier. Finally all gain the comlink’s Firewall rating bonus towards Matrix Strength and Constitution saves. The Decker uses her own saves for Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma but also gain their comlink’s Firewall bonus to them also.
 
 
 
'''System Upgrades''' – these boost the basic/Stock Matrix stats and ratings.

===PROGRAMS===
 
'''Programs''' – With a Persona a decker can run programs off of her comlink. Activating a Program is an Action by the user. They are maintained by the comlink without requiring concentration (but can be crashed or attacked, see below). You can maintain a number of programs running at one time equal to your comlink’s Intelligence modifier +1.
 
 
 
All Programs have at least Redistricted availability.
 
 
 
The base '''DC''' for any target’s save verses a Program is 8 + the program’s level + the user’s Intelligence bonus + Firewall rating.
 
 
 
* '''Adaptive''' (Rating 1; Constant) – this program grants Resistance vs. Matrix damage including damage that might be inflicted onto a decker from black ice, etc. Cost 20,000¥. (Illegal)
 
* '''Agents''' (max Rating 10; Constant) – your decker has semi-autonomous programs that can perform semi-indepent tasks for her. It takes an Action to order an Agent to perform a task (or if they are all performing the same task). Basic Agent stats are Proficiency bonus +2, Strength 12, Constitution 12, Intelligence 14, Wisdom 12, Charisma 10, HP 15, Attack +4 to hit, Matrix Damage 1d6+2, AC 14 (with Int modifier), Matrix Hardness 3, Scan +4, Search +4. Agents are immune to all mind-effect abilities and gain proficiency with Strength and Intelligence save. Cost 2,500¥ +1,000¥ x Rating. Your rating is the number of Agents you can have on hand at one time. They all appear when activated.
 
:[[File:SR.D5.Programs.jpg | right]]''Upgrades'' – Boost Strength, Constitution or Charisma by +2 for +400¥ each, or Boost Intelligence or Wisdom by +2 for +800¥ each.

For increasing Matrix Attack, AC, Hardness and skills Search and Scan as base program and upgrades but must be purchased separately for Agents (all the Agents gain whichever upgrades you purchase as a group).
 
* '''Black Hammer''' (Rating 1; Duration 5 rounds) – similar to Black ICE used by IC programs, this highly illegal program deals all Matrix hit point damage to the Persona and her deck but also deals ½ its damage to the meat-body of the decker using emersion! Cost 15,000¥ (Illegal).
 
* '''Confusion''' (max Rating 8; Instant) – this program can send other matrix persona and systems into a logic loop that ‘freezes’ them up. It is resisted by a Matrix Constitution save or gain the '''''Paralyzed''''' condition. At the end of its round the target gains a new save. Success ends the condition. Cost 500¥ +750¥ x Rating up to 4; 1,000¥ +2,000¥ x Rating for 5-8 (Illegal)
 
 Corruption (max Rating 8; Instant) – this program can destroy data files that are resisted with a Matrix Constitution save or by a comlink’s Wisdom save. Failure means that a section of data-files information was destroyed that round. Data-files can continue multiple levels or parts that must be destroyed separately depending on the size of the host, etc. Cost 500¥ +500¥ x Rating (Illegal).
 
 Crash (max Rating 8; Instant) – this program can crash any one other program being run by icon, system or persona. It can also be used to crash a physical piece of cybernetics or electronic device. Resisted by a Matrix Constitution save or the user’s Intelligence save. Failure allows the attacker to cause one of the target’s programs to function at ½ its rating (round down). A second attack with a second failed save causes the program to stop functioning. The target cannot use that program until fixed. See Repairing programs. If attacking a piece of electronics (the broadcast on a comlink) or a drone system (like one specific weapon) or one specific cybernetic system a failed save results in the system to stop function for a number of rounds equal to the Crash
 
program rating. At the end of each of the user’s turns it gains a new save. Success restores the system. Cost 1,500¥ +500¥ x Rating up to 4; 2,500¥ +2,000¥ x Rating for 5-8
 
 Exploit (max Rating 8; Instant) – this program allows one to gain access and control of another system. This is resisted with an Intelligence save. Failure and the target gains the charmed condition and is considered friendly (see Compute Use skill) towards the user. The system gains a new Intelligence save at the end of each of its rounds. Success and the charmed condition ends. Cost 1,500¥ +1,500¥ x Rating up to 4; 5,000¥ +5,000¥ x Rating for 5-8 (Illegal)
 
 Grey Hammer (Rating 1; Duration 10 rounds) – this program is used to damage an opponent’s comlink or deck and hardware. Any damage dealt by the persona or program also lowers the target’s maximum Matrix Hit Point score by the same amount and its deals the same damage to the target’s comlink. See repairing below. Cost 5,000¥ (Illegal)
 
Hammer (max Rating 4; Constant) – increases your persona’s attack damage. Rating I increase the die to 1d8 damage for 750¥; or Rating II increase the die to 1d10 damage for 1,500¥; a Rating III increases the damage die to 1d12 damage for 3,000¥; and finally Rating IV increase the dices to 2d8 for 10,000¥ (Illegal). The program can add upgrades to include AP (Matrix Hardness is divided by ½, round down, for attacks) for +5,000¥ (Illegal) and/or Heavy Damage (ignores the Matrix Resistance) for +10,000¥ (Illegal)
 
 Matrix AC (max Rating 4; Duration 10 rounds) – increases your persona’s Armor Class. Rating I for base AC 14 is 500¥. Rating II is base AC 15 for 1,000¥; or Rating III is base AC 16 for 3,000¥; or Rating IV grants base AC 18 for 10,000¥. All add your Intelligence modifier to the AC.
 
 Matrix Hardness (max Rating 5; Duration 10 rounds) – your persona’s Hardness against Matrix damage. Rating I grants a base Matrix Hardness of 2 costing 500¥. Rating II increases it to 3 for +500¥, Rating III increase this to 4 for +1,000¥, Rating IV increases this to 6 for +2,000¥, and finally Rating V increases it to 8 for +3,000¥.
 
 Medic (max Rating 8; Instant) – a type of Matrix Healing Touch but only for Matrix Hit Points. As an Action a persona or system can heal 2d8 + Matrix Constitution modifier back in Matrix Hit Points. The target can use this on themselves a number of times equal to the Rating. Then it requires a repair action to re-use it (it has been used up). Cost 500¥ x Rating.
 
