Editing Savage Shadowrun AE Conversion

== SHADOWRUN - THE SETTING ==
This conversion notes are based on certain assumptions and expectation. I can’t recreate everything from Shadowrun and reflect it in Savage Worlds, so I am going more for the “spirit” of the game…

THENES FOR THIS SETTING...</br>
[[File:SR,CityNight.jpg | 400px | right ]]
1. '''Arcane Magic vs. Cybernetic Technology''': In a world were both magic and cyberware exists, they don’t coexists peacefully. Those who rely on magic have a harder time with technology, especially invasive technology that they implant into the bodies. Concurrently technology tends to not accept a lot of magic into its systems.

2. '''Fractured Power''': The Sixth World is one of fractured power. It it’s filled with nations, sovereign corporations, criminal syndicates, powerful individuals of myriad of origins, dragons, and secret magical groups. All of them want what any such entity wants: more power. For the last few years many of these struggles have not only been bloody and often unprofitable, but some have been very embarrassing.

3. '''Corporate Espionage and Conspiracies''': The world of Shadowrun is not a peaceful world of the future but one fraught with hidden and obvious dangers around every corner and behind ever smile.

4. '''“Denialable” Accesses''': In this caldron of struggling powers, espionage and conspires there is a need for access that cannot be tied back to these entity; maybe because of embarrassment, exposer, hidden dangers, public scorn, competition, etc. These access, often nonpersons (SIN-less), free-agent criminals, called Shadowrunners. They can be hired and discard with little evidence linking them back to the source.

5. '''Eldritch Horror''': in the early editions of the game there was an idea introduced that with the rise of magic, some dark evil forces from deep in Astral Space where rising out of the darkness to threaten the world.

6. '''Better than Bad''': this idea is more about the theme or mood then setting, that I want to run... the heroes are really heroes and protectors of a small community or group. The might still take corp jobs to fund their cause(s) but they are also working (on the cheap) for the locals making their community better.

The timeline where my game is set in the late 2060s, after the election and assassination of Dunkelzahn, the appearance of Ghostwalker in Denver, etc.

NOTES on the Sixth World
:AGING: All the Meta-variants reach relative emotional maturity around the same age (17-25) but Orks and Trolls do reach physical maturity earlier than the others. Generally around 13-15 (where Humans and the other do so around 19-22). This has caused a great deal of social issues but so far they are unresolved.
:Humans, Orks and Trolls all live about the same length of time -- 50 or so years on the streets, 60-70 for low end wage slaves and up to a 100 years for corporate elite with access to the best in modern medicine. Dwarves appear to live about twice as long with the same lifestyles, while it is unknown how long elves can live. Rumors say it is believed to be up to 500 years and more then a few scientists are looking into the Metagene responsible.

:THe UCSA is a far more authoritarian and powerful than in the base game. The Megacorp found out early that running law enforcement, social services, military and base government function was expensive. Sure they have para-military forces and desert war-games but these are small scale. They don't want to shoulder the costs. Hence most corps pay a basic Corporate Tax to the various governments so they can focus on profits. 
:As the UCAS is more authoritarian and in power in my setting as noted it grants lucrative contracts to the Megacorps (as due many other nation states but not all) and maintains a fairly large standing army and federal law enforcement agenancies (FBI, ATF, FEMA, etc). These focus more or terrorism and criminals instead of inter-Corp intrege and espionage. The government is also far more internally focused and does not play a large a role on the world stage.

== RULES AND SETTING RULES ==
Using the '''Savage World Adventure Edition''' (SWAE) a basic framework of the '''Science Fiction Companion''' (SFC).

'''Setting Rules''' (SWAE pg. 136-141) 
:'''''Born a Hero''''' - ignore Rank requirements for Edges at character creation 
:'''''Gritty Damage''''' - whenever a Wild Card takes a Wound, roll on the Injury Table and apply the results immediately but roll only once per incident regardless of how many Wounds are actually caused. If all wounds from an incident are Soaked ignore the Injury Table 
:'''''High Adventure''''' - the heroes can spend a Benny to gain the one-time use of a Combat Edge. They must meet the Rank and any Edge requirements as usual but can ignore Trait requirements
:'''''More Skill Points''''' - heroes start with 15 points for Skills 
:'''''Multiple Languages''''' - start with native in a d8 and start with ½ Smarts dice in additional languages at d6. Most common languages in the Seattle Metroplex in the 2060's are English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinesse (Cantonese and Mandarin), Citispeak (kind of a mix of street slang from most of the locale languages), Or'zet (local Orkish street slang but also spoken by the Cascade Orks), Sperethiel (Elvish), Cascade Crow and Salish. There are others but most folk speak at least one of these languages.
:'''''Wound Cap''''' - heroes suffer a maximum of 4 Wounds in s single hit; apply this limit before making Soak rolls

== HOUSE-RULES ==
'''Range Modifiers''': Extreme -6 (see SFC pg. 27)

'''Heroic Recovery''': At the end of fight, all characters who have suffered a Wound or Wounds can make a Soak Check after a short rest (10+ minutes) for free. Make a normal healing test, with a success you recover a Wound.

'''Vehicles''': Personal weapons that are not rated as Heavy (see Gear) do not apply their AP values against vehicle armor and the vehicle’s Toughness rating is increased by its Size against such weapons (i.e. a standard car that has a size of 3, increases its toughness by 3).

'''Essence''': is the equivalent of Stain from the Science Fiction Companion but halved (Essence is equal to ½ the lower of Spirits or Vigor trait die). Your Strain score is not only a penalty to casting spells its also a penalty that a caster suffers when attempting to cast a beneficial spell onto a target that has Strain (some Beneficial spells examples include Boost Trait, Darksight, Heal, etc.)

= CHAPTER ONE – CHARACTER CREATION =
Steps to creating a character for Savage World Shadowrun…
* Pick a Meta-Human Type.
* Picks an ICONIC Framework from the list below.
* Assign Attribute Points (5 points) and Skill Points (15 points). Note all Starting skill levels.
* Pick Hindrances - up to one Major and two Minor. Spend them as per SWAE pg. 9 (A character whom applies one Minor Hindrance towards wealth at character creation gains an additional 5,000¥ for starting gear, etc.)
* Starts with 5,000¥ to purchase Gear, Cybernetics, etc.  Between mission a character must maintain his lifestyle (rent and food) and lose an additional 1d6 x5% ¥ of the characters total cash on hand on miscellaneous events like partying, going out, maintaining contacts, etc.
* All Shadowrunners also start with a basic Fake ID (d6) for free (see GEAR)
* Characters start with three months of their Low Lifestyle rent paid for have 3 basic Individual Contacts of their choosing whom they can go to for information and rumors and Network with (SWAE pg. 133). With the CONNTECT Edge a character gains 3 additional contacts of any category – Agency, Corp, Criminal, Magical Societies, etc. These contacts can either be Low-level 'friends for life' (they will go out of their way to aid/help you) or Mid-level friendly,

== METAHUMANS ==
Note these are only the most common metahuman variants. There are others and can be taken with GM’s permission (and need to be created with the Racial Creation rules). There are also meta-variant humans and minor species but generally rare and should be NPCs.</br>

[[File:SR.D5.Heavy.jpg | 300px | left]]
'''HUMAN''' </br>
The most common metahumanity type of the world making up around 40% of the total population. They are known as being adaptive and often skilled.</br>
'''Adaptive''': gain one free Edge. Must still qualify (except for Rank) and start with one Attribute trait at d6 instead of d4 (and maximum starting of a d12+1 with this attribute). Gain one additional Skill points (16 total basic).</br>

'''DWARF''' </br>
Short and stocky dwarfs and their variants make up about 15% of the overall meta-human population. Often headstrong and tough as nails.</br>
'''Infravision''': can see 'heat'. This halves Illumination penalties when attacking warm targets (including invisible beings).</br>
'''Resistant to Toxin''': +2 to checks against toxins and poisons.</br>
'''Robust''': base Vigor of a d6 and a max starting of a d12+1.</br>
'''Squat''': Dwarfs base Pace is 5 with a Run die of a d4.</br>
'''Willful''': base Spirits of a d6 and maximum starting of a d12+1</br>

'''ELF'''</br> 
Lean and attractive to a fault, elves and their variants make up around 15% of the overall metahuman population.</br>
'''Allure''': almost all other races find elves to be beautiful. They gain a +1 to Persuasion checks with all races except human supremacists.</br>
'''Grace''': base Agility and Smarts of a d6 in each and a  max starting of a d12+1 in each.</br>
'''Impudent''': Elven are attractive and trend to be treated well by almost everyone, creating a bit of an elitist attitude. Elves have the Quirk (Minor—Mild sense of superior) Hindrance.</br>
'''Low-Light Vision''': ignore penalties for Dim and Dark illumination.</br>

'''ORK'''</br> 
Big and tough, orks and their variants make up around 25% of the overall population.</br>
'''Bite''': deal Str+d4 damage. See Natural Weapons SWAE pg. 104.</br>
'''Low-Light Vision''': ignore penaltdes for Dim and Dark illumination.</br>
'''Natural Brawlers''': start with a d4 in the Fighting skill and a maximum starting of a d12+1. </br>

[[File:SR.D5.spell.jpg | 300px | left]]'''TROLL'''</br> 
Averaging 9 feet tall and weighing well over 500lbs trolls and their variants only make up about 5% of the overall population.</br>
'''Big''': particularly large in a world where most others aren’t. He subtracts 2 from Trait rolls when using equipment that wasn’t specifically designed for his race and cannot wear their armor or clothing. Equipment, food, and clothing cost double the listed price. Firerms also have an increased cost of +10% (to have bigger handles and triggers) but melee weapon do not require any increase.</br>
'''Clumsy''': -2 to Agility trait test (not linked skills)</br>
'''Dermal Plating''': +2 Armor Points that stack with any other armor.</br>
'''Horns''' and '''Bite''': deal Str+d4 in melee. See Natural Weapons SWAE pg. 104.</br>
'''Infravision''': can see 'heat'. This halves Illumination penalties (including invisible beings).</br>
'''Size +3 and Reach''': Toughness +3 and Reach +1.</br>
'''Ugly''': as Hindrance. Trolls are pretty universally seen as unattractive.</br>
'''Very Strong''': base Strength of a d8 and a maximum starting of a d12+2.</br>


'''SOMETHING ELSE?'''</br>
The meta-variants above are all built on 5 '''''Positive Racial Abilities''''' (SWADE pg. 18-19 and a maximum of 5 '''''Negative Racial Abilities''''' (SWADE pg. 20). With GM approval if you want to try something else I am semi-open to the idea. The ''Changelings'' have made an appearance and while still uncommon are around in the late 2060s. Ghouls and Shapeshifters also around and might be buildable. ''NOTE that please ask about Super-Powers and cost as for many of these Meta Veariants that is the only way you could build one. And even then some things like Vampires are just to powerful until combined somehow with the ICON framework''

In the Shadowrun world, who you know can be just as important as what you know or how good you are. Without knowledge you could walk right into a trap or a situation you are not ready for.

Characters gain the basic Contacts either three low-level friendly contacts or three indifferent middle-level contacts. 

Indifferent contacts are not especially loyal to you and assume they are going to be paid for the information they provide or can be talked into volunteering information they would not normally provide with a bribe. Friendly contacts might grant the information for a discount or free and might even volunteer information that you might need but not know you need.

Low level contacts might not know anything very important but would have some and its willing to share it. Middle level know more but mostly focused in their area.

Using Contacts requires a Networking check (SWAE pg. 133) and each check takes at least 1d6 hours. For a basic +1 bonus 'Money Talks' bonus costs 1d4 x 50¥. For a +2 bonus instead cost d6 x 200¥.  

