===Summary===

The Red Vory are a criminal syndicate, originally rising out of prison gangs during the Soviet Union. Nowadays, they've grown a bit from their roots. The "Red" Vory operates out of Russia and the former Soviet states, and is deeply entangled with the government of the Russian Federation. As a result, they have a deep "in" with the State's manufacturing interests, and have a top-grade pipeline for arms, armor, and pharmaceuticals, which they sell to fund most of their operations.

In the current day, those operations are divided into two sides - the Avtoritet and the Vor - with each side taking control of different operations. The Avtoritet handle big-picture, strategic moves, as well as cons targeting proper businesses and similar, while the Vor provide muscle, handle extortion rackets, affiliate gangs, and other "street crime."

They are not to be confused with the White Vory, who spawned from them but broke off due to philosophical differences. While the two groups were initially deeply hateful of each other, this has simmered down to mere dislike, and they often do business with each other, the Red Vory fencing off military and civilian arms, high-grade drugs, and forced bunraku dolls for resale and use globally.

ShadowHaven Rules Interpretations

2017-12-02T02:38:56Z

VoroSR:

== Purpose ==

This is a wiki page collecting all interpretations rendered by the Mechanics team where there are multiple possible readings. It is, as of the time of this posting, an experiment by Mechanics team as an alternative to ShadowNET style reddit threads for similar concerns. It may or may not remain in this format.

This is not an alternative to the Player Rules, which should include all house rules - those things that deviate from RAW and likely involved the full breadth of Council. Instead, this is the place for those little things.

'''''Questions by the community may be posed in the Mechanics Threads on /r/shadowhavenBBS''''' The Mechanics Team, under Voro, will formulate a response, then post it to both this page and the reddit comment. While nominally no question is too small, some questions may not be deemed important enough by Mechanics team to make it over to this page. Categorization is a work in progress, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

==Magic==

===The Astral Plane===

* Martial Arts do not function in any capacity on the Astral Plane.

===Spells and Spellcasting===

* Ritual Spell Formulae will have the availability and cost of Combat Spell Formulae.

* Spellblades will use the 'Spellblade' skill specialization which may be applied to either Clubs or Blades (or both.) Note the normal rules on skill specializations. Neither Powerblade nor Manablade will bypass armor entirely, however, they will both have AP equal to the hits on the spellcasting test, not to exceed half the force. This is not a mechanical limit that can be bypassed by Pushing the Limit with edge, or with reagents. This is subject to change at a future date, but will likely become more permissive, not less, if that occurs.

===Magical Objects===

* Magical Lodges will have no direct impact on the background count of an area during downtime. If it is in-run, I suggest GMs have the background count of the area covered by a lodge be 1 for every 4 full points of force it possesses, with the points being aligned to the tradition of the lodge. The GM, however, has ultimate say. They are not active during downtime to avoid certain possible shenanigans with how background counts work.

===Mentor Spirits===

* '''''Regarding Oracle''''' - Adepts, Magicians, Aspected Magicians, and Mysads following Oracle both may and must take the Divination art and the Augury and Sortilege ritual for the next initiation if they do not already possess it. Adepts and Mystic Adepts without the Magician's Way, as well as any Aspected Conjurers or Aspected Enchanters may still use the Augury and Sortilege ritual, completing the ritual with a straight Magic check (rolling their Magic attribute only in d6) instead of Ritual Spellcasting + Magic, and interpreting the answer to the Question with an Arcana + Logic check. Mystic Adepts who are not locked out of Sorcery and who are following the Magician's Way, and any Magician or Aspected Sorcerer, will use Ritual Spellcasting to complete the ritual as per the usual rules. As usual, the Augury and Sortilege ritual is highly dependent on factors that are not actually within the GM's control, and I encourage you to be cautious even in the face of a seemingly definitive answer. The future is, after all, very tricky. If a character who does not have Ritual Spellcasting is no longer following Oracle, they may not make use of these rules in order to utilize Augury and Sortilege. They are only available to those who stick with Oracle's Gifts.

* The Chaos Mentor spirit allows one to take two levels of Improved Potential in the same limit. You are still limited to 3 total ranks. This is an exception to the normal rules relating to Improved Potential

==The Matrix==

===Technomancers===

* The Editor Complex Form does not trigger data bombs, nor is it blocked by encryption on a file.

==Skills==

* Nerve Strike is a valid skill specialization for Unarmed. Incidentally, so are "Shock Gloves" and "Knucks." Note the normal rules regarding specializations

==Gear==

===Drugs===

* Chemical Glands may not take the Gradual Release option.

* Permitted drugs for use in Chemical Glands are:
** All drugs in the Core Rulebook are permitted. BTLs, as noted below, are not permitted.
** All drugs in Chrome Flesh, with the following exceptions, are permitted: Cereprax, Hurlg, K-10, Nightwatch, NoPaint, Sober Time, and Soothsayer.
** All drugs in Boston Lockdown are permitted, with the following exception: Numb.
** No magical compounds, awakened drugs, or BTLs are permitted under any circumstance.
** No contact vector only drugs are permitted under any circumstance.

* Pretty much every entry a drug has will cause an overdose. Init dice and init score are distinct, but high pain tolerance and limit changes both overlap with themselves (not each other!) and cause overdose. If there are more specific questions, contact Mechanics Team.

===Containers and Inventory===

* Only one weapon may be fitted into any given holster. However, it does not have to be a firearm. It simply must be the appropriate size. In this case, you can put a singular knife into a quickdraw holster.

==Specific Books==

===Run And Gun===

* The PPP Vitals kit cannot stack with armor vests and armor jackets of most varieties. Ultimately, it is up to GM fiat, however, as I do not wish to have to maintain a comprehensive list. That said, both the Wild Hunt and the Big Game Hunter would definitely not stack with PPP Vitals.

===Hard Targets===

* Synthskin masks provide bonus dice to disguise tests - this bonus is equal to the successes on a single Software + Logic [Rating] test. In this case, one cannot use edge or other means to get around the limit - it is a hard limitation of the equipment. If you are using a biometric scan of someone's face, you may take another +2, for the purposes of duplicating that face only. In the absence of a proper disguise test, the pool of bonus dice should be rolled on their own, simply for wearing the mask. In any case, the face it is mimicing and the bonus dice a mask provides should be noted on your sheet, and remember that they cannot be changed.

Player Rules

2017-12-02T02:30:29Z

VoroSR: /* Gear */

= Creating a Character =

== Overview ==

Priority and Sum-To-Ten are the permitted character generation types.

Some players ''may'' earn a character slot that can use Prime Character Generation rules as reward for future charity events. Prime Character Generation is compatible with Sum-to-Ten.

Exotic characters like Metasapients and Infected are allowed but experience playing other things first is heavily recommended.

Certain qualities like Amnesia are allowed but have a lower priority to get approved due to the extra burden on the chargen staff.