 Quicken (max Rating 6; Constant) – this program allows the Decker to react faster. Add its rating to your Persona’s Matrix Initiative score adds ½ its rating (round down) to Scan, Search and Tracker checks. Cost 500¥ +500¥ x Rating up to 3; 1,000¥ +1,000¥ x Rating for 4-6

Grants +1 equipment bonus to the user’s Computer User opposed skill check against the system or user’s Scan rating to determine its’ is an non-user. Cost 300¥ +300¥ x Rating up to 4; 500¥ +500¥ x Rating for 5-6
 
 Tar Baby (max Rating 8; Instant) – this program can freeze another in place. The target resists with a Matrix Strength save. Failure means it has the Restrained condition. It makes a new save every round at the end of its actions, success ends the condition. This also means that a Persona or system IC cannot move outside of its present node or area. Cost 300¥ +300¥ x Rating up to 4; 500¥ +750¥ x Rating for 5-8 (Illegal)
 
 Targeting (max Rating 3; Duration 10 rounds) – each level of this program adds +2 to your Matrix Attack rolls when dealing direct Matrix damage (via Hammer, etc.). Costs 1,000¥ +1,000¥ x Rating (Illegal)

Cost 750¥ +500¥ x Rating up to 4; 1,500¥ +1,000¥ x Rating for 5-8.
 
 
 
===ACTIONS IN THE MATRIX===
 
Agents
 
Agents are semi-autonomous programs that can perform tasks and assist a decker within the Matrix. The user does not need to be log on itself to employ them but their limited AI means that they tend to be less affective (most tasks are performed at disadvantage when you are logged off).
 
Agents roll their Initiative as a group and obey the users commands absolutely (no action required by you). They can perform almost any task that the Persona can with the correct programming. However they many only run a number of programs equal to their Intelligence modifier -1 (min 1). If sent out autonomy into other systems (as a group or individually) to perform their tasks.
 
Dumpshock When you are forcibly ejected from the Matrix (via Matrix combat where you Persona was knocked to 0 Matrix Hit Points or when a Node crashed) or when you are knocked out of a drone or vehicle (either because it was destroyed or hacked) you experience dumpshock. If any of these conditions are met make a DC15 Intelligence save. Success means you gain the Reeling conditions and recover normally against a base DC12. Failure results in you gaining the Stunned condition for 1 minute (10 rounds). After that you lose the Stunned condition but gain the Reeling conditions instead. You recover from the Reeling condition as normal but the DC15.
 
Hacking a System
 
When one attempts to hack a Matrix system to sleaze past security IC, by-pass a security lock, take over an enemy drone or vehicle or security system, the system must be hacked. There are two ways to do this – try to sneak pass the security protocols or smash through them.
 
Hacking drones and physical locks…
 
 For Drones and Security systems (often controlled by Spyders) a decker or rigger can attempt to seize control of it. They must first get pass the Firewall, either by using a rigger’s VRC (vehicle rig control) cybernetic implant or a program such as Sleaze or Sneak to get past the Firewall. See Drone Hacking talent (pg. 67). To use Sleaze or Sneak the attacker tries to slip past its security system. The drone gets an Intelligence save plus it’s Firewall against the program rating. If it fails the attacker slips through and can use Exploit to seize control of it or Confusion to paralyze it or Crash to shut it down temporally (these are separate actions as normal).
 
 Security locks with Firewalls must be bypassed with either a security tool kit that matches the device (Maglock passkey to bypass a Maglock) with a skill check against the DC or wirelessly with a comlink against the same DC but with a penalty equal to the Firewall rating x4!
 
In the Matrix…
 
 To sneak in the decker must by-pass the secure of the system with a program such as Sleaze, Sneak or Spoof. This is an Action with the systems Firewall rating acting as its Saving Throw bonus. A failed save means that you have slipped by the system and can now act as ‘user’. If the system successfully saves the decker has the option of trying to smash pass the IC or leaving as the system sends out alarms or risk being tracked and dumped out of the Matrix (depending on the system). No matter what she does the system’s Firewall will increase by 1 or more levels.
 
 Smashing through means the decker is going to attack the Firewall itself in order to disable it. She can then move into the secure area and act as an ‘intruder’. The Firewall has its rating times 10 in Matrix Hit Points. If the decker can crash or destroy the Firewall in one round the system will fail to recognize the breach until its base time to run identity checks, which automatically detects intruders.
 
 Within most secure areas (except maybe those of really low important areas) the owners will have IC running at all times past the Firewalls. This IC is use to detect non-users and intruders within it. Depending on the level of security these system run identity checks every 10 minutes for low-security (often called Blue level, the lowest level for security IC), 2 minute for mid-level
 
security (Orange level, a moderate secure area with some sensitive or protective data is stored) and every 5 rounds (Red level, or very secure areas) and every round (Code Red, or ultra-secure areas). Generally speaking a system can also increase one or two levels when it detects a non-user and the Firewall rating increase by one for Red and two for Code Red alerts.
 
When a system has been alerted to an intruder or non-user additional IC is activated. This is highly dependent on the Corp, its resources, the level of sensitivity of the area the decker is in, etc. Blue systems will normally alert personal of breach and raise its level of Orange in 1d6 rounds. Orange systems will activate Grey IC system to seek out intruders and either attempt to crash their Persona (bring it down to 0 Matrix Hit Points) or activate a Tracker program to find the decker’s meat body. Many corporations will also raise an Orange threat to Red in 1d6+2 rounds. Red systems will active IC (most are Grey but some MegaCorps will activate Black IC also) along with wageslave deckers themselves and automatically attempt a trace on the decker’s meat body. Code Red alerts are only found with the most paranoid of corps. There will be multiple levels of IC and deckers activated and Tracker programs used at once.
 
====Matrix Actions in Combat====
 
For Matrix combat your Initiative is your Intelligence Modifier and if you are proficient with Initiative you also add your Proficiency bonus. Your Attack roll is your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. These can be altered by Programs. Some programs also require a saving throw. The basic save the DC is 8 + program rating (1-8) + your Intelligence modifier + comlink’s Firewall bonus. Your Persona may also have to make saving throws and gains your comlink’s Firewall bonus to all saves from the Matrix. Nodes and IC security and various Matrix systems all gain their Firewall rating as a bases for their saves unless otherwise noted.
 
