ShadowHaven Houserules and Custom Mechanics

Altered and Clarified Mechanics

Paradigm Shift

Paradigm Shift shall, rather than being a metamagic, be performed by paying the same amount of karma one would ordinarily have to pay to initiate. Thus, an uninitiated mage must pay 13 karma, while a IG 5 mage must pay 28. This does not increase initiate grade or the cost of future initiations. As part of this process, the mage will lose any current traditionalist benefits, if appropriate, and gain any new ones they qualify for based on IG and tradition, as appropriate. They will no longer benefit from their current lodge, and their reagents will be out-of-tradition and thus count for only half, barring special circumstances. Fetishes, spells, foci, and bound spirits (including Ally spirits) will remain. If there are any inconsistencies or questions about the process, contact a councilor with your concerns.

Note that this process does not require formal approval, though it should still be noted on your wiki page. This can only be performed during downtime, or with explicit GM approval.

Deltaware Acquisition

For mundane PCs, there are no restrictions on getting deltaware. The awakened or emerged may only gain a chance to purchase deltaware as a run reward for Semi-Prime or Prime runs.

Multi-Casting

Take the dice pool and divide pool for a given spell by the number of times splitting, round up. Thus, if you cast 3 spells, each with a pool of 18 normally, you'd get 6 dice each. If you cast 2 spells and one had a pool of 20, and the other a pool of 14, the first would cast with 10 dice and the second with 7.

Optional Rules In Effect

• Mentor's Mask (Forbidden Arcana, Page 182). See clarification in the Altered Mechanics section.
• We use the optional Drone Modification rules (Rigger 5.0, 122)

Gear

• 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 linked house rule.
• Items beyond availability 19 may be obtained as run rewards with Thematics approval.

Acquiring gear under availability 12

Gear at or under Availability 12 can be purchased without rolling or paying a finder's fee.

Upgrades

You can upgrade (paying only the difference in cost) anything that has a rating, as well as cyberdecks and rigger control consoles and any cyberware or bioware. You must still make the availability roll for the upgrade.

When upgrading a SIN using our upgrade rules, one may also upgrade the licenses attached to that SIN without making an availability test for each license. Only one test, for the base SIN, is required.

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.