Players are allotted 3 character slots. They may buy a 4th for 20 [[GMP]], a 5th for 40 [[GMP]], a 6th for 80 [[GMP]] and so on. When doing this, post a comment to your r/Shadowhavenchargen post with a tag /u/jre2 and /u/Nitsuj83 with how much GMP you spent. Extralife prime slots are exempt from this limit.

Players may purchase prime gen character slots at the cost of 100 [[GMP]] for their first purchase. Any additional slots cost an additional 100 [[GMP]] which is cumulative.

'''(ex.)'''
* 1st PG Character Slot - 100 [[GMP]]
* 2nd PG Character Slot - 200 [[GMP]]
* 3rd Character Slot - 300 [[GMP]], etc...

Prime Generation slots purchased through our charity events are exempt from this cumulative price. You must always mark on your characters wiki page the source of the prime gen whether that is something like our extra life events or if it was purchased.

== Attributes at Character Generation ==

You can only have 1 starting attribute at one that is unaugmented unless your backstory fits having more lower. Generally, having multiple attributes at 1 leads to a poor gameplay experience and quick death of player characters. As such, the CharGen team will lead you away from the choice unless your backstory is exceptional. Sheets with this status will take more time to process.

== Skill Specializations ==

You may purchase a specialization with skill points even if the rank (or ranks) in the skill were purchased with karma.

== Lifestyle Location Advisement ==

If your character's primary lifestyle is located outside of the city the mission takes place in and you lack a rail pass that is connected to the mission city, you will likely incur transportation fees and fatigue before runs, at GM discretion. The cost of a plane ticket between two cities is half the distance between the two cities in kilometers plus 100 nuyen.

((Todo, add cities connected via rail))

== Initiations ==

Initiations are not permitted at chargen.

=== Attributes ===
Increasing an Attribute takes a number of weeks equal to the new Attribute Rating minus the Metatype Minimum.

=== Combined Training ===
Attributes and skills can be trained simultaneously, whether doing multiple skills (as per LOG/2) or skill groups.

=== Qualities Post Character Generation ===

Players are allowed to purchase positive qualities outside of character generation. However, you must either get approval from your GM if you want to buy one on or after a run, or you can submit a request in the most recent downtime rolling thread and tag any of the current council members for approval. GM's and Council reserve the right to deny a quality if it doesn't appear to make sense for the character or what they did to achieve it, however GM's are highly encouraged to work with players to come to an arrangement.

=== Day Job ===
To represent the effect of Day Job, a multiplier is applied to required time for all downtime activites, such as skill or attribute training, learning martial arts, and intitations.

No change is made to income.

== Contacts ==
The default is for players to choose their contacts from the already made public contacts. We additionally allow, as an option for the die hards, to create and stat out your own contact. [[Contact_Rules|Shadowgrid uses a custom contact system you can read about here]].

Note: If you create your own contact you can temporarily not stat it out right away at the penalty of not being able to use it. If the GM asks/lets you use it anyway, the assumed dice pool for their primary skill is <code>Skill = Connection * 2 + 2</code>.

==Infected==

We allow Ghouls, Vampires, Gnawers and Banshees on ShadowHaven. PCs are not sterile, so your teammates may be extra cautious around you.

==Metatypes==

AI are not permitted for PC use.

== Banned Qualities ==

The following qualities are not permitted for characters to have:

* Amnesia: Neural Deletion

* Better to be Feared than Loved

* Dead Emotion

* Dracoform (Any)

* Friends in High Places

* Human Lifespan (Page 188, The Complete Trog): Having a human lifespan can be done for free as a fluff decision.

* Hung Out to Dry

* Illusionist (Page 37, Forbidden Arcana)

* In Debt

* Immunization

* Latent Dracomorphosis

* One of Them

* Pregnant

* Puppet Master (Page 39, Forbidden Arcana)

* Revels in Murder

* So Jacked Up

* SURGE I and SURGE II

* Tough and Targeted

== Playtest Qualities ==
This quality is approved, but with the understanding it may be removed after 1 to 3 months of testing. Refunds will be addressed should the feature need to be removed. We ask players and GMs to write their experiences with this quality in the Topics for Discussion so it may be studied.

* Death Dealer

* Pacifist Adept

* Shock Mage

* Stalwart Ally

* Taboo Transformer

== Altered Qualities ==
* '''Adept Healer''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Adept Healer does not function on drain damage.
** Damage transferred by this ability will count as drain, and as such, cannot be transferred by further instances of this power, or healed by anything other than rest.

* '''Amnesia: Surface Loss'''
** You are allowed to take this however you should be aware that since chargen has to create your knowledge skills for you as well as creating a backstory, that these character submissions can take longer than normal. While the chargen department should do everything within their power to make the backstory and knowledge skills reflect the rest of the character that has been created that it is ultimately up to the chargen department to pick these so you may not necessarily like what you end up with. The quality works as written in every other way, if a knowledge skill you have on the list is brought up in a run you can spend 2 karma to learn an additional rank and unlock the knowledge skill for later use as well. Backstory can only be discovered as part of a public or private run and the GM has more or less free reign to edit in your backstory as they see fit.

* '''Animal Familiar''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Animal Familiar requires you to purchase the animal as normal, then perform the Animal Handling + Charisma [Social] (12, 1 week) test as outlined in attune animal, to function.
** As stated in the RAW, this does not apply to Awakened animals.

* '''Alchemical Bombmaker''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alchemical Bombmaker is limited to a number of increases in drain equal to your alchemy skill rating divided by 4, rounded down: Once at rating 4, twice at rating 8, three times at rating 12.)
** Can only be used with combat spell preparations.

* '''Alchemical Armorer''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alchemical Armorer is required to learn the Alter Ballistics (p51) preparation. It has no other effect.

* '''Apt Pupil''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** Apt Pupil applies Alchemy, Arcana, Artificing, Assensing, Astral Combat, Banishing, Binding, Counterspelling, Disenchanting, Ritual Spellcasting, Spellcasting, Summoning and to raising Magic Rating itsel.f
** It applies to the following knowledge skills: Magical Theory, Magical Threats, Magic Traditions, Magical Groups, Magical background, (Appraising of) Magical Goods, Manasphere Studies, Astral Topography, Talismongering, Thaumaturgy and Arcano-Archaeology. More may be added to this list by requesting approval from the Council.
** This will not work with skillsofts, knowsofts, and Demara.

* '''Arcane Bodyguard''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** As per page 48 of the Core Rules, "A Note on Rounding", round the dice you can use on yourself up

* '''Arcane Improviser''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** Requires 4 spells (not preps) from each category, excluding rituals.
** Does not allow you to perform rituals you don't know, nor does it allow you to make preparations that you do not know, or fulfill requirements related to knowing spells.
** The 1/week limitation will be altered to 1/run for ease/simplicity of bookkeeping
** You must meet all the prerequisites to cast the spell, or otherwise be able to learn the spell (meaning no banned spells, and no spells that you wouldn't be able to take otherwise.)