Remember while using hot-Emersion you have advantage on your Initiative checks and gain an extra action each round. This extra action can only be used for Matrix actions. These include Activating a Program, Attack, Disconnect, Dodge, Search and Scan
 
Activating a Program: It takes an action to activate a program. Programs with duration of Instant must be active each time they are used. Their affects can be lasting. Those with a Duration require no concentration but must be reactivated to have it be back online. While a decker can have multiple programs up and running you cannot have two of the same programs with duration running at the same time. Programs with a Constant duration are active for as long as you remain in the Matrix. When you disconnect they all end.
 
Attack: As above you make an attack check against any Persona, Icon, Program or System that you can see. Movement of Personas and programs is at the speed of light within the Matrix so range is irrelevant. If you succeed you deal your Matrix damage.
 
Disconnect: As a full round action you can disconnect from the Matrix. This is safe but any Tracker programs or similar system searches still happen against your location until the start of your next round. You can disconnect as a basic action which automatically ends any such searches against you but you must make an Intelligence save against Dumpshock.
 
Dodge: As an action you impose Disadvantage on all Matrix attacks against your Persona and you gain advantage against any Matrix program that imposes a save against you until the start of your next round.
 
Search and Scan: As an action you can run either program within the Matrix or in the physical world to search for hidden comlinks and other systems or to shift through datafiles to search out specific information or to gather the intel of a datafile or program or corporate system.
 
 
 
===REPAIRING PROGRAMS===
 
When you are within the Matrix your Persona can suffer damage or have a program crash it requires ‘repair’ before you can use it again. There are two types of repair – permanent fixes and quick fixes (sort of like jury-rigging for mechanics).
 
Permanent fixes require a user to be logged off the Matrix and physically working on the comlink. With one hour of work and a DC15 Mechanics skill check with a Repair kit or similar tool set. The fixer can repair one crashed or ‘used up’ Program or restore all lost Matrix Hit Points. With the same check and an hour it could also restore 1d8 + his Intelligence and proficiency bonus (if proficient with Mechanics) total from any maximum Matrix Hit Points the system has suffered. A separate check and hour or work is required to restore Matrix Hit Point Maximums. A separate check would allow you to repair any Matrix damage done to a comlink directly by the same amount. To repair a comlink also costs 10¥ worth of supplies per HP restored. Without supplies the user only repairs ¼ (round down) the listed amount.
 
Quick Fixes can be done with in the Matrix and take an Action with a DC15 Computer Use skill check for the fixer to temporarily restore one partial crashed or ‘used up’ Program or to restore a crashed program to partially crashed (it requires two checks to full restore a fully crashed program) or to restore 1d8 + his proficiency bonus if trained in Computer Use back in lost Matrix Hit Points. These fixes only last 1 minute (10 rounds) before they are lost again (the program re-crashes and the Matrix Hit Points are again lost). If the user got a DC25+ on a check it will last until the user logs off the Matrix before they are again lost. Note however that a for each failed or successful quick fix check on a specific Program or restores Matrix Hit Points increases the DC by +5 for each individual check. After the user has taken a long rest the DC for quick fixes for each system is returned to 15.
 
===WRITING YOUR OWN PROGRAMS===
 
 
 
== VEHICLES AND DRONES HOUSERULES ==
 
In the world of Shadowrun a great majority of vehicles and all drones are “self-operating”. Some very cheap and old models of some vehicles can’t but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule. In all cases then below – an operator is the vehicles controller. Someone ordering a drone to take an action is not the operator, the drone (or self-driving car) is. Crew includes the operator and all passengers within the vehicle. A gunner is a non-operator who is manning a vehicle weapon.
 
===BASE VEHICLE AND DRONE NOTES===
 
'''SIZE Modifier''': Small and Medium size 0, Large size 1, Huge 2, Gargantuan 4, Colossal 6, Massive 8 and Behemoth 10 (possible Leviathan 12). Can be positive or negative value depending on situation.
 
 
 
'''Vehicle Armor Class''' = 10 + negative size modifier + armor bonus. More maneuverable vehicles add the vehicle operator’s Dexterity or Intelligence modifier (some s max of +2).
 
 
 
'''Vehicles Size Modifiers'''
 
:'''Small''', Modified ¹: +0, Examples: 10-Speed bike
 
:'''*Medium''', Modifier¹: +0, Examples: Street motorcycle
 
:'''*Large''', Modifier¹: -1, Examples: Heavy street motorcycle, compact car
 
:'''*Huge''', Modifier¹: -2, Examples: Family car/sadan, SUV
 
:'''*Gargantuan''', Modifier¹: -4, Examples: Cargo van/transport, light  APC
 
:'''*Colossal''', Modifier¹: -6, Examples: Jet fighter, LAV craft, semi-truck, main battle tank, sailing yacht
 
:'''*Massive''', Modifier¹: -8, Examples: Jumbo jet, light freighter
 
:'''*Behemoth''', Modifier¹: -10, Examples: Aircraft carrier
 
¹ -Apply these modifiers to the vehicles Armor Class, as well as to the Initiative and Vehicle control checks made by the vehicles occupants.
 
====Vehicle and Drone Conditions====
 
Just like creatures, drones and vehicles have a Damage Threshold that can affect the crafts performance.
 
 
 
'''Vehicle Damage Threshold''' = 10 + vehicle’s Strength modifier + size modifier (i.e. Medium +5, Large +10, Huge +15, Gargantuan +20, Colossal +30, Behemoth +50, Titan +60, Leviathan +75, Dreadnaught +100).
 
* Vehicles that suffer their Damage Threshold from one attack gain the Reeling Condition and all actions taken by the operator or crew suffer the effects this condition for any tasks on the vehicle’s systems (piloting checks, attack rolls, repair, sensors, etc.).
 
* Vehicles already suffering the Reeling Condition that again take damage equal to or exceeding its Damage Threshold acquires the Stunned Condition. The crew may still be able to act, but the vehicle cannot move under its only control. Aircraft fall from the sky, ground vehicles tend to move out of control and/or crash, while spacecraft move in a straight line at the same speed as it was before it suffered the condition. Any actions the crew attempts against or with the vehicle’s systems, while the vehicle is Stunned, are at a disadvantage. Vehicles, unlike creatures, cannot naturally recover from either Reeling or Stunned conditions. Instead they must Re-rout power (see below).
 