Some examples of low-end Contacts in Shadowrun include… 
:'''Activist''' – knowledge of what they are passionate about. Tend to be helpful if you have the same goals. 
:'''Bartender''' – good for local information and happening around the area. Also might spot you cheap drinks. 
:'''Cab Driver''' - he knows the city well and might known a lot of out of way places/ 
:'''Chiphead''' or '''Dealer''' – those who use BTL and those who deal in them tend to know what’s happening in their local area.
:'''Ganger''' - local thug and/or protector. Knows whats going on locally.
:'''Mercenary''' – gun for hire and maybe information of arms.

Some examples of Mid-level Contacts

= CHAPTER TWO - MAGIC =
Magic returned some 50 years ago to the world and yet it is still not fully understood. There are three basic Arcane Backgrounds listed below (and Technomancers) are only the most commonly found in the setting I am planning to run (Seattle in the mid to late 2060’s). There are those who practice non-traditional magic like Black Libraray Cultists, Blood Mages, Psychic study, etc. but generally these are going to be NPC only. 

Magic uses the basic Power System from SWAE Powers. There are four basic types of Magic using traditions in this setting – the '''''Adapt''''' (those that turn their magic inward to enhance their abilities and their body and mind), '''''Mages''''' (those spellcasters of the Hermetic or formal learning leaning), '''''Shamanic''''' (those casters of the more intuitive learning) and '''''Technomancers''''' (those who can connect with an enter the Matrix without equipment). Technomachers are covered under the Matrix later. The other three types of magic users are covered here.

Due to the nature of higher damage and armor in this setting, all Damaging Powers (Bolt, Burst, etc.) increase their damage die type by +1 step (i.e. 2d4 because 2d6; 2d6 becomes 2d8; 3d6 becomes 3d8; etc.) and the Smite Power increases the damage to +3 (+6 with a Raise). 

''NOTE that the Teleport and Summon Ally powers are not used in this setting. Summon Ally has been replaced by Summon Elemental or Spirit (see New Spells) and Sprits (see Technomancers).''

'''MAGICAL TRADITIONS'''</br>
[[File:SR.D5.caster.jpg | 300px | right]]
'''ADAPT''': A physical adapt is a magic user whose powers are turned inward. They range from mystic ninja-like assassin, gun-fu experts, sword saint masters, social chameleons and super-star athelics.
:'''Arcane Background (Gifted)'''
:'''Starting Power Points''': 15
:'''Starting Powers''': 1
:'''Skill''': Focus (Spirits)
:'''Power List''': Arcane Protection†, Astral Projection÷, Beast Friend, Boost Trait†/‡, Confusion≠, Darksight†, Deflection†, Detect/Conceal Arcana, Disguise†, Distant Strike÷, Drain Power Points≠, Empathy, Environmental Protection†, Farsight†, Healing†, Intangibility†, Invisibility†, Mind Link, Mind Reading≠, Mind Wipe≠, Object Reading, Protection†, Relief†, Speed†/‡, Slumber≠, Smite†, Speak Language†, Stun≠, Suggestion÷, Wall Walker†, Warrior's Gift†
::†These powers have the limitation - Range: Self automatically.
::‡These powers have the limitation - Aspect automatically.
::≠These powers have the limitation - Range: Touch automatically.
::÷ New Power, see description
''Note that the minimum Power Point cost is always 1 but if an Aspect would normally lowers the cost to zero, once per round the Adept can 'cast' such a power as a limited Free Action. This could allow activate the power without an Action. but only for one Power a round.''</br>

'''MAGE''': Also called Hermetic magic. Examples include Mages, Wizards, Hermetic Druids, Magi, Qabbalistic, Wu Jin, etc.: the scientific study of magic as a complex pattern of elemental forces that can be control with the correct formulae and rituals.
:'''Arcane Background (Magic)'''
:'''Starting Power Points''': 10
:'''Starting Powers''': 3
:'''Skill''': Spellcasting (Smarts)
:'''Power List''': Any.

'''SHAMAN''': Examples include Shamans, Asatur, Shinto Priest, Voodoo Hooungans or Manbos, Wuxing, etc.: magic comes from a shaman’s connection to the powers of nature and the spirits. These latter forces are magnifications of the living Earth. Shamans are guided and aided by her children, the spirits, often through totems.
:'''Arcane Background (Shaman)'''
:'''Starting Power Points''': 10
:'''Starting Powers''': 3
:'''Skill''': Faith (Spirits)
:'''Power List''': Any.

''Note that for Adapts and Shaman and Power that lists the Range as Smarts they use their Spirits trait instead (if the Adapts’ power allows it to be used at range).''

== NEW POWERS ==
'''ASTRAL PROJECTION'''
:'''Rank''': Novice
:'''Power Points''': 1
:'''Range''': Special
:'''Duration''': one Hour.
''Astral Projection'' allows a Mage or Shaman to project their spirting into the Astral Plane. While in astral space you can move through almost anything that does not have an astral signature. All living beings have an astral signature as does the Earth itself (Astral Beings can ‘push’ their way slowly through the Earth, at their Astral Pace per Hour). Wards and Astral Barriers can block astral beings from seeing through or passing through them (see Wards below). While traveling in Astral Space a being can move their Smarts or Spirits dice each round. With a “Run” action the caster can move at a Pace of 96 (around 400 MPH). Your spirit is completely intangible and invisible and cannot interact with the real world in any way but then nothing can hurt you while projecting not even other astral beings. While projecting you ignore Invisible and can see through the powers Disguise and Illusion and see the ‘true form’ of someone using Shapeshifter. This does mean that Astral Projectors can see each other they just can’t affect each other. While projecting you can read the “auras” of those you can see. This allows you to see if they have an Astral Background (vs. Conceal Arcana) and/or if they have any cybernetic implants (you can tell how much but not exactly the type, depending on what it is. So you could the target has cybernetic eyes but not what mods have been added). You can make a Notice check to determine the person’s mood, general health and tell if they are lying, etc.
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Astral Perception (+0)''': Instead of projecting one’s spirit into Astral Space a caster can instead simply peer into Astral Space with her eyes. This causes the caster to be Discarded (SWAE pg. 100) for the duration but it can affect things both in Astral Space and the Real World. An Adapt may only use the Astral Perception aspect of this power but they can active or deactivate it as a free action, once a round.

'''DISTANT STRIKE'''
:'''Rank''': Novice
:'''Power Points''': 1
:'''Range''': Spirits
:'''Duration''': 5
''Distant Strike'' allows and adapt to make a Fighting melee attack at range (up to his Spirits”). This acts as a ranged attack but uses the adept’s Fighting skill to hit against a targets range defense (generally 4 but can be affected as normal by cover, concealment, etc). All other aspects of the attack are as normal and can be combine with Powers like Smite.

'''JINX'''
:'''Rank''': Novice
:'''Power Points''': 2
:'''Range''': Smarts
:'''Duration''': 5
''Jinx'' causes any foe one foe within range that is making a direct action against your character—whether an attack, Test of Wills, or other action—suffers a mishap if his skill die is a natural 1, regardless of Wild Die. When this occurs, the foe’s weapon malfunctions, he slips and falls, a super villain’s power fails, and so on. The exact effect is up to the Game Master, but should usually cause the foe to miss his turn at the very least.
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Area of Effect (+2/+4)''': for an additional +2 power points the Jinx effects everyone within a Medium Burst Template. For +4 power points it effects everyone in a Large Burst Template.
:* '''Improved Jinx (+1)''': Foes suffer misfortune on a roll of 1 or 2 on their Trait die.

'''MALFUNCTION'''
:'''Rank''': Seasoned
:'''Power Points''': 3
:'''Range''': Smarts
:'''Duration''': Instant.
''Malfunction'' allows the character can cause technological devices to fail by picking a target within Smarts” and making a Spirit roll, minus the modifiers below. If successful, the device mal functions in some way. Simple to moderately complex devices just stop working. Complex devices lose a random sub system, determined by the Game Master. Particular sub-systems of complex devices can be selected as well. This incurs a further –2 penalty on the device. Causing a tank’s gun to malfunction, for example, is a total modifier of –6 (–4 for complex device, –2 for a subsystem). Basic casters modifier to casting checks is +0 for Simple devices (can opener, crossbow, etc.), -2 to Moderately complex devices (firearms, car transmitter, microwave ovens, etc.) and -4 for Complex devices (drones, shielded military technology, aircraft, highway autodrive highways, etc.)
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Area of Effect (+2)''': effects all devices within a Medium Burst Template.

'''REMOTE VIEWING'''
:'''Rank''': Seasoned
:'''Power Points''': 3+
:'''Range''': Smarts x100”
:'''Duration''': 5
''Remote Viewing'' allows a user to sense of people, places, and things outside of normal perception. Walls, doors and other barriers do not hamper remote viewing but Wards blocks it completely as do the Barrier and Conceal powers while the power is active. While it’s active, the user can shift the point of observation to anywhere within her Range as a free action. When using remote viewing, the caster chooses a single sense (usually sight) to project. For each additional 1 PP she spends at casting, she may add an additional sense.

'''SUGGESTION'''
:'''Rank''': Novice
:'''Power Points''': 2
:'''Range''': Smarts
:'''Duration''': Instant
''Suggestion'' allows you to make unbelievable suggestions that do not threaten the target. The target must make an opposed Spirits or Use the Force skill check. If you win the target believes your lie or follows your suggestion like it was his idea. You can also make a small illusion that distracts your target. With the same test you can make a Stealth check as if you were hidden by something against the target even if you are right in front of it. You can even make such a check and if you got a raise over the target’s check you have ‘the Drop’ on it until the end of your next action.
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Area Affect (+2/+4)''': You can force all targets within a Medium Burst Template to make a check to resist your power or for +4 power points you affect everyone in a Large Burst Template.

'''SUMMON ELEMENTAL/SPIRITS (SPRITE)'''
:'''Rank''': Seasoned
:'''Power Points''': 4+
:'''Range''': Smarts
:'''Duration''': 10
''Summon Elemental'' or ''Spirit'' (or ''Sprite'') allows the character to summon an Elemental or Spirit from astral space (or Sprites from the Matrix, see Technomancers). A Mage can summon either an Air, Earth, Fire or Water Elemental while the Shaman may summon an Air (called Sky), Earth (called Land), Water (called Lake or Sea or River) and a Beast Spirits (spirits and elementals are exactly the same just called different things). It materializes anywhere in Range and with a raise on the arcane skill check its’ has a level of Resilient as well. The elemental acts on its creator’s Action Card and follows her commands to the best of its abilities. It has no personality, creativity, or emotions. When the power ends or the ally is incapacitated, it fades into nothingness, leaving no trace behind. How powerful the elemental is depends on the rank of the caster. At Novice level she can summon a basic Elemental type listed in the Bestiary SWAE p. 182-3. The Beast Spirit is listed below. Note that all Elementals and Spirits are considered Hardy, Gain +2 to recover from Shaken and Stunned and take only ½ damage from Firearms. Summoning an Elemental or Spirit at higher Rank increases their abilities, etc. as listed.
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Greater Spirit (+2/+4)''': Too summon a greater Elemental or Spirit requires the caster be at least Veteran rank and its costs additional Power Points. For +2 Power Points (total 6) can summon a Greater Elemental or Spirits (see below). At Heroic rank and +4 Power Points (total 8) can summon a Superior Elemental or Spirit.