* '''Archivist''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will only work with the following knowledge skills: Magical Theory, Magical Threats, Magic Traditions, Magical Groups, Magical background, (Appraising of) Magical Goods, Manasphere Studies, Astral Topography, Talismongering, Thaumaturgy and Arcano-Archaeology. More may be added to this list by requesting approval from the Council.

* '''Astral Bouncer''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will only identity the following positive qualities: Home Ground (Astral Acclimation), Spirit Champion, Spirit Whisperer, Spirit Affinity, Mentor Spirit, Witness My Hate, Astral Chameleon, Elemental Focus, Focused Concentration, All Adept Ways, Magic Resistance, Arcane Arrester, Astral Hazing and all Mastery Qualities.
** This will only identity the following negative qualities: Astral beacon, Code of Honor: Harmony with Nature: The Shaman’s Code, Spirit Bane, Spirit Pariah, Reduced (Astral Sight)
** In addition a to Initiate Grade and Adept Powers, Astral Bouncer determines a certain ''Metamagic'' from an Initiate Grade, not an Initiate Power.
** Edge can not be determined.
** Physical and mental attributes can not be determined.
** It is up to GM Discretion which aspects get revealed.

* '''Barehanded Adept''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will not work with a spell learned with adept spell
** These spells will not work on yourself. Further, the target must be attacked.
** This will only work with the following spells: Corrode [Object], Death Touch, Knockout, One Less [Metatype/Species], Punch, Ram [Object], Shatter, Shattershield, Thought Recognition, Decrease [Attibute], Decrease Inherent Limits, Decrease Reflexes, Dehydrate, Detox, Enabler, Forced Defense, Nauseate, Prophylaxis, Stabilize, Intoxication, Mind Probe

* '''Black Forest Native'' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** You do not require this quality to be from The Black Forest

* '''Chain Breaker''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** New spirit types are restricted to UMT spirits (Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Man, Beast, Guardian, Task, Plant, Guidance)

* '''Chosen Follower''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** The following options are removed from the list of benefits: ‘Learn two spells or rituals.’ & ‘Improve a magical active skill from rank 1 to rank 3.'

* '''Community Connection''' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Dark Ally''' (Page 35, Forbidden Arcana)
** Only spirits that are not toxic or blood related which PCs normally have access to can be chosen.

* '''Death Dealer''' (Page 35, Forbidden Arcana)
** Note that the maximum bonus from this quality to melee damage is +1, regardless of the rating of the quality, as per RAW.

* '''Dedicated Conjurer''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** New spirit types are restricted to UMT spirits (Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Man, Beast, Guardian, Task, Plant, Guidance)

* '''Dependent'''
** Some addictions are better suited with the Dependent quality, and thus we recommend its use instead for alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, video games etc. Speak to your Chargen Minion to see if the Dependents or Addiction quality applies.

* '''Durable Preparations''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
** Durable Preparations stacks with Practiced Alchemist (p39, FA), effectively changing the duration before a prep begins to degrade to (Potency x 6) hours.

* '''Elemental Master''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
** Elemental Master will only work with the natural elements; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. Electricity is not a valid choice.
** Elemental Master does not apply to damage received from drain.

* '''Dual-Natured Defender''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
**Dual-Natured Defender is a free action to activate, and free action to deactivate.
**Dual-Natured Defender only functions on your innate dual natured quality, such as that from being infected. Any other sources of Dual Natured, such as Channeling a Spirit, or being in an Astral Rift, are unaffected, and do not qualify you for the quality.
**The duration of having this quality active rounds up to the next minute for purposes of determining how long it can be used for before losing magic, essentially making it so that it is always used in one-minute chunks.
**Rather than simply cease Astral Perception, Dual-Natured Defender will temporarily cause you to not count as a Dual Natured being while active.

* '''Lightning Reflexes''' (Page 148, Run Faster)
** Works with astral and matrix initiative. This is provisional

* '''Missile Deflector''' (Page 38, Forbidden Arcana)
** Missile Deflector requires a successful Missile Parry (p310. CRB) interrupt, followed by the Counterstrike Adept Power (p170, SG) interrupt, for a total of -10 initiative to use. Rather than the normal effects of the Counterstrike Adept Power, when this ability is used, it will allow you to make a normal simple action thrown weapon attack against any valid target, with all appropriate modifiers, using the object you have caught.

* '''Nasty Trog''' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Pacifist Adept''' (Page 39, Forbidden Arcana)
** The Notoriety restriction on Pacifist Adept is removed, due to the possibility of gaining Notoriety via peaceful means such as refusing to do a job when you realize it involves murder, or similar.

* '''Restricted Gear'''
** May not be used to get Deltaware or Milspec armor.

* '''Revenant Adept''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** If used, note the date used on your character's wiki page along with a link to the run where it was used on.
** Revenant Adept works until it's cleared all the damage that Regeneration can clear, you've died, or the run ends. This means that having one box of drain does not allow you to have Regeneration indefinitely.
** Revenant Adept does not take an action, even a reaction, to trigger. It can be used while unconscious or in physical overflow. This can be done in reaction to an attack, and the user does not need to be aware, in character, to do this.

* '''Shock Mage''' (Page. 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** “Electricity based skill” shall be at least 1 Electricity Based Spell including [Electricity] Grenade, Ball Lighting, Lighting Bolt, Interference and Pulse.

* '''Spell Jammer''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Spell Jammer is not affected by Mana Barriers, but is affected by background counts.

* '''Spirit Hunter''' (Page. 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Spirit Hunter will cancel any sustained powers, and prevents the use of any active powers, with the exception of Materialization.

* '''Skinwalker''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** The pelt for a mundane creature will cost 50% of the price of purchasing the critter itself, and has an availability equal to that of the critter. Prices and availabilities can be found at [[Animal Availability]].

* '''Spectral Warden''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Binding replaces summoning for the initial summoning tests made by a Spectral Warden, but they must bind the spirit immediately after summoning, the spirit cannot be used for any other purposes before they are bound.

* '''Sprawl Tamer''' (Page 41, Forbidden Arcana)
** Sprawl Tamer interacts additively with our existing [http://www.shadowhaven.info/wiki/Player_Rules#Critter_Tricks house rules] (Effectively adds another +1 modifier to the number of tricks a critter can learn.)

* '''Trog Traitor''' (Page 189, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Vexcraft''' (Page 42, Forbidden Arcana)
** Suppress focus is a simple action, and can be used from either the astral or physical, if you have line of sight on an active focus.
** Grounding focus is a complex action, and can be used from either the astral or physical, but requires both the focus to be eligible to target, and the owner to be eligible to target. This means you can only use this ability to damage a dual natured, or purely astral target, if you yourself are astral, for example.
** Counterspelling does not apply to the defence test, but power foci do, as does the force of any mana-barriers between the caster and the defender.

