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 with over 5 existing and active characters will have lower priority to get approved.

Advisement

If your character's primary lifestyle is located outside of Seattle and you lack a rail pass, 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))

Casual is included in Low Lifestyle, Business in Medium Lifestyle, Formal in High Lifestyle, and Designer in Luxury Lifestyle.

Custom Items and Mechanics

Techno Errata

The fade values for complex forms is -3 from their printed values.

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

Priority A: Increase from 5 to 7

Priority B: Increase from 2 to 4

Priority C: Increase from 1 to 3

The karma cost of submersion is 10+(grade x 3)

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.

Item Name Nuyen header 3
Burner Fake SIN (Rating 1-6) (Rating*3)F Rating*500 nuyen
Burner Fake License (Rating 1-6) (Rating*3)F Rating*40 nuyen

Gear

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

You can't purchase items with availability over 20, 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 can purchase Deltaware, but you must record on your character's wiki page which corp you got each piece from.

Upgrades

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

Banned Lifestyle Options

Hotel California (Page 226, Run Faster)

Traveler Lifestyle (Page 218, Run Faster)

When you pay rent or at gen, 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.