 
 
At zero hit points, vehicles are '''Out of Control''' (see below) and is no longer functioning. All the crew can do it attempt to fix it or abandoned it.
 
 
 
If in hostile environment (underwater, toxic, the void of space, etc.) the vehicle starts venting atmosphere, and the crew has a number of rounds to escape or get to life support area (or jury-rig an area) equal to the reverse of the Vehicle size penalty (i.e. a Large vehicle has one round of atmosphere left, while a Colossal vehicle has six rounds). If a vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points by and attack that deals damage equal to or greater than its damage Threshold, it is destroyed. In addition, all of the vehicle’s occupants take this damage, ¾ if the vehicle has ½ or ¾ cover, ½ damage if they have full cover. Occupants can make a '''DC15''' Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) ability check gain Resistances to this damage.
 
 
 
On a critical hit (even if not destroyed) that knock the vehicle to 0 Hit Points, all occupants also take ½ the damage inflicted from this last attack. Occupants can make a '''DC15''' Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) ability check gain Resistances to this damage (taking ¼ the base damage).
 
 
 
==== Special Vehicle Combat Rules ====
 
'''Area of Effect''': Attackers of such weapons can pick a square and make an attack check AC 10 to successfully hit this point, failure hit the same general area but al targets gain advantage on their Maneuver check to resist the damage. Targets within the AOE must make a Maneuver check with a '''DC''' of 8 + the vehicle’s Intelligence modifier + the gunner’s Dexterity or Intelligence modifier (whichever is better) + the gunner’s proficiency modifier. Success halves the damage. Failing this maneuver does not inflict the normal failed maneuver check damage. At long range of the weapons, targets gain Resistance to the damage. \
 
 
 
'''Autofire''': see new Situation rules. Vehicles can instead suffer ½ Speed to gain the ‘Brace’ effect (lowering the penalty to the Autofire attack) and the vehicle still suffers the same result that all attacks against it until the start of the next round are at Advantage. Focusing on one target deals an additional +2d weapon damage (before multipliers) or it affects listed AOE if the gunner got a 10+ on its attack check. See Area of Effect for maneuver check.
 
 
 
'''Collision Damage'''. Vehicle size Small 1d6, Medium 2d6, Large 3d6, Huge 4d8, Gargantuan 5d10, Colossal 7d10, Behemoth 10d10, Titan 12d12, Leviathan 12d20, Dreadnaught 20d20. This assume that the vehicle moved at least 50 feet that round before striking its target (Space 1). Moving up to 100 feet in a round (Space 3) doubles the damage and moving over 200 feet (Space 6) triples the damage. All crew and passengers in enclosed vehicles also suffer this damage as if they had Resistance (if not enclosed they suffer the full damage). With a successful '''DC18''' Strength or Dexterity saving throw, the damage is halves (in affect they only suffer ¼ the damage if enclosed).
 
 
 
'''Missile Lock'''. Unguided rockets, missile and torpedoes can only make Area of Effect attacks (as above). The operator or gunner can also attempt to make a direct attack against a target with an Action and an Intelligence (Computer Use) check against the target’s AC (normal attack bonuses and penalties). If it succeeds it gains a “partial lock” onto the target and can make a standard attack check the following round as an Action. If it succeeded the AC by +5 or more it gains a ‘missile lock’ and is at advantage on it attack on the following round’s Attack action. A missile lock attack that misses can attempt a follow up attack against the same target on the following round but without advantage as a Bonus action. If this second attack or a partially locked attack misses, the weapon exploded as a failed AOE attack (i.e. all targets in the area have advantage on their maneuver saves).
 
 
 
'''Out of Control'''. An out of control vehicle (one that is Stunned or has 0 hit points remaining) is no long under control of the vehicle operator.
 
* Ground vehicles require a DC15 Drive check at disadvantage or it crashes (MPH equal feet in falling). Otherwise is skids to a haul in 1d4 rounds moving in the same general direction. If there are any obstacles in the way it make crash into them (see Collisions).
 
* Aircraft immediately start falls 500 feet plus an additional 2,000 feet for each additional round until it either hits the surface or is reactivated. Resolve falling damage as normal, and all passengers and crew suffer ½ this damage.
 
 
 
===VEHICLE AND DRONE ACTIONS===
 
 
 
*'''Automatidate Actions'''. Many vehicles employ a system A.I. to aid in various tasks. They can Aid Other for the Vehicle or System operator with making any Vehicle Operator tests (if they have the proficiency). Non-combat Automaticed system can also perform the following maneuvers independently – Hide, Maneuver, Move, Repair, Reroute Power, .
 
* '''Attack'''. As an action an operator or gunner can fire one vehicle weapon system. Vehicle weapons use either Dexterity or Intelligence (your choice) for both attack and damage bonuses.
 
*'''Attack Run''' (Vehicle Operator Only). As an Action, an aircraft or spacecraft with heavy auto only weapons or bombs and missiles can make a special ‘Attack Run’. However all attacks against the vehicle also have Advantage until the start of the operator’s next turn. For heavy auto weapons they affect targets in a wide line of 25 feet wide and up to 75 feet long (1x3 on space scale). All targets within this Area of Effect are at disadvantage on all Dexterity saves against this damage. With dropped bombs and missiles used against ground or stationary target having normal saves from indirect attacks, and can affect a line of affect with each bomb or missiles AOE (i.e. Rocket Launcher have an AOE of 60x60ft AOE. If the gunner drops 3 bombs then the AOE becomes 60 x 180 feet AOE). If the gunner has a “spotter” that it can communicate with on the ground and makes a '''DC18''' Wisdom (Insight) check then target’s saves are at disadvantage instead.
 
*'''Dogfight''' (Vehicle Operator Only). Only aircraft may engage in a Dogfight. Size does not matter and smaller craft have a distinctive advantage over larger, less maneuverable vehicles. As a Reaction, any pilot may initiate a dogfight against another ship. If one side does not wish to engage in a dogfight they can be ‘forced’ with a contested Piloting plus maneuver modifier skill check but the aggressor is at -1d6 to their skill. If the aggressor fails the dogfight is not initiated. If the aggressor wins then a dogfight is taking place and the loser has disadvantage on their attack rolls against the aggressors during the first round of combat. Fighter Wings can engage in dogfights as a group (choosing one pilot from each wing to make the check; gains a +1 insight check for each additional fighters in the wing to its pilot check).
 