* '''Worship Leader''' (Page 42, Forbidden Arcana)
** The GM has final say on if enough people can be gathered. Regarding group contacts, organized crime groups and gangs tend not to worship. One must have the Rank quality in any religious order.

== Altered Spells ==
* '''Comet''' (Page 50, Forbidden Arcana)
** Comet does not ignore armour specific elemental resistances (Specifically, fire resistance.)

* '''Altered Ballistics''' (Page 51, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alter Ballistics can also be used on arrows & bolts, as well as bullets, but not area of effect explosives such as rockets or grenades, or other “ballistic” weapons such as darts, thrown weapons, or tasers.
** Alter Ballistics requires Alchemical Armorer to learn, and can only be made into a preparation, not cast as a spell.

== Play Test Spirits ==

These spirits may be removed or modified after 1 to 3 months of testing. Refunds will be addressed should the feature need to be removed. We ask players and GMs to write their experiences with this quality in the Topics for Discussion so it may be studied.

* '''Wild Spirits''' (Page 177, Forbidden Arcana)
** Details about the Spirit and the Status must be documented on the wiki. Player does not have any say in the powers or force.

* '''Vehicle Spirits''' (Page 180, Forbidden Arcana)

* '''Mentor's Mask''' (Page 182, Forbidden Arcana)
** The negative affect to Magician abilities from a Mentor’s Mask will make it possible to detect sustained spells with numinous perception, due to their mentor’s mask manifesting.
** Mystic Adepts, if they take a Mentor’s Mask, get the type of Mask bonus dependent on the bonus they receive from their Mentor Spirit (IE: If they took the Adept bonus from their Mentor Spirit, they get the Adept Mask, and if they took the Magician bonus from their Mentor Spirit, they get the Magician Mask.) The negative effect of a mentor’s mask applies to all aspects of their magic usage that have a force (Both their adept powers, and magician abilities.)
** The choice to have a Mentor’s Mask is made when a character acquires a Mentor Spirit. If they later switch Mentor Spirits, they get to make the choice again. If, for any reason, they lose their Mentor Spirit, they no longer have the advantage, or disadvantage, of a Mentor’s Mask.
** You may obtain or remove your Mentor’s Mask by paying 20 karma without ‘losing’ your Mentor. (Effectively buying off the Mentor, then buying it again.)

==Custom Items and Mechanics==

=== Repairing Vehicle Damage and Vehicle Destruction ===

It will cost 5% of the vehicle's total cost to heal all boxes instead of the repair cost listed in the book. It will cost 5% to rebuild your drone/car after filling all boxes and totaling your vehicle. Your vehicle may be rebuilt if you can recover it. In some cases, a gm can rule a vehicle unrecoverable (lava, explosives, sinking to the bottom of the sea) in which can you can burn edge to recover your unrecoverable vehicle.

=== Techno Errata ===

The Fade Values for Complex Forms is -3 from their printed values.

There is also a priority table change (P. 65, core. - Priority Table) for Technomancers, change the number of Complex Forms in each row as follows:

* Priority A: Increase from 5 Complex Forms to 7 Complex Forms.

* Priority B: Increase from 2 Complex Forms to 4 Complex Forms.

* Priority C: Increase from 1 Complex Forms to 3 Complex Forms.

In the Magic or Resonance column in the priority table (P. 65, core. - Priority Table) for Technomancers, change the number and type of skills in each row as follows:

* Priority A: Change from 'two Rating 5 Resonance skills' to 'three Rating 5 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

* Priority B: Change from 'two Rating 4 Resonance skills' to 'three Rating 4 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

* Priority C: Change from none to 'three Rating 2 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

The Cost for Submersions are 10+(grade x 3) Karma.

=== Critter Tricks ===

All animals are able to learn LOGx2 tricks, with domesticated animals able to learn LOGx3.

=== Health and Edge Between Runs ===

Your PC will fully recover health and edge between runs unless the GM tells you the run occurs in the same pocket universe as the previous run.

=== WFTM / WFTP ===

After a run you may convert karma into Nuyen (Working For the Man), or vice versa (Working For the People) at a ratio of 2000nY to 1 karma. This can be done up to 5 times per run. For example, your initial rewards for a run are 7 Karma and 10,000nY. You Work For the Man, converting 5 karma into 10,000nY, making your final rewards 2 Karma and 20,000nY.

In any case, you must document this on the page for the run in the rewards section. If you have a quality that taxes income, apply to tax to the initial amount you earn.

===Burner SINs===

Players may buy burner sins and associated licenses at the same availability, but with 20% of the cost. These SINs expire after 1 week and may not leave the session they were bought in. They may have rating 1 through 6.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item Name
! Availability

|-
| Burner Fake SIN (Rating 1-6)
| (Rating*3)F
| Rating*500 nuyen
|-
| Burner Fake License (Rating 1-6)
| (Rating*3)F
| Rating*40 nuyen
|}

===Deltaware Acquisition===

The council has decided to expand the scope of the favors that certain factions can extend to include acquisition a piece of deltaware. As per Cutting Aces page 160, two faction reputation may be spent to attempt to acquire Deltaware by rolling the PC’s negotiation. Alternatively, player may use one of their contacts who is associated with a valid faction.

Should the oppose negotiation vs. availability roll result in success, the PC must spend an additional three points of Faction Reputation (as per RAW) and the nuyen to acquire the ware. Successes can be 'banked' until the additional three Reputation Points are acquired, but two is required to merely roll.

The following faction are valid factions for deltaware acquisition:

* Universal Omnitech
* Zion Amalgamated
* Spinrad
* Proteus AG
* Ares
* Aztechnology
* Evo
* MCT
* NeoNet
* Renraku
* Saeder-Krupp
* Shiawase

When acquiring Deltaware in this fashion, please list the piece of Deltaware and Faction you got it from on your PC’s wikipage.

==Optional Rules In Effect==

* Mentor's Mask (Forbidden Arcana, Page 182). See clarification in the [[Player_Rules#Altered_Mechanics|Altered Mechanics]] section.

== Gear ==
Gear at or under Availability 12 can be purchased without rolling or paying a Finder's Fee. However, the item will take its full delivery time (As though you got one net hit on the negotiation test). You may still roll for such items if desired.

You cannot purchase Mil-Spec armor without a private run.

You can't purchase items with availability above 19, unless it is upgradable (ie, has a rating). You also may not acquire deltaware of any availability. The exception to this is:

* You can't purchase Foci over Availability 19, even though they are otherwise upgradable and have a rating.

* You may acquire deltaware via the [[#Deltaware_Acquisition| linked house rule.]]

==Upgrades==

You can upgrade (paying only the difference in cost) anything that has a rating. If the gear also has a quality or grade (like Cyberware), there is an additional 25% fee for upgrading.