=== Spirits & Elementals ===
All spirits and Elementals are quicksilver fast. When Manifested physically they can take two actions a round (ignoring 2 penalties from Multi-Actions). </br>
Spirts and Elementals are also '''Duel-Naturer''' which means when they are manifesting phyically they still see into Astral Space at the same time. This is not Distracting for them and as such they can see anyone under the effects of a Power and ignore disgues, illusions and invisibility (as they see right through these affects) and can see the true forms of shapeshifters, etc. See Paracritters for more</br>

[[File:SR.D5.summon.jpg | 300px | right]]

== ADDITIONAL MODIFIERS FOR POWERS ==
These are additional Modifiers for the basic Powers found in SWAE and updated for Shadowrun's setting

[[File:SR.D5.Spells.jpg | 700px]]

'''BARRIER'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Astral Barrier (+0)''': the Barrier will only block astral being and spirts and other living beings, it has no effect on bullets or drones or vehicles or living beings fulling enclosed within them, exposed crew would be thrown off the vehicle if they try to pass through. The base duration of this power is 10 rounds instead of the normal 5.

'''DETECT/CONCEAL ARCANA'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Truesight (+2)''': Throughout the duration of this power the caster can ignore invisibility penalties and can see through illusions automatically.

'''ILLUSIONS'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Film Quality (+1)''': Cameras, security devices and microphones detect and record the illusion.
:* '''Obscure (+2/+4)''': The illusion may be used to darken or otherwise obscure vision. For 2 points, it inflicts a –2 penalty to all rolls dependent on vision made within. For 4 points, it inflicts a –6 penalty. The super is immune to his own illusions, but others (including allies) are not. This isn’t actual darkness, so low light and other types of vision enhancements don’t reduce the penalty.
:* '''System Shock (+2)''': The illusion may attack one target per level of the power each round. It automatically “hits” and each target affected must make a Smarts roll or be Shaken. A second Shaken result from an illusion doesn’t cause an actual wound, but those who roll a 1 on their Smarts die do suffer a wound from the shock to their system.

'''INTANGIBILITY'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Phase (2)''': The character can phase in long enough to take a single action (such as an attack) and immediately phase back out again. This requires a caster check to successfully phase in and phase back out (or vice-versa). An opponent can hit the character while solid by being on Hold and interrupting his action. This can only affect one attack per round and cost the caster 2 power point each time it is used.

'''SPEED'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Great Leaping (+1)''': Adapt Only. Throughout the duration of Speed, the adapt can also leap a base of 4” horizontal and 2” vertical (with a raise on initial Focus check change distances to 6” horizontal and 3” vertical.)

'''SMITE'''
:'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Decay''' (+2): Range Touch. This truly terrible aspect destroys matter. Each full round spent in contact with a substance destroys 10 pounds of matter. Harming living beings requires a Touch Attack. If successful, victims must make a Vigor roll or suffer a wound. Extremely thick clothing (up to Armor +1) absorbs a wound the first time the character is hit (unless circumvented via a Called Shot), and Armor +2 or more absorbs two. After that, the clothing or armor is effectively ruined.
:* '''Elemental Fist (+1)''': Adapts Only. Unarmed or Melee weapons only. This allows the adapt can stealth her fists or a melee weapon in an elemental trapping that deals an additional +2 damage of that trapping type.
:*'''Paralysis Touch (+2)''': Range Touch (Unarmed). Instead of dealing damage a successful Touch attack (+2 to attack roll) requires the target to make a Vigor check (-2 for every raise the caster achieved). If the victim fails the roll, he’s Incapacitated. On his following turns, the paralyzed victim makes a Vigor roll to revive. With a raise, he revives and may act normally. With success, he revives but is Shaken.

'''WARRIORS GIFT'''
:"'''Additional Modifiers'''
:* '''Combat Master (+1)''': Adapts Only. Throughout the duration the adapt also gains +1 to his Fighting and Shooting skills.

== WARDS AND MAGICAL BARRIERS ==
[[File:SR.D5.caster2.jpg | 400px | left]]
Anyone with an Arcane Background can erect magical wards and barriers. This requires material (see Magical Gear in GEAR) and time. Generally a caster can cover a 20 x 20 foot area with one hour of work for a temporary ward and a full days’ worth of work for a permanent ward. Temporary wards last for one day per Smarts or Spirits of the creator and Permanent last for one year. This has the Conceal Arcana effect in that area automatically without the caster having to know the power or cast it. It also blocks astral beings from normally seeing into or entering the area and blocks the Remote Viewing Power completely. The astral being can attempt to force their way in. This is an opposed Caster check and the creator automatically knows that someone is trying to break through astral space. The astral being can attempt to be subtle but suffers a -4 to his Caster check.

'''ASPECT AND BACKGROUND COUNT'''</br>
Pollution and locations of powerful emotional focuses (rock concerts or the site of mass murder) can cause an astral shadow, often called Background Count (negative) or Aspect (positive). These affects can affect astral space and even the casting of spells in normal space. The affects can last for days or even years depending on how powerful the original event was. This can cause disorientation to astral beings (spirits or projecting mages, etc.) with penalties from -1 to -8 (depending again on how powerful the event was) to all actions in Astral Space and as penalty to Spellcasting or Summoning in normal space.

Positive background count tends to make magic users act as if drunk or high, while negative background count tends to make the magic users feel uncomfortable or in pain. Both affect spellcasting and summoning tests the same way though (with a penalty).

== MENTOR SPIRITS ==
Any character with an Arcane Background may benefit from a Mentor Spirits. Mentor Spirits run a wide gambit of ideals and cultures. Adepts tend towards the more physical ideals like the Adversary or Fire-Bringer. Hermetic Mages often follow guidance from science or knowledge such as the Artificer or Sky Father. Shamanic caster tend to follow animal spirit guides like Bear and Wolf. These spirit guides tend to interact with the Shaman type on a more personal level than the others. Technomancers can also have a Mentor Spirit but these are beings of the Deep Matrix. See Technomancers (in the Matrix) for their choices.

Mentor Spirits grant the magic user certain benefits to skills and spells, the character may choice any two listed under each type. For example the Adversary grants +1 bonus to Fighting and Intimidate Skills, or +2 to casting the Boost/Lower Trait and Fear spells. A character who takes the Adversary can pick any TWO of these to gain bonuses to. Each Mentor also lists any Hindrances that the magic user must take as part of their listed ones. These reflect the ideals that the character was drawn to this Mentor or the Mentor was drawn to the character.

== MAGICAL FOCUS ==
Focuses are a unique form of Signature Gear and Equipment and can only be purchased with the Focus Edge. After character creation they must also be paid for with newyen/¥ (unless stolen from another caster) along with taking the Edge to ‘bond’ to the device. You cannpt take the Focus Edge more then a total of four times. Most focus can only be taken once but there are two exceptions - Weapon Foucs and Power Focus. These count towards the maximum number of times you can take the Focus edge. 

A Power Focus may not be combined with either the Spell Focus or Siphoning Focus. 

These are not the only kind of magical item but there are generally the only kind carried by characters. It takes a free action to activate or deactivate a Focus on the owner’s turn.

Magical Focus can be noticed from Astral Space; each Focus adds +1 to opponents using Astral Projection/Perception to Notice a subject that is trying to hide, reading their mood, etc.

[[File:SR.D5.Adept3.jpg | 300px | right]]
:'''Spell Focus''' (5,000¥): Gives a caster a +2 to Casting bonus to one specific spell. Most be chosen when the caster ‘binds’ the focus to themselves (buys the Edge).
:'''Siphoning Focus''' (7,500¥): Grants the user +10 Power Points. They points return independently of the caster at her basic speed (if she has the Rapid Recharge edge).
:'''Banishing Focus''' (6,000¥): Grants the caster the Banish power that can be used with any spirit, ghosts, etc. Also grants the caster -1 power point to cast and a +1 to his casting check if he has the Banish power.
:'''Sustaining Focus''' (6,000¥): A focus that will maintain any one spell a duration of one hour without costing the caster any power points. It takes 24 hours of recharge before the focus can be used again.
:'''Weapon Focus''' (Weapon cost +8,000¥): Must purchase a basic Melee Weapon (SWAE pg. 72). The focus then adds +1 to Fighting skill with it, increase the base Damage die by +1 step and increase the weapons AP by 2. This Edge can be taken twice to increase the bonuses to +2 with Fighting and adding +2 damage and increases the AP to 4. 
:'''Power Focus''' (10,000¥ per level): Gives the caster a +1 to all spells Casting test and adds +5 Power Points that the caster can draw on. These points return independently of the caster at the same rate as he regains his with rest. The Edge can be taken twice to increase the bonus for all castings checks to +2 and an additional +5 power points (10 points total).

== INITIATION ==

Initiation is a special knowledge and understanding by Awakened beings. Each time the arcane user takes the Edge Initiation they can choice one of the following special abilities…
:'''Adept Centering''' (Adept only): This Edge can be taken twice and is an automatic action. Each level allows the Adept to ignore one level of Fatigue penalties.
:'''Ally Spirit''' (Mage and Shaman only): You have conjured an ally spirit that is not have a duration but instead is there whenever you need it. This required a week long full concentration ritual on your part. The Spirit is a basic type you can summon and is a Wild Card (but not no benny of its own). For every 5 full raises you achieve your spirit grows in power. The first time it gain Greater Spirit abilities and the second time it gain Superior Spirit abilities. It will follow your instructions and is far more “sentient” that a normal spirit or element. It is not limited to a certain area around you and if it is banished or destroyed will reappear in 2d6 days.
:'''Attunement''' (Adapt only): As Beast Bound Edge. Allows a Para-Critter to bond with you.
:'''Centering''': This Edge can be taken more than once and it requires Pace of 0 to use. Each level reduces the cost of casting a spell by 1 (minimum 1).
:'''Channeling''': This Edge can be taken more than once and requires a Pace of 0 to use. Each level adds +1 to next casting/Power skill check.
:'''Flexible Signature''': This power can be used as a free action (automatically). The initiate can choose to alter her astral signature at will, disguising it so that it cannot be used to identify her, forging the signature of someone else or simply reducing the amount of time that it lasts. Whenever someone tries to read their signature minus the number of times the caster has taken any Initiation Edges (including the Flexible Signature edge) from their Notice.
:'''Masking''': This power can be used as a free action (automatically). This ability allows the initiate to appear to be a mundane, non-magical being. Whenever someone tries to look at their Astral Signature they must beat an opposed Spirit or Smarts Traits test to see through the mask. The masker gains a bonus of +1 for each Initiate Edge they have taken (including the Masking Edge). NOTE that there is no known way to mask a spell to look mundane, hence if an initiate is maintaining a spell he or she may appear mundane but the spell is still visible in Astral Space.
:'''Quickening''': This Edge requires a Pace of 0 to use at first but then is a free action to maintain. The caster can maintain a spell for up to one hour for no additional power point cost. The caster cannot use this ability again for 24 hours after the spell ends.

= CHAPTER THREE - THE MATRIX =
The wireless Matrix is made up of thousands of individual ‘Nodes’ (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 cyberware and comlink can receive automatic system updates from the corporate you purchased it from for software patches and upgrades, etc.

[[File:SR.D5.Matrux.jpg | 350px | left]]
Active Users can immerse themselves into this Augmented Reality (AR) wireless world to view and access the information there. This allows them to ‘see’ other AR uses basic information along with hundreds if not thousands of wireless ads and banners. This information is overlaid onto the uses field of vision but does not block it (although it can be overloaded with too much information in some high-spam traffic areas). In order to project ones conscious into the Matrix requires the Emersion ability (either with a Simsense rig or Datajack implant). To manipulate the Matrix requires the Hacking skill and Programs.