::" ''*Dogfighting''. At the beginning of each round, ships engage in a dogfight make opposed vehicle operator check as a ‘free’ action. The side that ‘loses’ is at disadvantage on any attack rolls it makes against the winners this round. Each round the winner of the Dogfighting contest can move the group up to ½ his ship’s base speed on its action IF the craft are of equal size or smaller. Larger craft can continue to move as normal even if they are the loser.
 
:: ''*Disengage from a Dogfight'': When a ship wishes to leave a dogfight it requires an action and contested vehicle operations check on its turn. If the target wins they leave the dogfight (no longer considered in the dogfight). If the target fails it can still leave but all enemy ships in the enemy ships in the dogfight can make an Opportunity attack against it. The ship can remain in the dogfight and not suffer these attacks. Massive ships and larger do not need to spend an action to disengage from ships that are smaller but they still would suffer an OA to do so.
 
:: ''*Firing into a Dogfight'': for any ships outside a dogfight, attack rolls against enemy ships in a dogfight with allies or other ships are at disadvantage except against Massive size or larger.
 
*'''Hide''' (Vehicle Operator Only). The operator can use his action to make a Hide check during its’ round, so long as he has full obscuring cover (darkness does not count in space) or a Stealth system.
 
*'''Maneuver''' (Vehicle Operator Only). These checks are modified by the vehicles maneuver rating and can cause damage with a failed check. Failure causes a number of 1d6 damage equal to ¼ the vehicle’s HD (round up). This damage is not reduced by resistance or Hardness.
 
::''*Avoid Missiles and Torpedoes'': As a reaction, the operator can attempt to avoid a missile or torpedo that has just successfully struck his ship. Make a maneuver check contested against the attack roll, success means the missile or torpedo missed that round. If subject to a missile or torpedo barrage, a base success means avoid one missile or torpedo and each additional +5 over the attack roll that operator made avoids another missile or torpedo of the same barrage.
 
::''*Dash'': The operator can use its’ action to move the vehicle its Base speed movement again. This is a '''DC12''' maneuver check to gain the benefits. With success non-operating crew preforming any action during this movement are at a Disadvantage for any skill or attack roll.
 
::''*Dodge'': As its action the operator may take the Dodge action with a vehicle it controls. This is a '''DC15''' maneuver check to gain the benefits of imposing Disadvantage from enemy attacks until the start of the operator’s next turn. With success non-operating crew preforming any action during this movement are at a Disadvantage for any skill or attack roll.
 
::''*Fighter Wings'': For aircraft of size Gargantuan and smaller, can form attack wings of up to four vehicles. As a free action, at the beginning of the turn, all pilots must make a '''DC12''' operations skill check. With success, all ships in the wing move at the same speed and remain within 30 feet (or the same square in space) of each other and they combine to aid each other’s defense. Only one of the fighters may attack in the round though their combine fire adds this check and damage. A duel (two) fighter wing adds +1 to both ship’s AC and +1 to the one pilot’s attack checks and +1d to its weapon damage dice (i.e. 3d8 because 4d8) that round. With four or more ships, add +2 to all ship’s AC, +2 to its main attack checks and +2d damage dice.
 
::''*Increase Speed'': As a bonus action, the operator can try and increase the speed of its vehicle. Make a '''DC15''' operator check. Success increase the ship’s speed by +50% this round. A '''DC20'''+ doubles the speed this round. A failure also reduces the ship’s speed by 50% that round.
 
*'''Move'''. As vehicle can move up to its base Speed in the round so long as it is not disabled, etc.
 
*'''Ram''' (Vehicle Operator Only). As an Action, an operator can attempt to ram a target by moving into the target vehicle’s space. You must have sufficient movement to reach the target’s space. You can only ram a target that is larger than your vehicle or up to two sizes smaller than your vehicle. As an Action make a vehicle skill check at disadvantage against the target’s AC. This is something like an Area Attack. If the check is successful, your vehicle and the target take Collision Damage. If your vehicle survives you can either finish the rest of your movement or attempt to ‘push’ the target with your vehicle. This works like Shoving a Creature (PHB pg. 179) using the Vehicles Strength or Dexterity bonus. If the target has lost power for whatever reason, it is at disadvantage on this check.
 
:If the attack fails, your vehicle and the targets suffer ½ the normal damage and your vehicles moves the next unoccupied space and stops (end of movement). As a reaction, the target vehicle operator can attempt to avoid this with an opposed operator’s check vs. the attacker’s check. With success it both ships only suffers ½ the damage or no damage if the attack check 'missed'.
 
*'''Repair''' (System Operator). A damaged vehicle can be repaired, with time. If the vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points that also exceeded its Damage Threshold in the attack the vehicle has been destroyed and is generally not repairable. Someone may be able to jury-rig a short term fix to get it moving for a short period, but generally a vehicle in this state is sold for scrap. To repair non-destroyed vehicle (one reduced no lower than 1 hit points), a creature can work on it for one hour and make a '''DC15''' Intelligence (Mechanics) check. A success repairs 1d8 + its proficiency bonus in hit points. If the vehicle is suffering any condition these apply to the skill check.
 
::''*Jury-Rig'': To jury-rig damage of a non-disable vehicle requires a '''DC20''' Intelligence (Mechanics) check and an Action of work. This restores 1d8 + proficiency bonus back in vehicle hit points. However all damage restored in this way is reapplied to the vehicle after whatever ‘scenes’ you are in end (generally at the end of combat but the GM has the final say). This can result in the vehicle being disable or even destroyed, depending on any extra damage it suffers.
 
::You can attempt to jury-rig a ‘fix’ against some condition (like sealing a room on a submersible that is sinking and taking on water). This takes a number of rounds equal to the vehicle’s size modifier, minimum 1 round (i.e. a large vehicle requires 1 round, a colossal vehicle requires 6 rounds) and is a '''DC15''' Intelligence (Mechanic) check for most situations (GM’s call).
 