== Banned Lifestyle Options ==

Hotel California (Page 226, Run Faster)

== Misc. Lifestyle Rules ==

Runners may share residences but when it comes to lifestyle costs every runner must pay the full 100% of their lifestyle costs. Lifestyles are not simply just an apartment but they factor many other things into it as well from food, entertainment, and other essentials. So while we allow people to room with other runners you will receive no discount.

==Traveler Lifestyle (Page 218, Run Faster) ==

When you pay rent or at character generation, roll on this table to see what options your Traveler lifestyle gets. If you have an idea for this table, feel free to send it to Leadership.

Player Rules

2017-12-02T02:30:02Z

VoroSR: /* Gear */

= Creating a Character =

== Overview ==

Priority and Sum-To-Ten are the permitted character generation types.

Some players ''may'' earn a character slot that can use Prime Character Generation rules as reward for future charity events. Prime Character Generation is compatible with Sum-to-Ten.

Exotic characters like Metasapients and Infected are allowed but experience playing other things first is heavily recommended.

Certain qualities like Amnesia are allowed but have a lower priority to get approved due to the extra burden on the chargen staff.

Players are allotted 3 character slots. They may buy a 4th for 20 [[GMP]], a 5th for 40 [[GMP]], a 6th for 80 [[GMP]] and so on. When doing this, post a comment to your r/Shadowhavenchargen post with a tag /u/jre2 and /u/Nitsuj83 with how much GMP you spent. Extralife prime slots are exempt from this limit.

Players may purchase prime gen character slots at the cost of 100 [[GMP]] for their first purchase. Any additional slots cost an additional 100 [[GMP]] which is cumulative.

'''(ex.)'''
* 1st PG Character Slot - 100 [[GMP]]
* 2nd PG Character Slot - 200 [[GMP]]
* 3rd Character Slot - 300 [[GMP]], etc...

Prime Generation slots purchased through our charity events are exempt from this cumulative price. You must always mark on your characters wiki page the source of the prime gen whether that is something like our extra life events or if it was purchased.

== Attributes at Character Generation ==

You can only have 1 starting attribute at one that is unaugmented unless your backstory fits having more lower. Generally, having multiple attributes at 1 leads to a poor gameplay experience and quick death of player characters. As such, the CharGen team will lead you away from the choice unless your backstory is exceptional. Sheets with this status will take more time to process.

== Skill Specializations ==

You may purchase a specialization with skill points even if the rank (or ranks) in the skill were purchased with karma.

== Lifestyle Location Advisement ==

If your character's primary lifestyle is located outside of the city the mission takes place in and you lack a rail pass that is connected to the mission city, you will likely incur transportation fees and fatigue before runs, at GM discretion. The cost of a plane ticket between two cities is half the distance between the two cities in kilometers plus 100 nuyen.

((Todo, add cities connected via rail))

== Initiations ==

Initiations are not permitted at chargen.

=== Attributes ===
Increasing an Attribute takes a number of weeks equal to the new Attribute Rating minus the Metatype Minimum.

=== Combined Training ===
Attributes and skills can be trained simultaneously, whether doing multiple skills (as per LOG/2) or skill groups.

=== Qualities Post Character Generation ===

Players are allowed to purchase positive qualities outside of character generation. However, you must either get approval from your GM if you want to buy one on or after a run, or you can submit a request in the most recent downtime rolling thread and tag any of the current council members for approval. GM's and Council reserve the right to deny a quality if it doesn't appear to make sense for the character or what they did to achieve it, however GM's are highly encouraged to work with players to come to an arrangement.

=== Day Job ===
To represent the effect of Day Job, a multiplier is applied to required time for all downtime activites, such as skill or attribute training, learning martial arts, and intitations.

No change is made to income.

= ShadowHaven Houserules and Custom Mechanics =

== Contacts ==
The default is for players to choose their contacts from the already made public contacts. We additionally allow, as an option for the die hards, to create and stat out your own contact. [[Contact_Rules|Shadowgrid uses a custom contact system you can read about here]].

Note: If you create your own contact you can temporarily not stat it out right away at the penalty of not being able to use it. If the GM asks/lets you use it anyway, the assumed dice pool for their primary skill is <code>Skill = Connection * 2 + 2</code>.

==Infected==

We allow Ghouls, Vampires, Gnawers and Banshees on ShadowHaven. PCs are not sterile, so your teammates may be extra cautious around you.

==Metatypes==

AI are not permitted for PC use.

== Banned Qualities ==

The following qualities are not permitted for characters to have:

* Amnesia: Neural Deletion

* Better to be Feared than Loved

* Dead Emotion

* Dracoform (Any)

* Friends in High Places

* Human Lifespan (Page 188, The Complete Trog): Having a human lifespan can be done for free as a fluff decision.

* In Debt

* Immunization

* Latent Dracomorphosis

* One of Them

* Pregnant

* Puppet Master (Page 39, Forbidden Arcana)

== Playtest Qualities ==
This quality is approved, but with the understanding it may be removed after 1 to 3 months of testing. Refunds will be addressed should the feature need to be removed. We ask players and GMs to write their experiences with this quality in the Topics for Discussion so it may be studied.

* Death Dealer

* Pacifist Adept

* Shock Mage

* Stalwart Ally

* Taboo Transformer

== Altered Qualities ==
* '''Adept Healer''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Adept Healer does not function on drain damage.
** Damage transferred by this ability will count as drain, and as such, cannot be transferred by further instances of this power, or healed by anything other than rest.

* '''Amnesia: Surface Loss'''
** You are allowed to take this however you should be aware that since chargen has to create your knowledge skills for you as well as creating a backstory, that these character submissions can take longer than normal. While the chargen department should do everything within their power to make the backstory and knowledge skills reflect the rest of the character that has been created that it is ultimately up to the chargen department to pick these so you may not necessarily like what you end up with. The quality works as written in every other way, if a knowledge skill you have on the list is brought up in a run you can spend 2 karma to learn an additional rank and unlock the knowledge skill for later use as well. Backstory can only be discovered as part of a public or private run and the GM has more or less free reign to edit in your backstory as they see fit.

* '''Animal Familiar''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Animal Familiar requires you to purchase the animal as normal, then perform the Animal Handling + Charisma [Social] (12, 1 week) test as outlined in attune animal, to function.
** As stated in the RAW, this does not apply to Awakened animals.

* '''Alchemical Bombmaker''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alchemical Bombmaker is limited to a number of increases in drain equal to your alchemy skill rating divided by 4, rounded down: Once at rating 4, twice at rating 8, three times at rating 12.)
** Can only be used with combat spell preparations.

* '''Alchemical Armorer''' (Page 31, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alchemical Armorer is required to learn the Alter Ballistics (p51) preparation. It has no other effect.