All computer systems and devices in this world have a Broadcast strength for how far out its basic radio signal is. If its within an greater Node network it can connect to the Matrix and thus pretty much anywhere in the world. A devices Firewall is the basic security of the device against hostile hacking. At its basic level is a penalty to any hostile or illegal action attempted against the device.

'''COMLINKS'''</br>
A comlink is basically an advanced personal computer, PDA and cellphone. When in 'active user' mode, anyone can see your basic display information in AR as is ‘projected’ out into the wireless world. They can contact you and project visual ads or banners to you. This is called an Active User mode and is how many SINers operate. 

In the world of Shadowrun this might not always be a good idea. You don't want Lone Star or mall security to know what you and your friends are talking about especially if you are discussing not-so-legal activities. Comlinks can operate on ‘hidden mode’ where they only talk to other comlinks that have given them permission and do not appear on others AR overlay. Of course this is illegal is certain higher security areas. For example, Lone Star does not allow anyone to operate their comlink in a hidden mode in most of the downtown core areas of Seattle. Most shopping centers and corporate locations also require anyone visiting to have their public information displayed at all times. This has the added benefit of restricting most homeless people and other ‘undesirables’ from these regions. Fake ID can overcome this security… if good enough (high enough ranking).
== MATRIX 101 ==
The Matrix is built upon millions of different broadcasting Nod Systems that create the virtual structures that act as a real structures to the Matrix Personas and users. A Host is the center of multiple Nod Systems that support an individual sites such as a Corporate Matrix site (think websites of old), Chat rooms, Data sharing sites, News broadcast sites, library sites, government agencies and public access sites, etc. But also illegal chat room, Shadow sites, Warzane sharing sites, etc.
 
'''COMMON TERMS'''</br>
Before we get into the rules, there are a few terms we use to describe various rules elements or technology. These terms are presented here so you can familiarize yourself with them before reading further.
:'''Active Users''': whenever anyone with a comlink that is on and broadcasting a signal, that person is an Active User. They are viewing the Matrix (generally via AR) and can see information (text, advertisements, other AR users, etc.) that is being broadcasted out via a Nodes. A user can operate in '''Hidden Moe''' where their data is keep private and the can only communicate with Nods that grant them permission. Their broadcast signal is still detectable but their information and conversions are private.
:'''AR''' (Augment Reality): With an active user comlink a user can view the world around her via AR which is often called an enhanced version of the real world which is achieved via digital visual elements, sounds or other sensory stimuli that is experienced. Often in commerical area with lots of advertising this can be ads tailored to an individuals but can also include basic data of other active users who are broadcasting that data out for all to see. See Emersion levels below. 
:'''Back-Door''': A back door is slang for a secret Access port that can bypass certain levels of a Network Host security. For example this could allow a decker to gain Access to a Tier IV security area without first bypassing or Accessing the lower Tier security areas and gets the deccker straight to the Network Host.  
:'''Closed Host''': A Host system that does not have access to the Matrix. This is often done by paranoid and ultra security minded corps or government agencies where they store their most secretive and sensative data. Often the case for where the real pay dirt might be located and why a Decker might follow a team when breaking into a physical site.
:'''Computer System''': A computer system is a term to describe anything with a microprocessor and wireless connectivity. A computer system might be a cyberarm, a comlink, a broadcasting Node, any kind of vehicle, drone or a security system; In 2060s the possibilities are endless. Basically, if it has a microprocessor, it can be hacked via the wireless signal it emits. Hacking a computer system also gives you direct access to any devices linked to the system. See Devices for more information.
:'''Counter Hacking''': Counter hacking is the process by which a person defends herself against an unwanted intrusion into a computer system or device. This is accomplished by making an opposed Hacking skill check (the person counter hacking gains their Firewall rating as a bonus to this check). You can attempt this roll untrained if you need to. The winner of the opposed roll is either booted from the system or remains logged in, as the case may be. If booted the hacker suffers a -2 to future hacking attempts against this computer system for the rest of the scene.
:'''Device''': A device is an object that is linked to a computer system in some way, much like your home printer, microphone or web camera that is connected to your computer or comlink (in to 2060s desktops are rare). Most devices are wirelessly linked to a computer, though some can be hardwired with cables or nano wires (especially with Cyberware for 'security reasons). Common devices are alarm systems of all types, door maglocks, security cameras and systems (like weapons), elevators and even items you can sync up with your comlink. Some devices can only be hacked by gaining access to the computer system to which they are linked, while others can be hacked directly. 
:'''Dumpshock''' and '''Logging Off''': when a decker is forced off the Matrix (not just booted from a systems) this can cause her to suffer Dumpshock (see Matrix Combat) as it is not very safe. A decker could suffer dumpshock also by unplugging his Persona from the Matrix as an Action but when using Cold or Hot EMersion, this is also dangerous and requires a Spirit check. A failures causes the decker to be Distracted and Vulnerable for 2d6 rounds (see SWADE pg. 100). Critical failure causes the decker to be Stunned for 1d6 rounds (SWADE pg. 106) and a Vigor check or suffer a Wound. To log off safely the decker must spend 1d4+1 Actions with Cold Emersion and 1d6+2 Actions with Hot Emersion.  
:'''Emersion''': When a decker uses Emersion to projecting their consciousness into the Matrix and experience it through a Persona the Matrix looks like a whole other world. Emersion requires a comlink and either a simsense rig (an electronic device that can transmit your brain signals from your brain into the Matrix and have that information transmitted back out into the Matrix) or a Datajack that allows a Decked to pulled directly into the Matrix network. See Emersion levels below for more details. 
:'''Hidden User''': Comlinks can be set on Hidden Mod, their info is not broadcast out to the world and in order to access their info etc. requires a. A simple Scan program check will still detect a hidden comlink as it is still broadcasting.
:'''Intrusion Countermeasures''' (or IC): Are Matrix constructs designed to detain and possibly kill deckers invading a network host. IC constructs range from benign Probe constructs that simply monitor activity to Trace programs that determine the location of an intruding decker to IC that can warp or physically damage the brain through lethal biofeedback.
:'''Network''': As the name implies, a computer network (or simply network) is a collection of computer systems which are linked together wirelessly. The stronger the network, the wider the area it covers. There are many types of networks in the world. Some are restricted to a single building or collection of buildings (like a hospital or your house). These are commonly known as Local Area Networks (LANS) while others—Wide Area Networks— cover entire cities or even geographic regions (like Europe). Some are satellite networks that comprise Global Area Networks (GANS) spanning the entire globe.
:'''Networks Hosts''' (or simply Hosts): Are the millions of individual agencies, corporations, small business, government agencies and local community computer systems that exist within this Matrix network. A company's system might include dozens, hundreds or (in the case of megacorps and lare agencies) thouses of interconnected Hosts with their own seperate data-files and security. It is for this reason Decker who want to break into a Host are looking for something in partical (even if its just something to steal).
:'''Node''': Is anything that is broadcasting a signal that others can interact with. Nodes can be anything from a host computer system, a device like a comlink, or Network, etc. 
:'''Persona''': In the Matrix when anyone is using Emersion (Cold or Hot) and whom are wanting to interact within the Matrix uses a Persona. The Persona has Matix attribute traits and skills that only exist in the Matrix but allow the users to interact within it. 
:'''Programs''': Matrix Programs are the structures and building blocks of the Matrix. They create everything one sees in the Matrix and how one interacts with it. Illegal programs used by Deckers allow them to modify or bypast the layers of security a Network Host might have installed, fight other decker's Personas or IC programs sent to stop these intruders, etc.

===Actions in the Matrix=== 
[[File:SR,DracoFound.jpg | right ]]
Too maybe make this a bit easier I am going to make most non-combat actions in the Matrix as being '''Dramatic Tasks''' (SWADE pg. 122). As I want to make your programs and powers worth in in these situations also I will have some notes as we go. 

These Dramatic Tast are split up into the following scenses "'''''Hacking a Device'''''" (Using programs and hacking to cause Tricks against foes), "'''''Searching the Matrix'''''" (finding what your looking for on the Matrix), "'''''Accessing Networks'''''" (hacking through multiple layers of security on the Matrix), "'''''Keeping Secrets'''''" (finding hidden data on the Matrix or Network Host site that someone wants to keep a secret) and "'''''The Dark Matrix'''''" (finding and using a 'dark' Matrix site where info can be provided by other deckers). 

For these types of Dramatic Tasks the GM first sets what the task is, how long the decker/party has to complete it, and how many 'tokens' they need for success. These are generally Single Person Task as a Team of Deckers is rather rare. Finally unlike normal Dramatic Tasks, many of these tests are Contested by Enemy Programs, Security Systems and/or hostile Personas.

Combat in the Matrix happens when the Decker trips up security and alerts Intrusion Countermeasures (IC), enemy Persona and Sprits that might face off against them. This is not a Dramatic Action. Instead see '''Matrix Combat''' below. 

====Hacking a Device====
To hack a device such as a comlink or cybernetic implant, the decker needs to make a Challenging Dramatic Task (4 successes tokens before the end of 3 rounds) with a Hacking contested skill check against the Comlink's Security Hacking skill. This is for any Active User in the decker's broadcast range. If the device is a Hidden User and the decker has located them with the Scan program, the Task requires 5 'tokens' before 3 rounds. 

Success allows the decker to impose either Distraction or Vulnerable (SWADE pg. 100) onto the target for 1d4 rounds. If the decker gained an extra token during the contest, she can impose both the Distracted and Vulnerable on the target for the same amount of time.

Failure causes the decker to suffer a Dumpshock as the device 'kicks her off the system'.

====Searching the Matrix====
So you want to find some juicy info on the Matrix. But what do you want to find? Searching for the Public Forum of a famous Simsense star or rocker, or the public press briefing of a Corporation or government agencies is fairly easy and does not require a roll or more than a round or two. But searching for even basic or general information on an individual or on finding some obscure public forum can be a difficult task as there is simply so much information out there these days that one has to shift through a mountain of data to get the answers you might seek. Seeking ultra-secure or illegal data is much more complex and dangerous. 

Basic data search like looking up a SIN registered comlink number, Low end not illegal datafiles, Traffic Cams, etc. is a CHALLENGING task requiring 2-5 tokens but with no time limit. This requires a Matrix Search skill (or ''Research'' skill but with an additional -1 or -2 to the check). The '''''Agents''''' program will add +1 per Rank to this Search test. The Power '''''Empathy''''' adds +2 to the Technomanchers skill roll. Complications are fairly safe and only incrase simply add Time. Base time for this searches double or thriple the base number of rounds. Complications increase this to 5 rounds per Action round.

Note that Searching the Matrix is generally just used for general data hosted on the Matrix. Corporate Files and Secrets are going to be hidden behind layers of Security. As such to gain such data one needs to Access a Network Host and search for Hidden Data (see below).

====Accessing Networks====
Anything above Basic Public information searches are '''Contested Dramatic Tasks'''. One must bypast or better the Security AI of a device or Network Hosts to access the information. Deckers must make a seperate Dramatic Task against each Teir of Security.

The GM determines where the data will be in the Network Host Matrix system.

Too search for Hidden or obscure data searches like private communications between low level wageslaves, corporate project plans, etc. Something semi-legal but private that others don't really want you to know about.

A Security System is really only there to monitor its Host, watching for code errors and intuders. Its function is to raise alarms when it detects a problem and/or try to boot hostile Personas or programs from its systems. It still draws Initiative cards and acts in the round as it tries to "fix" any problems that it might encounter.

Intrusion Countermeasures or IC (see below) is the more proactive attack-dog programs used to protect to system.