::To get a disabled/non-destroyed vehicle up and ‘limping-along’ requires a '''DC20''' Intelligence (Mechanics) check and at least one hour of work. Success means that the vehicle will acts as if Reeling for a number of hours equal to your character level. At the end of this time the vehicle jury-rig ends (but you can keep trying to jury-rig it to keep it limping along). The GM might allow this condition to last until the vehicle can limp to some port, depending on situation.
 
*'''Reroute Power''' (System Operator). A crew must make a '''DC15''' Intelligence (Mechanics) check to remove the Reeling or Stunned condition from a vehicle (note that after the Stunned condition ends it is still Reeling). This takes a number of rounds equal to the reverse of the Vehicle size modifier (i.e. a Large vehicle has one round of atmosphere left, while a Colossal vehicle has six rounds) to remove either condition, one step at a time. A crew can try and jury-rig the repairs in ½ the time (round down, minimum 1 round), but the '''DC''' increases to 20. Failure at jury-rigging causes a Reeling vehicle to suffer the Stunning Condition for one round (then returns to Reeling at the beginning of the operator’s next round) and can attempt to repair on the following rounds. Failure at jury-rigging causes a Stunned vehicle to suffer a number of 1d6 damage equal to ¼ the vehicle’s HD (round up) and the vehicle is still Stunned.
 
* '''Search with Sensors''' (System Operator). Scanners use both passive and active scanning to detect another ship within the same system (that is not actively hiding). The bonus is based on vehicle’s Intelligence mod and adds directly to the operator’s Intelligence (Computer Use) checks. With passive scanners assume that vehicles Senses rating is its passive perception. Active scanner is an Action to use and grants the operator advantage on its perception test but it also grants advantage (passive +5) on other vehicles to detecting it.

These are only the most common environmental situations a runner might encounter. Z-gravity, the vacuum of space, etc. are really unlikely but see in Shadowrun but the basics are included in the rules.

Trudging through deep snow for hours on end, or facing biting, bitter winds, can dehydrate and fatigue a creature as quickly as blazing deserts. Every four hours spent in weather around freezing (32° F), a creature must make a '''DC15''' Constitution saving throw. Failure means gaining one level of exhaustion. This can eventually kill the creature. For below 0° F this save is at disadvantage. These rolls assume the creature is wearing winter clothing or a wetsuit if underwater. If not increase to '''DC20'''. Arctic survival suits ignore the basic condition and grant advantage on the save below 0° F down to -40° F then standard saves and finally at disadvantage on saves below -80° F. Below -100° F (extremely unlikely) without a space suit or similar protection the creature fails this saving throw automatically which is applied every minute.</br>
 
Space includes temps below -100° F.</br> 
 
 
 
'''EXCESSIVE HEAT'''</br>
 
Intense heat, typically that over 90° F degrees Fahrenheit, can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke, both of which are very dangerous. The actual danger is from dehydration, so well-supplied and conscientious creatures can greatly improve their chances in extreme heat simply by carrying a good amount of water and drinking frequently. When the temperature reaches 90° F degrees or more, the GM should pay attention to how much water creature is able to drink. If they are able to drink at least one gallon of water a day, they may be tired and sunburned, but are in no immediate danger. If that amount of water isn’t available, creature must make '''DC15''' Constitution check every four hours add +2 to the '''DC''' if the creature has half the water needed, add +5 to the '''DC''' if less than half. Add +1 to the '''DC''' for every 5 degrees above 90 the temperature is. However lower the '''DC''' by -2 if the creature is taking no physical action but walking and -5 if sitting and another -3 if sitting in a substantially shaded area. Failure means gaining one level of exhaustion. This exhaustion can kill the creature.</br>
 
In Space, without a spacesuit protection, causes a level of exhaustion every round automatically unless you have 'breathed out' the oxygen in your lungs (requires an Intelligence '''DC15''' save). You can ignore this exhaustion for a number of rounds equal to half your constition score. Physical activity, water and shade have no impact.</br>
 
 
 
'''PRESSURE'''</br>
 
Pressure can come from being deep underwater or hard-g maneuvers in an atmosphere. High atmospheric pressure requires a '''DC10''' Constitution saving throw every hour, 10 minutes if exerting oneself. Extreme pressure, such as from high-g maneuvers in flight or certain atmospheric conditions, increase this to '''DC15''' each round. Failing either causes a level of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.</br>
 
Rising to fast from deep underwater can also cause problems. Taking ¾ the safe time is a '''DC15''' Constitution save. Failure results in 1d6 pressure damage that also reduces the subject’s maximum hit point total by the same amount. Taking ½ the safe time is a '''DC20''' or suffer 3d6 pressure damage (½ if you saved) that also reduces your maximum hit point total by the same amount and costs one level of exhaustion. Taking ¼ the safe time is a '''DC25''' or suffer 5d6 damage pressure (½ if you saved) and reduce the subject’s maximum hit point total by the same amount and suffer two levels of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.</br>
 
You must spend HD to recover lost hit point maximum before you can recover lost hit point total (these are recovered separately). Recovering all lost exhaustion can only be done at one level per long rest with complete rest by the target (no actively heavier then walking).</br>
 
 
 
'''POLLUTION AND TOXIC CONTAMINANTS'''</br>
 
In the Shadowrun timeline there are many contaminated zones where horrible industrial accidents happened created toxic zones and radioactive sites. Certain toxins and gaseous content of a hazardous zones do not support healthy life. Pollutions can include ingestion (drinking or eating contaminated animals or plants), inhaled or from skin contact. Creatures in a polluted environment must make a Constitution save or its hit point maximum are also reduced by the same amount equal to the damage taken. A creature without some kind of breathing apparatus must make a '''DC10-20''' (depending on severity; GM’s call) Constitution save every round (or minute or hour or day or week depending on the level of pollution) or suffer 1d8 (or 1d6 or 1d4) points of toxic damage that reduces its hit point maximum by the same amount and one level of exhaustion. These level of exhaustion can kill the subject.</br>
 
You must spend HD to recover lost hit point maximum before you can recover lost hit point total (these are recovered separately). Exhaustion levels lost due to pollution are not removed until you have restored you maximum hit points is returned to full.</br>
 
 
 