* '''Apt Pupil''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** Apt Pupil applies Alchemy, Arcana, Artificing, Assensing, Astral Combat, Banishing, Binding, Counterspelling, Disenchanting, Ritual Spellcasting, Spellcasting, Summoning and to raising Magic Rating itsel.f
** It applies to the following knowledge skills: Magical Theory, Magical Threats, Magic Traditions, Magical Groups, Magical background, (Appraising of) Magical Goods, Manasphere Studies, Astral Topography, Talismongering, Thaumaturgy and Arcano-Archaeology. More may be added to this list by requesting approval from the Council.
** This will not work with skillsofts, knowsofts, and Demara.

* '''Arcane Bodyguard''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** As per page 48 of the Core Rules, "A Note on Rounding", round the dice you can use on yourself up

* '''Arcane Improviser''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** Requires 4 spells (not preps) from each category, excluding rituals.
** Does not allow you to perform rituals you don't know, nor does it allow you to make preparations that you do not know, or fulfill requirements related to knowing spells.
** The 1/week limitation will be altered to 1/run for ease/simplicity of bookkeeping
** You must meet all the prerequisites to cast the spell, or otherwise be able to learn the spell (meaning no banned spells, and no spells that you wouldn't be able to take otherwise.)

* '''Archivist''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will only work with the following knowledge skills: Magical Theory, Magical Threats, Magic Traditions, Magical Groups, Magical background, (Appraising of) Magical Goods, Manasphere Studies, Astral Topography, Talismongering, Thaumaturgy and Arcano-Archaeology. More may be added to this list by requesting approval from the Council.

* '''Astral Bouncer''' (Page 32, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will only identity the following positive qualities: Home Ground (Astral Acclimation), Spirit Champion, Spirit Whisperer, Spirit Affinity, Mentor Spirit, Witness My Hate, Astral Chameleon, Elemental Focus, Focused Concentration, All Adept Ways, Magic Resistance, Arcane Arrester, Astral Hazing and all Mastery Qualities.
** This will only identity the following negative qualities: Astral beacon, Code of Honor: Harmony with Nature: The Shaman’s Code, Spirit Bane, Spirit Pariah, Reduced (Astral Sight)
** In addition a to Initiate Grade and Adept Powers, Astral Bouncer determines a certain ''Metamagic'' from an Initiate Grade, not an Initiate Power.
** Edge can not be determined.
** Physical and mental attributes can not be determined.
** It is up to GM Discretion which aspects get revealed.

* '''Barehanded Adept''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** This will not work with a spell learned with adept spell
** These spells will not work on yourself. Further, the target must be attacked.
** This will only work with the following spells: Corrode [Object], Death Touch, Knockout, One Less [Metatype/Species], Punch, Ram [Object], Shatter, Shattershield, Thought Recognition, Decrease [Attibute], Decrease Inherent Limits, Decrease Reflexes, Dehydrate, Detox, Enabler, Forced Defense, Nauseate, Prophylaxis, Stabilize, Intoxication, Mind Probe

* '''Black Forest Native'' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** You do not require this quality to be from The Black Forest

* '''Chain Breaker''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** New spirit types are restricted to UMT spirits (Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Man, Beast, Guardian, Task, Plant, Guidance)

* '''Chosen Follower''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** The following options are removed from the list of benefits: ‘Learn two spells or rituals.’ & ‘Improve a magical active skill from rank 1 to rank 3.'

* '''Community Connection''' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Dark Ally''' (Page 35, Forbidden Arcana)
** Only spirits that are not toxic or blood related which PCs normally have access to can be chosen.

* '''Death Dealer''' (Page 35, Forbidden Arcana)
** Note that the maximum bonus from this quality to melee damage is +1, regardless of the rating of the quality, as per RAW.

* '''Dedicated Conjurer''' (Page 33, Forbidden Arcana)
** New spirit types are restricted to UMT spirits (Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Man, Beast, Guardian, Task, Plant, Guidance)

* '''Dependent'''
** Some addictions are better suited with the Dependent quality, and thus we recommend its use instead for alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, video games etc. Speak to your Chargen Minion to see if the Dependents or Addiction quality applies.

* '''Durable Preparations''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
** Durable Preparations stacks with Practiced Alchemist (p39, FA), effectively changing the duration before a prep begins to degrade to (Potency x 6) hours.

* '''Elemental Master''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
** Elemental Master will only work with the natural elements; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. Electricity is not a valid choice.
** Elemental Master does not apply to damage received from drain.

* '''Dual-Natured Defender''' (Page 36, Forbidden Arcana)
**Dual-Natured Defender is a free action to activate, and free action to deactivate.
**Dual-Natured Defender only functions on your innate dual natured quality, such as that from being infected. Any other sources of Dual Natured, such as Channeling a Spirit, or being in an Astral Rift, are unaffected, and do not qualify you for the quality.
**The duration of having this quality active rounds up to the next minute for purposes of determining how long it can be used for before losing magic, essentially making it so that it is always used in one-minute chunks.
**Rather than simply cease Astral Perception, Dual-Natured Defender will temporarily cause you to not count as a Dual Natured being while active.

* '''Lightning Reflexes''' (Page 148, Run Faster)
** Works with astral and matrix initiative. This is provisional

* '''Missile Deflector''' (Page 38, Forbidden Arcana)
** Missile Deflector requires a successful Missile Parry (p310. CRB) interrupt, followed by the Counterstrike Adept Power (p170, SG) interrupt, for a total of -10 initiative to use. Rather than the normal effects of the Counterstrike Adept Power, when this ability is used, it will allow you to make a normal simple action thrown weapon attack against any valid target, with all appropriate modifiers, using the object you have caught.

* '''Nasty Trog''' (Page 188, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Pacifist Adept''' (Page 39, Forbidden Arcana)
** The Notoriety restriction on Pacifist Adept is removed, due to the possibility of gaining Notoriety via peaceful means such as refusing to do a job when you realize it involves murder, or similar.

* '''Restricted Gear'''
** May not be used to get Deltaware or Milspec armor.

* '''Revenant Adept''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** If used, note the date used on your character's wiki page along with a link to the run where it was used on.
** Revenant Adept works until it's cleared all the damage that Regeneration can clear, you've died, or the run ends. This means that having one box of drain does not allow you to have Regeneration indefinitely.
** Revenant Adept does not take an action, even a reaction, to trigger. It can be used while unconscious or in physical overflow. This can be done in reaction to an attack, and the user does not need to be aware, in character, to do this.

* '''Shock Mage''' (Page. 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** “Electricity based skill” shall be at least 1 Electricity Based Spell including [Electricity] Grenade, Ball Lighting, Lighting Bolt, Interference and Pulse.

* '''Spell Jammer''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Spell Jammer is not affected by Mana Barriers, but is affected by background counts.

* '''Spirit Hunter''' (Page. 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Spirit Hunter will cancel any sustained powers, and prevents the use of any active powers, with the exception of Materialization.

* '''Skinwalker''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** The pelt for a mundane creature will cost 50% of the price of purchasing the critter itself, and has an availability equal to that of the critter. Prices and availabilities can be found at [[Animal Availability]].