====Keeping Secrets====
As wireless information can be stolen with enough skill, effort and technology, a great deal of sensitive information may not be available via the Matrix but instead is hosted in isolated or Closed Network within an on-sight Network. It’s for this reason that a Decker must often accompany a team to the physical location to get access to the really good info.
====The Dark Matrix====
In the 2060's the Matrix has a number of illegal 'dark networks' sites where like-minded deckers and hackers (and a few technomanchers) hang out and exhange information. 

If one has the right contacts (Matrix Connected Edge or Contact with a Dark Matrix Decker) you might also access the various information available on the 'Dark Sites' (called Shadow Hosts in Shadowrun). Without a connections one might still find one, depending on how secreative and/or illegal the data they deal in is. This requires a Search Matrix skill check a -1 to -4 (or Research skill check but at an additional -2 skill penalty) Dramatic Task of 4 successes before 3 'rounds'. The rounds here last either 5 minutes up to one day depending again on how secrative and illegal the Shadow Host is. 

Once you have found one the deckers then needs to 'prove their not a narc' to the other users on the Shadow Host. With contacts this is a simple Persuasion check to ask about the info available (like other Contacts). If a decker is not connected in some way then... 



and 1d6 rounds. Depending on how obscure this search might be the GM might impose a -1 to -4 to the Skill check and/or add additional time (i.e. by multiple the base 1d6 rounds by extra dice or time like minutes or hours). Raise(s) provide additional information depending on what you are searching for and/or can cut down on the time required.


Also when a Decker gains Access to a Network Host site on the Matrix it does not mean that she has been granted all the information located there automatically. First off for even Moderate Corps there will be a mountain of files, reports, recordings, briefings, data, etc. within in the lowest Security Rating. 

A Decker just doing random searches to see what dig or data he might be able to find here should make a Search check (minus the Host's Firewall) spending 1d6 Actions per Tier of the Host. Success means he found interested data files that he might use, sell, steal, etc. Raises can give you additional or richer payday data filed. 

If the Decker knows what he is looking for, such as Specific data or a particual data file make the same roll as above but it only takes 1d4 rounds per the Host's security tier. With the Sniffer Program this drops to 1 Action per tier. Success finds the files, and raise might get additional related data-files, etc. 
   
Now, just because the Decker has been able to break into and gain Access to a private or secret Tier does not grant them all the data that could be found there. They still must use their Browse or Search Matrix skills or Scan and Sniffer Programs to seek out the specific information or systems that they want find. This data could be hidden in the Tier behind a data-lock or hidden host. So this can take time and the longer the decker is in the Tier the greater the chance they could be detected (just cause you have Acess does not mean that system is not on the lookout for such actives). 

First step is to seek out the data files. This requires a Browse or Search skill check (minus the Tier's Firewall) and 1d6 Actions times the Tier Firewall. I.e. a Orange Tier Host that is not on alert would imposse a -3 penalty to the Decker's Matrix skill or program and would take 3d6 rounds to located it (if the decker knows what he is looking for. Just random data search double the time required).

*'''Teir I''' (Green): Basic secure system common for basic devices, computer system, comlink, maglock, securty cameras, cybernetic system, drone or vehicle, and public forums (just so pranksters can't post offensive comments or change the basic data found here) and small stores and even vending machines. These systemss inclues no IC beyond maybe shutting down to prevent damage or thief. Tier I can take a single Action each round, generally to detect problems, raise an alarm or trying to Boot a hostile Persona.
*'''Tier II''' (Blue): Some additional security to protect private or personal data and systems to basic security against hackers looking to steal basic info or items that a Host might provide to the public or hack an well secured Rigged vehicles, etc. This Tier might include some low end 'White' IC programs like Tracers and Alarms that can alert great response. In a bigger corporation when a alert is sounded the Host might even increase the Firewall and dispatched more serious security. This can be expensive though and is uncommon except for larger corps or agencies. Tier II systems can ignore one Multi-Action penalty a round.
*'''Tier III''' (Orange): Security here will be protecting more secure information and/or personal data like low-level bank accounts, standard wageslave personal data (not upper management or off-the books employees) files or basic research papers on low end gear or programs. White IC is common at this Tier and depending on the size and wealth of the Host can increase the areas Firewall rating faster. Tier III system can ignore one Multi-Action penalty a round and draw two cards, taking the best for Initiative (as the Level Headed edge). 
*'''Tier IV''' (Red): Security at this level is for secret data and/or research on the Host. Generally this is where confidential corporate communication and basic data about the corps are stored.  These site also include Grey IC programs that are more serious attack programs. The data here could be embarashing or worth a lot as data other corps or agencies want like a bleeding edge program that can better sleazy past IC or the latest version of the Predator'a smartgun interface system, etc. Firewalls and alerts are fast as the system responses to intrudes here. Tier IV systems can ignore two Multi-Action penalties a round and draw two cards, taking the best for Initiative (as Level Headed edge).
*'''Tier V''' (Ultra): This level of security is only available to the megacorps or important agencies where they keep the most sensitive and important data secrets. This could be plans and sematics for a new missile system or AI program or for the conspiracy minded -- where the UFOs are keep and experimented on. Black IC is often used here and a decker had better be good and have the best bleed edge tech to survive long in such a system. Tier V systems can ignore two Multi-Action penalties a round and draw three cards, taking the best for Initiative (as Imp. Level Headed edge).

=== Intrusion Countermeasures (IC)===
Intrusion Countermeasures or IC are Matrix constructs designed to boot, detain and possibly kill deckers invading a computer host. IC constructs range from benign Probe constructs that simply monitor activity to Trace programs that determine the location of an intruding decker to IC that can warp or physically damage the brain through lethal biofeedback.

IC acts as hostile NPCs that draw initiative, make attacks, use programs and can take damage and be crashed itself (acting either as a Minion or a Wild Card). 

There are two features of the IC -- this 'type' (White, Grey or Black) and its Rankings level. The Host's Security Tier somewhat determines the IC's Ranking as lower Tier Hosts cannot handle the massive processing required for higher Ranking IC. Think of Types as how willing a IC is to kill you and Ranking as how danagerous it is in a fight (a White IC might be super dangerous to your Persona but not your meat body or cyberdeck).

'''Types of IC''': There are three broad categories of IC and some basic Stats that go with each Category
:'''White IC''' is only programmed to attack a decker's online Persona and cannot permanently damage the decker or his deck. 
:'''Grey IC''' is designed to specifically target the dekcer's cyberdeck and running programs which can result in permanent damage.
:'''Black IC''' is specifically progammed to attack the decker himself, creating dangerous biofeedback between the decker and his cyberdeck, possibly leading to permenent physical and psychological damage.

'''Rank''' and '''Grade''' are how dangerous the IC is, '''Stats''' is the die ranking for the IC's Smarts, Strength and Vigor Matrix attributes, '''Derived Stats''' are the IC's Matrix Parry and Toughness, '''Skills''' is the ICs die ranking in their Matrix skills -- Hacking, Electronics along with Browse, Search, Sneak and Trickery. '''Actions''' are how many Extra Actions the IC can take in a round, ignoring the Multi-Action penalties for such actions. Finally '''Basic Programs''' are the base line programs for the IC. These Programs work just like the Matrix Decker Programs (see below).
{| class="wikitable" border="0"
|-
| '''Rank''' || '''Grade''' || '''Stats''' || '''Derived Stats''' || '''Skills''' || '''Actions''' || '''Basic Programs'''
|-
| I || Low || d4 || Parry 4, Toughnes 4 || d4 || 1 || Hammer I
|-
| II || Base || d6 || Parry 5, Toughness 6 (1) || d6 || 2 || Armor I, Hammer II (Penetrating I)

|-
|}
Now depending on the Type of IC, the systems can have additional Programs as listed below...
:'''White IC Programs'''
: *'''Crippler''' - reduces the rating of a Persona Matrix Stats and/or Skills. The rating of this IC program is used as a bonus to its Contested Hacking skill check vs the Decker. A success lowers one Stat or Skill by one step. Each raise over the IC wins by lowers that stat or another (as the IC chose) by 1 step. These reduces last 5 + the Crippler rating of the systems rounds. A decker could reload a Stat or Skill by it takes 1d6 Actions for each step reloaded (a raise get additional step lost reloaded).  Average Rating I-IV, max rating X
: *'''Acid''' - This program can reduces the Toughness of a Persona. The rating of this IC program is used as a bonus to its Contested Hacking skill check vs the Decker. A success lowers the Persona's Toughness rating by one step. Each raise over the IC wins by lowers its Toughness by 1 additional step. These reduces last 5 + the Acid rating of the systems rounds. A decker could reload a Stat or Skill by it takes 1d6 Actions for each step reloaded (a raise get additional step lost reloaded).  Average Rating I-II, max rating V
: *'''Binder''' - This program can reduces a Persona's Parry score. The rating of this IC program is used as a bonus to its Contested Hacking skill check vs the Decker. A success lowers the Persona's Parry by one step. Each raise over the IC wins by lowers the Parry by an additional 1 step. These reduces last 5 + the Bindder rating of the systems rounds. A decker could reload a Stat or Skill by it takes 1d6 Actions for each step reloaded (a raise get additional step lost reloaded).  Average Rating I-II, max rating 
: *'''Sentry''' - Enhances an IC Browse and Search skills when activated. The rating adds a +1 to the IC Browse and Search score to stop hidden or spoofing Personas and to its Smarts when avoiding Trickery or such hostile programs. Average Rating I-III, max Rating VI
: *'''Tar baby''' - This program can hold an Persona in place, allowing the system time to trace and/or idenity her real identity. The rating of the program is a bonus to the IC's Strength score when attempting to seize the Persona. Works like Grappling (SWADE pg. 101), but that the IC itself does not need to 'grab' the Persona and can act otherwise normally. 
: *'''Tracer''' - This program works to locate a Deckers meat body. Could also gain personal data (SIN if the decker has one, etc.) with Raises on the check to find him. The rating is added to the IC's Search skill in a contested roll against Hacking (Ghosting and Spoofing could aid that decker as does his Firewall act as a bonus against this check). It takes 3d6+3 rounds minus the Rating of the Tracer Program (minimum 1 round). If the program fails it can make a new attempt if the Decker is still present in the Host. 
:'''Gray IC Programs'''
: *'''Acid Bomb''' - this program can cause permanent damage to a Persona's Matrix Attributes and Skills. This is done by corrupting and/or erasing the core core of the Persona at its sourse. This requires the Decker to try and repair it through re-writing it or by purchasing a new Persona (or the attributes and/or skills that were effected). 
: *'''Blaster''' - Works just like Grey Hammer rating I and II under the Matrix Decker Programs. It is used to damage the hardware of the decker's cyberdeck.
: *'''Ripper'''- Causes permanent damage to any Program that the persona is running. This is done through corrupting and erasing the code of the Program and requiring a decker to either repair it (by re-writing it, see Matrax Decker Programs) or purchasing a new version. 
:'''Black IC Programs
 
Cerebropathic - Non-lethal black IC
Black Hammer - Induces lethal biofeedback to the decker
Non-lethal - Designed to knockout the decker
Psychotropic - Conditions the mind of the decker to perform erratically
Cyberphobia - induces Matrix and simsense phobia
Frenzy - inspires maniacal rage
Judas - induces unconscious compulsion to betray
Positive Conditioning - inspires love of the company, prevents the character from acting against the company

=== Enemy Personas and Spyders ===
Corporates often hire their own Matrix secruty person to help monitor their Network and fight against hostile Personas (i.e. Deckers like you).