'''RADIATION'''</br>
 
There are various degrees of radiation that causes damage and reduces the creature’s maximum hit point total. Creatures in a radioactive environment must make a Constitution save or its hit point maximum are also reduced by the same amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction is not recovered after a Long Rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to Dangerous levels of radiation require a '''DC12''' save every hour or suffer 1d6 hit points of necrotic damage and also a reduction of the creatures maximum hit point total. Extreme levels of radiation require a '''DC15''' save every minute or suffer 2d6 hit points of necrotic damage (½ if you saved) an also a reduction of the creatures maximum hit point total. Deadly levels of radiation require a '''DC18''' save but every round or suffer 3d6 hit points of necrotic damage (½ if you saved) and a reduction of the creatures maximum hit point total. For all levels a failed Constitution save also imposes the Poisoned condition onto the subject.</br>
 
You must spend HD to recover lost hit point maximum before you can recover lost hit point total (these are recovered separately). The poisoned condition is not removed until you have restored you maximum hit points is returned to full.</br>
 
Space is considered to have a Dangerous levels of radiation.</br>
 
 
 
== EXPLOITAND & EDITS OPTIONAL HOUSERULE ==
 
Something I encountered trying to run Shadowrun is that the game can REALLY bogs down during planning and legwork. There are just too many options for players on what to look into, bouncing ideas around, plans and strategies they might consider, etc. In Dungeons & Dragons these are called '''''Plot Points''''' (in the DMG Optional Rules) but they are a bit different here.
 
 
 
The idea follows something done in '''Blades in the Dark''' ‘''powered by Apocalypse World''’ RPG system. In that game players take on the roles of rogues and hucksters in a big urban fantasy thieves’ guild. In the game you start out with “Planning & Engagement” adventure steps, where the crew (the heroes) huddle around flickering lanterns in their lairs to plot, scheme, bicker about the best approach, lament the dangers and lust about the coins to come. But the players don’t have to do the nitty-gritty planning. Instead the heroes take care of that off-screen and instead they choose a type of plan they have already made. The '''types of plans''' there are include – “Assault”, “Deception” or “Stealth” to name a few. The type of job or plan they make is based on the basic “Details” of the job. In Shadowrun this would be the Mr. Johnson’s job offer. The heroes would get to ask some initial question and negotiate their fee and then very quickly after that we would go straight to the action.
 
 
 
But what happens if they get into the action and discover you are missing a key piece of information or piece of equipment or they did not plan for something that they logically could have thought up beforehand? The solution is called an ‘'''''Exploits'''''’. These are group generation options where you can retro-edit a scene in the middle of the game. Instead of spending lots of time depending and hashing over your plans for hours of real game time the character get their mission and then the very quickly jump into the action. If, later in the game, they come upon a situation they are not prepared to handle one of the players can use an Exploit, make a skill check (depending on what they want to do, etc.) and if they succeed, spend the group point and adjust their actions according.
 
 
 
“'''''We had a plan for that'''''” is when the group can edit something that is happening in the present by saying they planned for it during the off-screen planning part of the adventure. This could be buying some extra gear before the advance or having some plan. Basic edits might be worth only 1 exploit point and require a low DC skill check. Higher, more complex ones might require 2 or even 3 points with a higher DC check.
 
 
 
Another exploit type is “'''''What did my contact say about that'''''?” Legwork is an area I feel the game can get really bogged down in as the players ask different questions and many of them having nothing to do with the case/adventure at hand (sometimes as they get off on a tangent or mislead, etc.). So instead of wasting lots of game time on it or having players pursue inaccurate data, they can spend an Exploit to gain some legwork information of their present situation by saying they did all this work before the action started. After all, in Shadowrun the Mr. Johnson almost never is telling the truth or giving you all the information. You are a ‘denial asset’ after all and it would not be good for the bottom line if you divulged sensitive information to the wrong party.
 
 
 
Exploits are generated by the group’s size and the level of danger of the mission. Not to give too much away during some adventures the GM might say that the Mr. Johnson assumes the party that the job is a ‘Milk Run’ and not that dangerous. The GM assigns the party ½ the party size in exploit points because of this but knows that there are some big complications built into the game that the party will run into fairly shortly and when that happens informs them of this but bumping up the Exploit total, just when the need them.
 
This helps maintain some of the surprise in the adventure. Exploit Points depend on the basic adventure danger level…
 
* '''Milk Runs''' – easy job with low level of overall danger (unless the group screws up). Example – steal something from a low-security area. ½ (round up) Exploit points per party member.
 
* '''Low Danger''' – moderate or average danger levels for your typical Shadowrun team. Example – break into a low end corp to grab some tech/data. 1 Exploit point a party member.
 
* '''Dangerous Job''' – a fairly tough job with some high risks involved for the team. Example – break into a mega-corp research lab to get samples and data. 2 Exploit points a party member.
 
* '''Extreme Danger''' – high levels of danger and risk (to either life or freedoms). Example – break into a mega-corp black op section and kidnap the executive in charge. 3 Exploit points a party member.
 
 
 
'''HOW THIS ALL GOING WORK?'''</br>
 
Mr. Johnson hires the team. He gives them a basic mission spiel and offer of cash payout. This will set a basic ‘mission type’ (blow up some center at night would be an ‘assault’, sneak into area and plan evidences, don’t get caught might be ‘stealth’ etc.) that gives the team their basic ‘plan or mission’ type and the basic number of Exploit points.
 
 
 
The heroes might ask some question and/or negotiation extra cash or equipment rewards. After that the heroes each get to make one or two contact rolls (Gather Information vs. their Contact type) for any extra basic information they might get. The heroes should have their basic load or equipment already on hand and picked out. If they want something extra they can purchase or attempt to find it (with a roll) now and add it to their sheets.
 
 
 
Then we move into the action. The GM gives them the basic set up of where they are and what is happening for this mission. If there is a complication that is somewhat outside their control (like say someone already knows about the Mr. Johnson’s actions and is trying to stop it and already knows about the heroes) this can be where the action starts instead. Say the heroes are heading towards the start of the mission and are about to get ambushed (maybe making a roll vs. Passive Perception) and then “Roll Initiative”. Or if in the middle of the adventure comes up that a contact might have pertinent information the player can ask the GM “Hey my contact X might have had some info on this, can I have contact him?” If it makes since the GM gives the character a normal contact roll, pays the cash to his contact based on that roll and the GM gives them whatever they might have known. Now the player has the info and it can be assumed that everyone heard about it from the player and can act accordingly. Or one of the heroes pipes up saying he wants to do something or to have planned for a percent situation or maybe wants to have picked up a piece of gear and forgot so can he say he purchased it already? Or wants to gain some background of a person or area or situation with past legwork.
 