* '''Spectral Warden''' (Page 40, Forbidden Arcana)
** Binding replaces summoning for the initial summoning tests made by a Spectral Warden, but they must bind the spirit immediately after summoning, the spirit cannot be used for any other purposes before they are bound.

* '''Sprawl Tamer''' (Page 41, Forbidden Arcana)
** Sprawl Tamer interacts additively with our existing [http://www.shadowhaven.info/wiki/Player_Rules#Critter_Tricks house rules] (Effectively adds another +1 modifier to the number of tricks a critter can learn.)

* '''Trog Traitor''' (Page 189, The Complete Trog)
** Can only be taken by orks/trolls and metavariants of those

* '''Vexcraft''' (Page 42, Forbidden Arcana)
** Suppress focus is a simple action, and can be used from either the astral or physical, if you have line of sight on an active focus.
** Grounding focus is a complex action, and can be used from either the astral or physical, but requires both the focus to be eligible to target, and the owner to be eligible to target. This means you can only use this ability to damage a dual natured, or purely astral target, if you yourself are astral, for example.
** Counterspelling does not apply to the defence test, but power foci do, as does the force of any mana-barriers between the caster and the defender.

* '''Worship Leader''' (Page 42, Forbidden Arcana)
** The GM has final say on if enough people can be gathered. Regarding group contacts, organized crime groups and gangs tend not to worship. One must have the Rank quality in any religious order.

== Altered Spells ==
* '''Comet''' (Page 50, Forbidden Arcana)
** Comet does not ignore armour specific elemental resistances (Specifically, fire resistance.)

* '''Altered Ballistics''' (Page 51, Forbidden Arcana)
** Alter Ballistics can also be used on arrows & bolts, as well as bullets, but not area of effect explosives such as rockets or grenades, or other “ballistic” weapons such as darts, thrown weapons, or tasers.
** Alter Ballistics requires Alchemical Armorer to learn, and can only be made into a preparation, not cast as a spell.

== Banned Spells ==
Everything involving Blood, Bug, and Toxic Magic is restricted to NPCs.

The following spells are unavailable to Player Characters:

* Convert Blood to Ichor
* Growth (Page 49, Forbidden Arcana)
* Inflict Disease
* Multiply Food (Page 50, Forbidden Arcana)
* Plague Cloud
* Rot
* Pollution and Radiation spell, adept powers, etc.

== Play Test Spirits ==

These spirits may be removed or modified after 1 to 3 months of testing. Refunds will be addressed should the feature need to be removed. We ask players and GMs to write their experiences with this quality in the Topics for Discussion so it may be studied.

* '''Wild Spirits''' (Page 177, Forbidden Arcana)
** Details about the Spirit and the Status must be documented on the wiki. Player does not have any say in the powers or force.

* '''Vehicle Spirits''' (Page 180, Forbidden Arcana)

* '''Mentor's Mask''' (Page 182, Forbidden Arcana)
** The negative affect to Magician abilities from a Mentor’s Mask will make it possible to detect sustained spells with numinous perception, due to their mentor’s mask manifesting.
** Mystic Adepts, if they take a Mentor’s Mask, get the type of Mask bonus dependent on the bonus they receive from their Mentor Spirit (IE: If they took the Adept bonus from their Mentor Spirit, they get the Adept Mask, and if they took the Magician bonus from their Mentor Spirit, they get the Magician Mask.) The negative effect of a mentor’s mask applies to all aspects of their magic usage that have a force (Both their adept powers, and magician abilities.)
** The choice to have a Mentor’s Mask is made when a character acquires a Mentor Spirit. If they later switch Mentor Spirits, they get to make the choice again. If, for any reason, they lose their Mentor Spirit, they no longer have the advantage, or disadvantage, of a Mentor’s Mask.
** You may obtain or remove your Mentor’s Mask by paying 20 karma without ‘losing’ your Mentor. (Effectively buying off the Mentor, then buying it again.)
** There is no way to hide a Mentor’s Mask, '''there is no way to hide it.'''

* '''Norse''' (Page 68, Forbidden Arcana)
** Godi/Runemaster: Durable Preparations means that the time until Potency starts fading is changed to Potency x3 hours rather than the standard x2 and then an additional doubling. This does not stack with the Durable Preparations quality.
** Cunning Woman: Can only be taken by a Magician, Mystic Adept, or Aspected Spellcaster.

==Custom Items and Mechanics==

=== Repairing Vehicle Damage and Vehicle Destruction ===

It will cost 5% of the vehicle's total cost to heal all boxes instead of the repair cost listed in the book. It will cost 5% to rebuild your drone/car after filling all boxes and totaling your vehicle. Your vehicle may be rebuilt if you can recover it. In some cases, a gm can rule a vehicle unrecoverable (lava, explosives, sinking to the bottom of the sea) in which can you can burn edge to recover your unrecoverable vehicle.

=== Techno Errata ===

The Fade Values for Complex Forms is -3 from their printed values.

There is also a priority table change (P. 65, core. - Priority Table) for Technomancers, change the number of Complex Forms in each row as follows:

* Priority A: Increase from 5 Complex Forms to 7 Complex Forms.

* Priority B: Increase from 2 Complex Forms to 4 Complex Forms.

* Priority C: Increase from 1 Complex Forms to 3 Complex Forms.

In the Magic or Resonance column in the priority table (P. 65, core. - Priority Table) for Technomancers, change the number and type of skills in each row as follows:

* Priority A: Change from 'two Rating 5 Resonance skills' to 'three Rating 5 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

* Priority B: Change from 'two Rating 4 Resonance skills' to 'three Rating 4 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

* Priority C: Change from none to 'three Rating 2 skills from Resonance, Electronics, or Cracking skill groups'.

The Cost for Submersions are 10+(grade x 3) Karma.

=== Critter Tricks ===

All animals are able to learn LOGx2 tricks, with domesticated animals able to learn LOGx3.

=== Health and Edge Between Runs ===

Your PC will fully recover health and edge between runs unless the GM tells you the run occurs in the same pocket universe as the previous run.

=== WFTM / WFTP ===

After a run you may convert karma into Nuyen (Working For the Man), or vice versa (Working For the People) at a ratio of 2000nY to 1 karma. This can be done up to 5 times per run. For example, your initial rewards for a run are 7 Karma and 10,000nY. You Work For the Man, converting 5 karma into 10,000nY, making your final rewards 2 Karma and 20,000nY.

In any case, you must document this on the page for the run in the rewards section. If you have a quality that taxes income, apply to tax to the initial amount you earn.

===Burner SINs===

Players may buy burner sins and associated licenses at the same availability, but with 20% of the cost. These SINs expire after 1 week and may not leave the session they were bought in. They may have rating 1 through 6.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item Name
! Availability
! Nuyen
|-
| Burner Fake SIN (Rating 1-6)
| (Rating*3)F
| Rating*500 nuyen
|-
| Burner Fake License (Rating 1-6)
| (Rating*3)F
| Rating*40 nuyen
|}

===Deltaware Acquisition===

The council has decided to expand the scope of the favors that certain factions can extend to include acquisition a piece of deltaware. As per Cutting Aces page 160, two faction reputation may be spent to attempt to acquire Deltaware by rolling the PC’s negotiation. Alternatively, player may use one of their contacts who is associated with a valid faction.