== EMERSION LEVEL WITHIN THE MATRIX ==
When a Decker logs onto the Matrix there are three levels of ‘emersion’ that one can use. Riggers do something similar but generally only access a vehicles system. Technomancers experience the Matrix the same way but can use any of the following emersion automatically without a computer or comlink. So long as they are within their broadcast range of a network.
* '''AR or Augmented Reality''' is the most basic level and most of society in the 2060’s involved in at least some level of AR with the comlinks transmitting and receiving data from all the Nodes and system around them every day. AR user or Decker reaction on his or her initiative card in the round. AR provides lots of additional levels of information that is not overly distracting, except when the Decker tries to interact with both ‘realities’ at the same time (for example, decking and combat in the real world at the same time). At these times the Decker is ‘Distracted’ (SWAE pg. 100). This is in addition to any Multi-Action penalties. You can use a Persona in AR in order to use programs etc., and it can take ‘Matrix damage’ as normal. Most AR browsers do not even have a stock persona and only allow character to use Persona Skills (except Scan).
* '''Cold Sim''' is the safest version of ‘emersion’ into the Matrix (requires a minimum of a Sim Emersion upgrade on a Comlink or a Datajack). The Decker leaves his meat-body back in the real-world as they send their consciousness into the Matrix. Generally the worst that can generally happen to the Decker is that they can be dumped off the Matrix forcibly (called Dumpshock), although some programs (like Grey Hammer) can deal harm to the comlink. Cold Sim grants one Extra Action in the Matrix (can ignore one Multi-Action penalty each round). Using a Simsense Rig (see gear) Cold Sim is the best emersion a person can use. 
* '''Hot Sim''' is the most dangerous (and illegal) version of emersion into the Matrix. This requires a Datajack (see Cyberware). With it the Decker uses her Emersion ability (from either cyberware or a comlink) in order to place their consciousness almost fully into the Matrix. Deckers have died while hacking this way while others suffered other adverse physical and psychological effects. Hot Sim grants two Extra Actions in the Matrix (ignore two Multi-Action penalties). In order to use this level of emersion requires a Datajack implant allowing for direct access to the users brain patters when interacting with that Matrix. A decker with a Datajack and the Emersence Comlink does not have to use Hot Sim all the time when in the Matrix. If she wishes to be safe she can dial it back to just using Cold Sim. 

''NOTE: that other Extra Action Enhancements such as magical Powers (like Quickness) or Cybernetics (Wired Reflexes) only help your reaction with AR. They have no effect on Cold or Hot Sim. Edges like Quick or Level-Headed help all for all types of initiative.''

== PERSONA ==
[[File:SR.D5.Persona.jpg | 300px | left]]
While “jacked” into the Matrix through a direct neural interface Emersion, the Decker projects her conscious into it and no longer have any meat-body Physical Traits (Agility, Strength and Vigor), nor can they use any skill tied to these Traits. Deckers and Wage-Programmers create unique Persona – an electric, Matrix version of whatever the Decker choices to look like (the Decker’s Avatar). At a very basic level a Persona cost of 500¥ with a Strength and Vigor Trait of D4 each (Agility is irrelevant in the Matrix). Each Trait can be Upgrades individually as listed below. The Decker must have a comlink or computer where the electronic version of this Persona is stored and can be uploaded onto the Matrix. Matrix Strength determines the basic number of Programs (see below) that the device can handle running at one time. Comlinks can handle ½ Matrix Strength in Programs while a Cyber-Deck and handle the full Matrix Strength in Programs running at one time. It takes an Action to drop and load a Program unless noted in the Program’s description.


Rank Cost (each traits must be purchased separately for both Strength and Vigor)
:D6 = 1,500¥ each
:D8 = 5,000¥ to each
:D10 = 15,000¥ to each
:D12 = 50,000¥ to each

A Decker’s Persona also has four basic skills – Browse (Matrix Notice), Search (Matrix Research), Sneak (Matrix Stealth), and Trickery (Matrix Persuasion/Deception). Each starts at a base D4 with the basic Persona built.
Rank Cost (each skill rank must be purchased separately for each skill)
:D6 = 500¥ each
:D8 = 1,000¥ to each
:D10 = 2,500¥ to each
:D12 = 5,000¥ to each

== MATRIX DECKER PROGRAMS ==
Deckers are illegal hackers on the Matrix and they often use a lot of illegal programs to help them acheive their goals. Many corps employ their own Deckers to act as counter-deckers as it where and protect their network. 

Most of the following programs are illegal (or at least require a license) and only work within the Matrix (except for the Scan Program which allows a device to detect the Broadcast signals of other devices and nodes in the 'meat world'). As range is meaningless in the Matrix all Area Effects can affects everything and everyone in the local system (or the Tier security area).
 
A Decker can attempt to write her own Programs or increase her Matrix Traits and or Skills instead of purchasing them. The same can be used to repair a Stat or Program damage 'permenantly'. The time and check are the same as follows.

It takes a base 20 hours of dedicated work per 2,000¥ to normally purchase it; not counting restricted or illegal price increase. A decker can normally devote 10 hours a day (14 with a Spirits check that if made works for a week). Those who require less sleep (due to drugs or cybernetics like a Sleep Regulator, etc.) can devote an additional 6 hours per day. At the end the Decker makes a ''Science'' skill check. Success grants the first rating or increase a Trait or Skill by +1 step. Failure wastes the time invested.

'''COMMON PROGRAMS'''
* '''Agents''' (Restricted) – creates a semi-autonomous programs that can do various takes. The basic Agent is a Minion and has a d6 in all of its Matrix Attributes (including a Smarts of a d6 and a Hacking of a d6) and a d6 in all Matrix skills. They are semi-independent AI that will follow orders and instructions but are not creative in any way themselves. Each Rank of Agent adds one additional Agent. Costs Rank x 2,500¥. Agent can aid in various tasks. They can have the following Common Decker Programs at the cost listed under the Program but the Decker must purhase these programs seperately for her Persona and for Agents -- Armor, Fortitude, Ghosting, Hammer, Scan, Shield, Sniffer, Spoof and Tracer.  
* '''Armor''' (Restricted) – provide Matrix protection like armor +1 per rating. Cost 200¥ x rating (max 10).
* '''Black Hammer''' (Illegal) – This illegal program not only can damage a Persona but also the meat body of the decker projecting into the Matrix. The decker’s body suffers ½ the damage the Persona would have taken minus the decker’s comlink Firewall rating. Compare this amount to the decker's unarmored (or cybered) Toughness rating to see if she would suffer Wounds. If the decker is using AR this program can have no effect on the meat body. If using Cold Sim these wounds are not lasting (heal one such Wound an Hour, +2 to Healing) and do not require rolling on the Injury Table (see Grity Damage under Setting Rules). If the Decker is running a Hot Sim then these wounds care lasting (heal as normal) and the roll on the Head Injury Table (SWADE pg. 95). Cost 30,000¥
[[File:SR.D5.Programs.jpg | right]] 
* '''Confusion''' (Restricted) – This program can cause an enemy Persona or Security AI or IC Programe to become Distracted and Vulnerable (SWADE pg. 100). This is contested Hacking skill check. Success and the opponent gains both conditions for 1d6 rounds. Every raise increase the duration by 1d6 rounds. Cost 2,500¥
* '''Corrupt''' (Restricted) – This program erodes IC or Persona’s traits (Matrix Attributes or Skills). This is a contested Hacking skill check. Success lowers one trait by 1 die step. Each raise lowers a trait (same or a different one) by another 1 die step. These reductions are lasting unless Repaired (requiring 1d6 Actions for each die step lost). Cost 5,000¥.
* '''Crash''' (Illegal) - This progame is used to chash a Host's Security Network. Doing so grants Access to the decker but the system will go on alert with 2d6 rounds (minus the Firewall rating, minimum one round). Make a contested Hacking skill check (the system gains its Firewall rating as a bonus to this check). If the decker wins the system crashes and she can Access the Host. Cost 10,000¥
* '''Data Bomb''' (Illegal) – This program destroys a data-files, generally taking one Action per file. Cost 2,000¥
* '''Erase''' (Illegal) – This program erodes and erases a Program run by a Persona or IC. This is a contest between the decker and target's Hacking skill. Success lowers the Programs rating by one and an additional one for every Raise the check is over the targets. Programs without ratings are Erased instantly. Those with a rating are Erased when the Programs Rating reaches 0. A Persona or IC can reload a Program erased in this way but it take 1d6+1 Actions per Rating (minimum 1) by the Persona or IC to do so. Cost 10,000¥.
* '''Exploit''' (Illegal) – This Program allows the decker to gain control over the Hosts Security system. This is a contested check of the Deckers Trickery Matrix skill and the Hosts Security System's Smarts stat. If the decker wins he gains Access to that Tier's AI and it will act friendly and helpful towards the decker as if he belongs there (note as normal the Security AI will still be running peroidic scans to look for intrudures and can still determine that the decker is there illegally and act accordingly; see Host Security above). Cost 10,000¥
* '''Fortitude''' (Restricted) – This program adds to your Persona’s Matrix Toughness. Each level adds +1 to a max rating of 5. Cost 2,000¥ rating I-III, cost 4,000¥ rating IV and V.
* '''Ghosting''' (Illegal) – the Decker’s persona is partially invisible to other programs and Personas. An the system’s or Persona’s Browse or Search along with Sniffer and Scan programs are at -2 per ranking. An undetected Persona has Access to the Security Tier but as with other programes the AI will still be running the occational scans to detect such intuders in its system and will act if it detects that decker. Cost rank I: 5,000¥; rank II: 12,500¥; or rank III: 25,000¥
* '''Glue''' (Restricted) – This program can ensnares an IC oe Persona in place such that it cannot move out of the Hosts system where it was located. The IC and/or Personal also act as if Grapped (see Grappling on SWADE pg. 101). A decker may jack-out and there by shut her Persona off to escape from the host but this causes the decker to e Distracted and Vulnerable for 1d6 rounds as she suffers from Dump Shock (see Matrax Combat below). It also means that any progress the decker made into the Security Tiers are lost and she must start over. Cost 5,000¥
* '''Grey Hammer''' (Restricted) – this semi-legal attack program can damage the target's Comlink. Any damage the Persona inflicts on a target with the Hammer program also compare part (or all) of that damage to the Comlink's Hardness. This can cause Wounds to the Comlink are with other objects also compare the damage to the target’s hardware Hardness plus Firewall rating plus Firewall. This causes wounds are normal to the Comlink (a Wild Card’s comlink or hardware can take three wounds as normal. Use the worst of the Wound Penalty of the Persona or Comlink for penalties in the Matrix, Fourth wound auto crashes the Persona and the Comlink if brioken and in serious need of repair). Cost 5,000¥ Rating I inflections ½ damage to the Comlink directly. Cost 20,000¥ for Rating II and inflicts the full amount against the comlink.
* '''Hammer''' (Restricted) – This program increase the Persona’s Strength damage by the rating. Rating I: Str+1d4, Cost 500¥; Rating II: Str+d6, Cost 1,500¥; Rating III: Str+d8, Cost 4,000¥; Rating IV: Str+d10, Cost 8,000¥; Rating V: Str+d12, Cost 15,000¥. Can add upgrades of Penetrator – Reduces Armor Program by its rating. Cost 200¥ x Rating (max 10).
* '''Jammer''' (Illegal) – This program causes a system to not be able to communicate with its host system or others Persona's or IC. This is a contested Matrix Trickery skill check vs. the targets Trickery, Smarts or Hacking skill. Success by the decker blocks all communication by the target, thus it cannot raise alarms etc. The basic duration of this program is 5 rounds. Cost 5,000¥
* '''Medic''' – This program can heal Matrix wounds to its Persona. The decker makes an Electronics skill check, minus any wound penalties and the systems Firewall rating. Success heals a wound, a raise two wounds. This program can only be used a number of times equal to its rating before requiring it to be reloaded (which normally takes a number of actions of 1d6 rounds x rating). Cost 1,000¥ x rating for levels I-III; costs 2,000¥ x rating for levels IV-VI; costs 5,000¥ x rating for levels VII-X.
* '''Passkey''' (Illegal) – This program grants a decker a bonus to Matrix Trickery skill to overcoming a Data-Lock, allowing him to bypass the security protocols faster and with less danger of alerting security. Each rating adds +1 to his Trickery skill check against a Data-Lock. Cost 500¥ x rating for levels I-V; 1,000¥ x rating for levels VI-X.
* '''Scan''' – This legal program allows anyone with a Comlink to find nodes and wireless devices while in the real world. The Range equals to the system's Broadcast range. Requires only a basic success with a Matrix Search skill check (or Electronics or Hacking skill checks but at -2 penalty). A success by the decker allows her to know where all broadcast signals within her range are, so for example the location and numbers of an enemy team (if they have their comlinks on, even if in hidden mode), etc. With a Raise the program gathers additional information like the weapon types being carried, cybernetic systems, etc. Cost 2,000¥
* '''Shield''' (Restricted) – This program adds to the Persona’s Matrix Parry Score. Each rating adds +1 to this Score. Cost 2,000¥ x rating, I-III.
* '''Sniffer''' (Restricted) – This program is used to search a system for data-locks and cases or to find hidden data stores. It can be used to detect a Persona hidden under a Ghosting or Spoof program. Each ranking grants +1 to the Persona’s Browse and Search Matrix skills. Cost 1,000¥ x rating for levels I-V; 3,000¥ x rating for levels VI-X.
* '''Spoof''' (Illegal) – This program disguises the Persona to make it appear that it belongs where it normally does not. Each level grants the user a +1 to his Trickery Matrix Skill opposed by the systems AI Smarts or Browes. Success by the Decker allows him Access to this level's Tier Security (but as always the host systems is still running scan to find intuders). Cost rank I-IV x 2,500¥; rank V-VII x 7,500¥; or rank VIII-X x 25,000¥.
* '''Tactical Display''' (Restricted) - This program allows the Decker to use Scan to find enemy comlinks within his own range and as an Action share that information with his allies via their AR. Once that has been set up the decker does not need to spend an Action to continue the display. 2,500¥
* '''Tracer''' (Restricted) – This program uses your Persona’s Search Matrix skill to try and locate the physical location of another Persona almost anywhere on Earth. As an Action make an Search check opposed by the target’s Hacking skill roll plus her Firewall (if running Ghost program that counts as a penalty to the Tracer check while Spoof adds to the enemy's opposed check to try and hide), after 2d6+2 rounds. Success locates the target’s physical location to within a block, with a raise within a few feet and reduces the time to 1d6+1 rounds. The decker could log off and/or jack out to try and avoid the Tracer. Cost 10,000¥.