 
 
The GM then provides a roll, depending on the situation. Some examples…
 
:(a) The group is sneaking into a place. The job did not say to totally avoid collateral damage etc. and the team spots a pair of barghest guard dogs outside the facility they are breaking into. They don’t want to take the chance that the dogs’ howls might attract the guards so one of the heroes says “Hey could I have purchased some of those ‘stummer-sound wave jammers’? I think they should be able to mask these dogs’ howls for us to take them out and not alert anyone! The game sees that the stummer is not restricted or illegal and just costs money. The character could use one of his ‘edits’ to have the stummer on hand and ready to go.
 
:(b) Or the heroes are breaking into a facility and forgot to bring wire-cutters when they encounter a chain-link fence. Its’ also electrified. Someone could use an edit to have remembered to grab a pair of ‘grounded’ non-conductive cutters and just pay the money now.
 
:(c) Or the heroes are sneaking down an interior hallway and see a check point ahead that also has a big gun emplacement in front of it. While the rigger is attempting to hack the security system that controls the gun itself, one of the other heroes might ask if he could have planned on using the ventilation system at some point to get closer to one of the guard posts unnoticed. The GM had said that the ventilation system was too small to crawl through earlier. But the runner had studied the schematics and noticed that at this point there was an older design or something similar and it was big enough to get through here. The GM might give the runner a Dexterity (Stealth) check '''DC15''' to be able to use this edit in this situation. Failure means he can’t use this edit in this situation as the building had been updated since the runner saw the plans or if he makes it by +5 or +10, not only does he get the edit but he is able to sneak closer than he had asked for or that more of the team could his lead, getting a bonus on a group Stealth check, etc.
 
:(d) Or the heroes are fleeing the corp with security hot on their tail. The team spotter notices some flashing Lone Star cruisers heading this way. She asks if she can use one of her edits to have bribed the local Lone Star Sergeant to be slow on any responses to calls to this neighborhood. The GM asks how much the bribe might be and then gives the runner a Charisma (Persuasion) based on that. If she succeeds she deduces the cash and notices that they are a few blocks off and that they don’t seem to be in too great a hurry and have slowed for stop-lights, etc. Failure might mean that the cops are little closer and that Sergeant is in the lead car with a pissed off look (maybe he is honest or he is pissed the offer was so low, etc.). :(e) Or the team is breaking into an Ares’s facility in the Barrens, looking to steal some research into a prototype laser weapon system that Ares is supposed to be testing here. Inside the Decker stumbles across some files on a new germ-warfare treatment that Ares is testing for the Confederate States Marine Corp to combat some flu strain they discovered in the Caribbean League recently in the Narco-Wars with the Cartels there. One of the team members has a Street Doc contact and she asks “Hey my Street Doc use to do research in germ theory, can I have asked him about any ‘super-flus’ he might have heard about coming from that area?” The GM knows that the Mr. Johnson wants this research also ask his corporation is developing the flu weapon and wants to know how far along Ares is in developing a vaccine. He had told them to steal any and all research they stumble upon at the facility in the hopes they stumbled onto it also. He did not want them to know this of course but with a good contact roll the runner learns from her Street Doc contact that there was a corp by the name of NewGenics, that is based in Aztlan, was working on something similar and that the doc had heard rumors that the corp was partially funded by the drug cartels in the nation as well. This could have an interesting impact on how the heroes proceed.
 
 
 
== GM'S SECTION ==
 
In this section I am listing some NPC, Paracritters, Upgrades and Vehicle & Drone creation.
 
=== NONHEROIC NPC ===
 
Low-End, non-heroic NPCs are created the same as normal characters, picking a class, etc. but with the following exception.
 
* Don’t double their hit dices at 1st level and they must roll instead of starting with maximum.
 
* Don’t gain Class Talents or Class Bonus Feats. However the GM may simply assign certain NPC talents when creating them. For example a Wiz-Bike Ganger might have the Spellcasting talent, etc.
 
* Don’t start or gain Karma points. GM may assign a few points to a group of Minions.
 
* Non-Heroic character ‘generally’ assign one use the following stat range – 12, 12, 12, 11, 10, 10. ‘Elite’ minion might instead have the following attribute spread – 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 10.
 
* Non-Heroic character do not add their proficiency bonus to their Damage Threshold.

These beings always have the effect of Truesight. This can be tricked with the Masking ability though (see Initiate Talent trees under Adapts and Magic Users).

'''''VITAS virus'''''. This virus is carried by most devil rats in various strengths. When a meta-human or other living being is bitten by a devil rat (suffers at least 1HP of damage) they must make a DC12 Constitution save or become infected. Infection takes 1d4 days for the symptoms to manifest. Symptoms include fatigue and cramps. The infected suffers one level of exhaustion and it regains only half the number of Hit Points from spending Hit Dice (with a short or long rest). At the end of each long rest, an infected must make a DC12 Constitution save.  On a failed save, the character gains one level of exhaustion. On a successful save, the character’s Exhaustion level decreases by one level. If a successful saving throw reduces the infected creature’s level of Exhaustion below one, the creature recovers from the disease. Otherwise the infected does not recover any Exhaustion at the end of any rest. </br>

'''Devil Rats''' (Rattus diabolis) are the Awakened form of the common rat (Rattus norvegicus), and have become the scourge of Urban areas. They resemble pale, wrinkled, and hairless rats that grow up to a meter in length (including the tail). Like their progenitors, they are very adaptable, living wherever metahumans can live, and often carry diseases.</br>
 
There are reports of Devil Rats carrying the VITAS spectrum of diseases. There are unsubstantiated reports of devil rat being able to kill healthy human adults while asleep. Rumors also indicate a sort of malign intelligence in the devil rat. Many cities have launched extensive and expensive campaigns to exterminate the devil rat, all to no avail. Their only weakness is the fact that they cannot tolerate sunlight for long periods of time.