Should the oppose negotiation vs. availability roll result in success, the PC must spend an additional three points of Faction Reputation (as per RAW) and the nuyen to acquire the ware. Successes can be 'banked' until the additional three Reputation Points are acquired, but two is required to merely roll.

The following faction are valid factions for deltaware acquisition:

* Universal Omnitech
* Zion Amalgamated
* Spinrad
* Proteus AG
* Ares
* Aztechnology
* Evo
* MCT
* NeoNet
* Renraku
* Saeder-Krupp
* Shiawase

When acquiring Deltaware in this fashion, please list the piece of Deltaware and Faction you got it from on your PC’s wikipage.

==Optional Rules In Effect==

* Mentor's Mask (Forbidden Arcana, Page 182). See clarification in the [[Player_Rules#Altered_Mechanics|Altered Mechanics]] section.

== Gear ==
Gear at or under Availability 12 can be purchased without rolling or paying a Finder's Fee. However, the item will take its full delivery time (As though you got one net hit on the negotiation test). You may still roll for such items if desired.

You cannot purchase Mil-Spec armor without a private run.

You can't purchase items with availability at or over 20 or deltaware, unless it is upgradable (ie, has a rating). The exception to this is:

* You can't purchase Foci over Availability 19, even though they are otherwise upgradable and have a rating.

* You may acquire deltaware via the [[#Deltaware_Acquisition| linked house rule.]]

==Upgrades==

You can upgrade (paying only the difference in cost) anything that has a rating. If the gear also has a quality or grade (like Cyberware), there is an additional 25% fee for upgrading.

== Banned Lifestyle Options ==

Hotel California (Page 226, Run Faster)

== Misc. Lifestyle Rules ==

Runners may share residences but when it comes to lifestyle costs every runner must pay the full 100% of their lifestyle costs. Lifestyles are not simply just an apartment but they factor many other things into it as well from food, entertainment, and other essentials. So while we allow people to room with other runners you will receive no discount.

==Traveler Lifestyle (Page 218, Run Faster) ==

When you pay rent or at character generation, roll on this table to see what options your Traveler lifestyle gets. If you have an idea for this table, feel free to send it to Leadership.

ShadowHaven Rules Interpretations

2017-12-01T23:04:10Z

VoroSR:

== Purpose ==

This is a wiki page collecting all interpretations rendered by the Mechanics team where there are multiple possible readings. It is, as of the time of this posting, an experiment by Mechanics team as an alternative to ShadowNET style reddit threads for similar concerns. It may or may not remain in this format.

This is not an alternative to the Player Rules, which should include all house rules - those things that deviate from RAW and likely involved the full breadth of Council. Instead, this is the place for those little things.

'''''Questions by the community may be posed in the Mechanics Threads on /r/shadowhavenBBS''''' The Mechanics Team, under Voro, will formulate a response, then post it to both this page and the reddit comment. While nominally no question is too small, some questions may not be deemed important enough by Mechanics team to make it over to this page. Categorization is a work in progress, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

==Magic==

===The Astral Plane===

* Martial Arts do not function in any capacity on the Astral Plane.

===Spells and Spellcasting===

* Ritual Spell Formulae will have the availability and cost of Combat Spell Formulae.

===Magical Objects===

* Magical Lodges will have no direct impact on the background count of an area during downtime. If it is in-run, I suggest GMs have the background count of the area covered by a lodge be 1 for every 4 full points of force it possesses, with the points being aligned to the tradition of the lodge. The GM, however, has ultimate say. They are not active during downtime to avoid certain possible shenanigans with how background counts work.

===Mentor Spirits===

* '''''Regarding Oracle''''' - Adepts, Magicians, Aspected Magicians, and Mysads following Oracle both may and must take the Divination art and the Augury and Sortilege ritual for the next initiation if they do not already possess it. Adepts and Mystic Adepts without the Magician's Way, as well as any Aspected Conjurers or Aspected Enchanters may still use the Augury and Sortilege ritual, completing the ritual with a straight Magic check (rolling their Magic attribute only in d6) instead of Ritual Spellcasting + Magic, and interpreting the answer to the Question with an Arcana + Logic check. Mystic Adepts who are not locked out of Sorcery and who are following the Magician's Way, and any Magician or Aspected Sorcerer, will use Ritual Spellcasting to complete the ritual as per the usual rules. As usual, the Augury and Sortilege ritual is highly dependent on factors that are not actually within the GM's control, and I encourage you to be cautious even in the face of a seemingly definitive answer. The future is, after all, very tricky. If a character who does not have Ritual Spellcasting is no longer following Oracle, they may not make use of these rules in order to utilize Augury and Sortilege. They are only available to those who stick with Oracle's Gifts.

* The Chaos Mentor spirit allows one to take two levels of Improved Potential in the same limit. You are still limited to 3 total ranks. This is an exception to the normal rules relating to Improved Potential

==The Matrix==

===Technomancers===

* The Editor Complex Form does not trigger data bombs, nor is it blocked by encryption on a file.

==Skills==

* Nerve Strike is a valid skill specialization for Unarmed. Incidentally, so are "Shock Gloves" and "Knucks." Note the normal rules regarding specializations

==Drugs==

* Chemical Glands may not take the Gradual Release option.

* Permitted drugs for use in Chemical Glands are:
** All drugs in the Core Rulebook are permitted. BTLs, as noted below, are not permitted.
** All drugs in Chrome Flesh, with the following exceptions, are permitted: Cereprax, Hurlg, K-10, Nightwatch, NoPaint, Sober Time, and Soothsayer.
** All drugs in Boston Lockdown are permitted, with the following exception: Numb.
** No magical compounds, awakened drugs, or BTLs are permitted under any circumstance.
** No contact vector only drugs are permitted under any circumstance.

* Pretty much every entry a drug has will cause an overdose. Init dice and init score are distinct, but high pain tolerance and limit changes both overlap with themselves (not each other!) and cause overdose. If there are more specific questions, contact Mechanics Team.

==Specific Books==

===Hard Targets===

* Synthskin masks provide bonus dice to disguise tests - this bonus is equal to the successes on a single Software + Logic [Rating] test. In this case, one cannot use edge or other means to get around the limit - it is a hard limitation of the equipment. If you are using a biometric scan of someone's face, you may take another +2, for the purposes of duplicating that face only. In the absence of a proper disguise test, the pool of bonus dice should be rolled on their own, simply for wearing the mask. In any case, the face it is mimicing and the bonus dice a mask provides should be noted on your sheet, and remember that they cannot be changed.