''NOTE – these are only the basic programs. You can create others system but remember range has no Matrix effect. Any Area effect will affect everything you can ‘see’ within the Local Host System''

== MATRIX COMBAT ==
A Decker's Persona can engage another hostile Persona (be it a rival decker or wageslave employed by a corp or agencies) and IC in Matrix combat. A security system AI generally can only be crashed or fooled into thinking you belong there. They are not 'faught' as it where.

As Persona can move around in the Matrix at near light speed (after all you are just code) Range is irrelevant. All combat is assumed to be ‘hand-to-hand’ just for the sake of easy of play. Attack rolls to hit in the Matrix are determined using your Hacking skills minus any Firewall within a System (but not from comlinks, etc.). This penalty only applies to hostile hackers and not a system Program or IC or personas recognized in their own Host system (if a Decker successfully Spoofs or Sneaks into a system he does not suffer this penalty either). A Decker’s Persona Strength deals base damage (plus Hammer Program). Persona Vigor to determine the Decker’s Matrix Toughness (2 + ½ Matrix Vigor die). Armor that a Decker’s meat-body is wearing doesn’t count, nor does Dermal Planting or Brawny or Size. A Persona’s Parry score is equal to 2 + ½ Hacking skill. Edges like Parry do not add to this score nor does Dodge aid in the Matrix. Call Shots are irrelevant in the Matrix. Wild Cards Personas have 3 Wounds, Extras as normal.

When a Persona takes damage it affects its Matrix skills and traits, etc. just as normal (penalties for wounds). If you are in a Cold-Sim and your Persona takes enough damage to be incapacitated (‘Crash your Persona’), you are forced out of the Matrix and back to the real world in a most unpleasant way… often referred to as '''Dumpshock'''. You are automatically Stunned for 2d6 rounds, and then can recover as normal. When running in Hot-Sim and your Persona is incapacitated your meat body suffers a Wound on a failed Vigor test (you can soak this as normal). A critical failure causes you to be Stunned for 2d6 minutes.

== RIGGERS ==
Riggers control and operate a numbers vehicles, drones and/or security systems using of '''Vehicle Rig Control''' (VRC) cyberware. All vehicles that are to be controlled must be within her Broadcast range and have the Vehicle Rig upgrade although a Rigger can jack directly into a vehicle via a VCR and Vehicle Rig. This has the added bonuses of granting the Rigger the Interface-Remote Control bonuses to all skills (see Cyberware). A Rigger with a VCR can control a maximum number of such vehicles or systems equal to ½ her Smarts die. With just AR a rigger can control these devices but without the Interface-Remote Control skill bonuses (and using the drone’s skill to make all skill checks with. Remember they are not Wild Cards). Riggers can also use Cold or Hot Emersion. With Emersion they gain the skill bonus and each vehicle or device they control directly and these devices counts as a Wild Card. They can ignore one Multi-Action penalty with Cold Sim and two Multi-Action penalties with Hot Sim emersion.

The Rigger can suffer from Dumpshock or physical damage when a drone or vehicle they are directly controlling is destroyed just like when a Persona is destroyed (see Matrix Combat).
If the rigger is controlling a vehicle, drone or system, they gain the ''Interface-Remote Control'' skill bonuses of +2 to Boating, Drive, Fighting, Notice, Pilot, and +1 to Shooting. A vehicles operator suffers a Multi-Action Penalty when controlling (Boating, Drive, or Pilot) skill check and attacking (Shooting) skill check with the same round. The Combat Ace edge eliminates this penalty.

[[File:SR.D5.Rigger2.jpg | 700px]]

Riggers use all basic Matrix Skills that a Decker does (and the VCR cybernetic implant includes all at a base rating of D4 each) but its Programs that it can run are limited to Confuse*, Crash*, Exploit*, Ghosting*, Jammer*, Scan, Spoof* and Search (*can only be used vehicles, drones or security systems). They run these through the VRC and don’t require additional computer hardware to do so. These programs are purchased the same way as with Deckers.
Drones can extend the range when using Scan and Search to find hidden comlinks, nods, electronic devices, drones, etc. In this way a Rigger can act as something of a team’s ‘Overwatch’ lookout. 

How does the Rigger do this? The VRC Implant allows a Rigger to track her drones via a victual display. With the Scan program added she can detect enemy comlink and drone signals and project that display to her allies comlinks via AR (sharing this info is a free action for her). At the same time they can be running Spoof to hide their own vehicles and team member’s comlinks from hostile Riggers and Deckers. A Decker could do this also with a Tactical Display program (see Programs above).

A special type of Rigger employed by many Corps is called a '''Sypder'''. They control a building or corporate area’s surveillance and threat response equipment (Automated Systems; things like alarms, fire suppression systems and of course pop-out wall guns and gas release systems). In these cases, each ‘system’ that the Sypder is in control of counts as a vehicle or drones for the limit to the number of devices he can control remotely. Different remote controlled guns would count as a vehicles, drones, etc. while camera systems don’t. Instead they act as the Spyder’s eyes and ears. Spyder’s often use the same Matrix Programs as Riggers plus Armor and Hammer.

A Rigger (or Decker/Technomancer) can try and forcibly take control of an enemy drone, a vehicle or Sypder system with an Opposed Hacking skill check (or in the device is on remote service then a basic Hacking success). The attacking hacker must be within his Broadcast radius. The attack suffers a penalty of twice the devices Firewall rating. The hacker must devote his full attention to this action for the duration that he wish to control the enemy’s device.

== TECHNOMANCERS ==
As the Sixth World has advanced with return of magic that surprised the world 50 years ago, a new wonder has made an appearance – the Technomancers; those who can access the wireless Matrix with only the power of their minds.
:'''Arcane Background (Technomancer)'''
:'''Starting Power Points''': 10
:'''Starting Powers''' (Called Living Programs): 3
:'''Skill''': Hacking (Smarts)
:'''Power List''': Any (However Summon Ally works differently in this setting, see below).

OTHER BASIC ABILITIES
:'''Wireless Access''': Technomancers can somehow access the wireless Matrix without the benefit of a computer or comlink; they simply can sense and access it as if they did. This allows them to use any Emersion level within the Matrix. They also create something they call a Living Persona within the Matrix without any hardware to back it up beside their mind. They can natural access AR, Cold and Hot Sim.
:'''Natural Signal Strength and Firewall''': Technomancers automatically have the Broadcast ability of 50” (100 yards) with the following modifiers (at no additional cost) – Firewall 1 and the Emersion enhancement and basic Interface abilities.

'''LIVING PERSONA AND PROGRAMS'''</br>
The Technomancer start with something called a ''Living Persona''. This grants the Technomancer all the benefits of a comlink and datajack without requiring one. When emerged into the Matrix their Persona’s Strength Trait is equal to their Smarts die and their Vitality Traits is equal to Spirits (Matrix Toughness is equal to 2 + ½ Spirits). Technomancer also uses their Hacking as their Fighting skill with Matrix Parry (2 + ½ Hacking). The Technomancer starts with all of the Matrix Skills. Her Browse and Search skill are equal to her Smarts die and her Sneak and Trickery are equal to her Spirits die. 

A Technomancers’ Living Persona ‘Powers’ works just like a Magic Users spells but only within the Matrix and only effect Matrix Hosts, Programs, IC and other Personas. A Technomancer uses her Hacking skill to ‘cast’ these spells and they cost the same Power Points as listed.

Note that a Technomancer can run any number of powers at the same that as they wish to 'maintain'. They are not limited by their Matrix Strength as normal Deckers.

As with other Magic Users, a Technomancer gains two power with the New Powers edge. In order to raise her Matrix Attribute Traits or Matrix Skills an Advance grants them 2 points for Matrix Attributes or 4 points for Matrix Skills. These skills are not tied to attributes but the max is d12.

'''POWERS IN THE MATRIX'''</br>
The Technomancer uses Powers in the Matrix as a magic user uses them to cast spells in the ‘real world’. Programs, Hosts and IC all count as creatures that can be affected by Powers like ''mind reading'' or ''object reading'' or ''puppet''. Range is meaningless in the Matrix and so any range listed for a power is ignored. Area Effect powers will effect the entire Device or Host area irregardless of the Burst size. There are a few powers that don't really work in the Matrix as there are no equivelent targets. For example ''animal friend'' is hard to use as there are very few free spirt like entities that might count as an animal in the Matrix.

Technomanchers are vulnerable to Grey and Black Hammer attacks as their minds are exposed directly to the Matrix. However the Powers ''arcane protections'' and ''protections'' acts as 'Toughness' verses these attacks (normally arcane protection only protects against other Technomancers Powers and Sprite attacks).

There are two Powers that need special attention for how they work in the Matrix…</br>
:'''Astral Projections''': this power works in the Matrix like the real world(?) for mages. The Technomancher can move through most Nods security unseens and only other Technomanchers and Sprits can somewhat interact with them. However they cannot see or understand the cdes and icons that they view from these 'Realm'. Everything looks cold and fuzzy although they might get some emotions off personal or important datafiles, etc.
:'''Banish''': this power works against Sprites but also a systems IC but against them the power only has a Duration of 5 (as the system can reload the IC program back onto the Host site).
:'''Summon Sprite''': a Technomancer that takes the Summon Sprits Power can summon up these constructs (?) from the deep Matrix. They act in all ways as elementals and spirits. These Sprites work exactly like Summoned Elemental power except for their traits powers and abilities as listed below. Note that none of the Sprits have Agility score or Pace listed as movement is irrelevant in the Matrix as everything is moving at near light speed.
:'''Teleport''': a base success allows you to bypass a Security Host to move into the next level or an adjacent Host area. A raise allows you to skip or bypass two tiers.


TYPES OF SPRITES</br>

'''Anubis''': is thought to be one of the first A.I. created in a lab somewhere in Asia that escaped his creators and now resided in the Deep Matrix zones. Anubis embodies freedom and chaos.
:'''Advantages''' (chose any two of the following): +2 to Stealth and/or Taunt and/or +2 to casting Invisibility and/or Havoc powers.

The Sprite is a basic type you can summon and is a Wild Card (but not no benny of its own). For every 5 full raises you achieve your spirit grows in power. The first time it gain Greater Sprite abilities and the second time it gain Superior Sprite abilities. It will follow your instructions and is far more “sentient” that a normal spirit or element. It is not limited to a certain area around you and if it is banished or destroyed will reappear in 2d6 days.
:'''Alter Signature''': This power can be used as a free action (automatically). The Technomancer can choose to alter her Matrix signature at will, disguising it so that it cannot be used to identify her, forging the signature of someone else or simply reducing the amount of time that it lasts. Whenever someone tries to read their signature minus the number of times the caster has taken any Initiation Edges (including the Alter Signature edge) from their Notice. This Resonance edge also grants the Technomancer as the Disguise power when attempting to appear like it belongs within the Host as an approved user.
:'''Coding''': This Edge can be taken more than once. Each level adds +1 to next Hacking check when casting a Power (only).
:'''Erase Image''': This Edge allows the Technomancer to erase any traces of his passing within a Host and also the Tracer Program.

= CHAPTER FOUR – IMPLANTS =
[[File:SR.D5.Fighter2.jpg | 250px | right]]
Cyberware and Bioware must be purchased with cash (the cost listed below does not normally include Surgery and recovery costs). Both have the following qualifiers…
:1. Cyberware and Bioware cost Strain as found in the SFC (pg. 29 but ½ Trait die for Strain Stat; i.e. d6 both Spirits and Vigor means max Strain 3.0) which has an adverse effect on the casting of spells by the user but also acts as a penalty for helpful spells casts on them (see Sorcery). Add all systems Strain cost together to get the final Essence Cost. 
:2. Cultured Bioware can be ‘grown’ for a specific individual and when grafted into that person only costs 50% the base Stain (round to the nearest 0.1) and increase the Bioware cost by 60%.
:3. Alphaware cybernetics are next generation technology and not as invasive into the recipient’s psyche. Reduce the Strain cost by 80% (round to the nearest 0.1) and increase the cost by 50%. Betaware reduces the Strain cost by 50% (round to the nearest 0.1) and increases the cost by 100%.
:4. Cyberware and Bioware can be Detected by modern scanners and sensors, and with Aura Reading (Astral Projection/Duel-Nature). Can be blocked by implanted neural interface disruptors.
:5. Cyberware automatically has built-in RFID tags to receive patches and software updates. Most runners and security personal have these function turn off (often illegal for civilians).
:6. You cannot stack any abilities with any other similar ability from any another source (i.e. Wired Reflexes grants a Multi-Action as does the Spell Speed-Quickness or Edges like Quick and Bioware implant of Reaction Enhancer. They do not stack, take the better of the two.)

= CHAPTER FIVE - GEAR AND EQUIPMENT =
When you wish to purchase gear generally it starts with finding someone who sells what you want to buy. Generally for most gear you can find a place to buy it nearby with 1d6 minute search. For restricted and harder to get gear may require a Contact or the Connected edge to find a seller with a Networking check (-2 to -4 for Illegal or Military). With a basic success they spend 2d6 hours for Restricted gear or 2d6 days for Illegal or Military gear. Restricted equipment cost 20-50% more while Illegal hardware or Military grade items cost 100% to 200% more.

= CHAPTER SIX – VEHICLES AND DRONES =
Vehicles and Drones are using a heavily modified version of the system found originally in the Science Fiction Companion. I kind of re-built everything and using the ideas from SWAE vehicles to add me so. 

All 'modern' (2060's) have the following installed automatically (included in the vehicle's price already): Basic Alarm System (Opposed vehicle's ''Notice'' d10 against ‘carjacker’ Thievery or alarm is set off. Can be a loud or silent and includes informing the owner wirelessly), Broadcast 50” and Firewall 1. To increase a vehicles Broadcast to 1,000" (2,000 yards) costs +500¥. Adding a Satellite Uplink costs +500¥. Improved Firewalls cost +1,000¥ for rating 2 or +5,000¥ for rating 3

Vehicles that are large size or greater have extra Wounds as large sized creatures (see table on Beastiary Size, SWAE pg. 179)

Vehicles with Automated Control can follow very simply commands to drive that way, go to this destination, etc. depending on the 'Skills' it processes. 

And finally, Trolls take up 2 passenger spaces (or crew but still count only as one) 

BASIC CHASSIS </br>
The basic Chassis and Size of a vehicle determines its basic speed, handling, mods (upgrades) it can hold, etc.

== DRONES ==
Drones are built as Robots from the SFC pg. 37 with the following changed: Base cost 5,000¥, Modifiers 8 and they are not Sentient (just advanced AI software). This also means that Drones use Skills normally and do not have to purchase separate systems for automated control, etc. They do however use Boating, Drive or Piloting, instead of Athletics, for such skill checks. They have a normal Pace (-1 per size penalty), Parry, Toughness. 

Drones are '''''Construct''''' (+2 to recover from being Shaken; does not breathe; immune to poison and disease; ignores one level of wound penalties) and have '''''Environmental Weakness (Electricity)''''' (Drones suffer +2 damage from electrical attacks).

Drones use the Mods as found in vehicles but any drone smaller then Size 1 reduce cost by ½ for most specialized systems. Drone aircraft use the basics for helicoper (call rotor), jet, prop and VTOL systems but halve the base top speed and the Speed increase of each additional 'Mod'. Other drone movement are treated as 'walking' with a basic Pace as follows - Hover 8, Tracked 4, Watercraft 6 (and Amphibious and Sumersables as normal, half or one-quarter).  

Drones are always Extras, except when a Rigger is jacked-in and directly controlling it. All drones automatically come with the following systems (at no cost or mods): Basic Alarm System (Opposed Notice d10 vs. Stealth of hacker or alarm sounded), Broadcast 100”, Firewall 1, and Rigger Upgrade.

Depending on the Drone's Smarts score determines how well it can operate independently (on auto-pilot). Drones will responed to its owners commands, be they verbal or wirelessly to the best of their abilities. GM has finally say.

All drones are also considered at least ‘Restricted’ type of gear (Military also listed).

= CHAPTER SEVEN – HIDEOUTS and LIFESTYLES =
'''HIDEOUTS'''</br>
Shadowrunners are often in need of a safe house or base of operation. These might include both short or long term residence and/or bases. To make things easy assume a one bedroom flat is around Size 5, an one bedroom middle class apartment around 7, a small two or three bedroom apartment or home around 10, nicer two story or mid-sized garage 12 and a old warehouse around 15+. To purchase a hideout cost 10,000¥ +2,000¥ x Size. Renting such a place averages 1/20 the price to buy per week! (“Hey that’s pretty expensive!” Yes well as the saying goes “Life an’t fair chummer”).

The location of a base can have an effect, as being in the Barrens is generally going to reduce the cost by ½. Other Features might include an alarm system, security personal (or just the local gang on lookout), etc. Prices can vary wildly depending on location and need.


'''LIFESTYLE'''</br>
Characters are not always running or committing crimes. In between runs, most spend a lot of time at ‘home’, sleeping, eating, watching their favorite vid, etc.
* '''Squatter''': You are almost living on the streets. You rent a small, single room cube/coffin where you can store some stuff without it being stolen when your back is turned. You probably have to share a kitchen and bathroom (in seperate rooms you hope) with you fellow cube-dwellers. You eat only the most basic soy- or tofu products with no food flavoring substitute. 250¥/month. Characters suffer a -1 to all trait tests against Hazards (SWAE pg. 125). 
* '''Low''': You crash in a basic studio apartment, with a kitchenette and small bath unit, maybe even with an actual maglock to secure the door. You probably have a basic tridvid set up linked to your comlink for entertainment. You still eating soy and tofu food produces but now with some simple flavoring substitute so you can almost pretend the food is real. 1,000¥/month.
* '''Middle''': You have a one or two bedroom apartment, maybe with a separate kitchen area and maybe even a real shower that you can use every day. Your trid set up is better linked in and the food you eat has better flavoring substitute and you can occasionally offer some of the real stuff! 5,000¥/month. Characters living at this level for at least a month gain one additional Benny an adventure (not session but the whole adventure). 
* '''High''': About the best a runner will probably have. You have a nicer condo in a fairly secure area. Your food is mostly real with some soy and tofu add-on’s. 10,000¥/month. Character living at this level for at least a month gain a bonus of +1 to all trait tests again Hazards (SWAE pg. 125) and a extra Benny per session!

The following are some Minions that heroes might face in an adventure. Wild Cards should be rare in most cases so keep that in mind. Of course this is Shadowrun... the heroes are going to run into Exceptional opponents maybe more in a standard Savage World game.

Note that the following have no Meta-Variant type applied to them. Add those features to their totals for special members.

<u>'''GANGER'''</u></br>
A low end thug or street muscle, These can range from protectors of their community to hard core criminals who would rob their own grandmothers without much thought. Now they are not always hostile and can also gain some pretty good intel from on locate issues etc.</br>

The Barghest is a large Awakened canine (one of several Awakened canine species) found in the northern regions of North America, Asia and Europe. Distinctive features include sharply pointed ears, a protruding spine, glowing eyes and teeth. They often resemble oversized mastiffs, with short fur and either pure white or pure black color. Its eyes and teeth seem to glow due to a certain luminescent bacteria that resides in is mucous membranes.

Barghests are nocturnal pack animals, frequently travelling in groups of a dozen or more, who herd their prey (usually large mammals) by howling. During breeding season, it tends to hunt alone or in a breeding pair. A barghest howl can induce fear and, in some cases, a catatonic state in its victim.

The marticore (Martichoras hastae) resembles the same creatures of myth. It has a leonine body that grows to a length of 3 meters and weigt around 400 kg. It has a leonine body with long tawny fur and a wide mouth with multiple rows of teeth, similar to a shark. From the tip of its tail are a bunch of spines, similar to a porcupine, except that these barbed spines are venomous. They sport two bat like wings and while it should be impossible for such a large creature to fly as with dragons and other paracritters it can due to their natural magic like Powers.

They are most commonly found around the Meditrainian and Black Sea regions of Europe and the northern mountainous regions of India and Pakastan.
