Watch your back.
Shoot straight
Conserve ammo.
And never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon.

>For a period of ten days beginning on 14 February 2057, Lars J. Matthews will cease to possess any legal status. He will be stripped of all evidence of legal existence, including SIN, credsticks, DocWagon contract, bank accounts and so on. To the individual or group who ends Lars J. Matthews’ physical existence during those ten days, I leave all of Matthews’ assets and 1 million nuyen for a job well done. If Mr. Matthews survives and can prove his identity, his legal status and all possessions will be restored to him. Haven’t you heard? Never deal with a dragon, Lars.

We all like to harp about SURGE, but tell us about the cool things you've (seen) done with it. I'm not talking the minmaxing we all know about, I'm talking either the random shit a Class I gets settled with and running with it, or a well-thought out Class III changeling that went beyond the catgirl trope.

Just off the top of my head:
-The amount a corp will put into looking for you after a run is proportional to the damage you cause. The more people you kill and the more money you cost them, the further they'll go out of their way to fuck your day.
-Combat is pretty lethal, so avoid going loud. If you have to fight, stick to the walls like you're part of the Philadelphia Experiment.
-Having a secondary role (infiltration, medical stuff, etc...) is always handy, but try to specialise rather than generalise. Always better to have a big dicepool with one set of weapons than a mediocre dicepool with every weapon.
-Purchase your ammo in bulk at creation, it's worth the extra investment so you're not worrying about availability rolls later on.
-Initiative dice are your friend. Wired reflexes are good, but Jazz and/or Cram will do in a pinch.
-Pack a backup weapon. Even if it's a taser or light/holdout pistol, it's better than nothing when your main weapons aren't available
-Get a Meta Link and use it as a disposable commlink for if you can't trust something/someone with your primary commlink
-Your employers are always gonna see you as disposable assets, but it's in your best interest to make sure they see you as useful enough to keep on retainer instead of seeing you as outliving your usefulness.

Anyone else want to contribute with tips and stuff?

Thanks for the info. As somebody brand new to Shadowrun I don't even know what kind of advice I'd need.

All I know is that we'll be starting out the campaign working as "detectives for the police" (vague, obviously) and that we';ll be limited in equipment selection due to it being repared for us. I'm going to assume things are going to go south,

I'm going to be rolling a street sammy, and going quiet seems like something that I'd want to do. I'm going to look over the 3e core rulebook before asking for any more advice though.

Actually - what would you recommend as far as weapon selection goes? I'm expecting everybody will contribute to the fight, but I'm designing what I envision to be the party heavyweight. I understand that there are different weapon classes, Pistols, heavy pistols, SMGs and so on. I also understand that there's a distinction between legal and illegal weapons. I also don't want to end up gimping the rest of my party if I end up almost melee dedicated and it causes a lot of trouble.

I've got a pair of Changelings that I enjoy. (1/2)

Peyote is an Aztlaner dwarf med student who got caught in a mana surge that welled up at a frat party that invoved a bag of deepweed being passed around. Triggered her Awakening and her SURGE, gave her Bone Spikes, Thorns, Rhino Hide, Photometabolism, and elongated limbs, turning her into a little ambulatory cactus woman. AZT immediately swooped in and made an Offer She Couldn't Refuse, offering to put her through the rehab she was going to need to cope with her new mutant body and give her magical tutoring as long as she signed a long-term contract to become an AZT wage-mage once her training was complete. She agreed and got shuttled around between various mentors that eventually led to her getting a half-hermetic half-shamanistic Chaos Magician style of spellcasting, worked for AZT for a few years. She eventually got an Extraction set up when she got moved to a secured research base and started seeing the darker side of Aztechnology, and fled south to Amazonia. She's been working off her debt to the Shadow Cartels for helping her escape by working as a talismonger reagent gatherer and growing awakened drugs for them, with a little shadowrunning on the side.

I'm fond of her because Thorns -sucks- as a quality. It's awful, painful, mechanically punishing, and it kinda drives home that her SURGE messed up her life and drove her to lots of drug and alcohol use to cope with the discomfort of the thorns growing from her skin.

She's not that great mechanically, sadly. I really need to enlist someone who's better at mages to help give her a bit more mechanical focus.

Qingwa, on the other hand, I've talked about on here before. She's a Hong-Kong girl who lived in the shitty industrial portion of the sprawl, and got the wonderful double-combo of Asthma and Symbiosis from her SURGE. So she was suddenly practically dying in the smog-choked Kwun-Tong district and once her parents checked in with a Shaman to find out why their daughter had just gotten green skin and started vomiting everywhere, they gave her a token stipend to live on and shipped her off to sunny Shek-O, the beachfront surfer's haven of Hong-Kong. She used her new aquatic abilities to do some light diving work and fishing to feed herself. She eventually got picked up and adopted as a sort of mascot by some environmentalist policlub types that frequent the area (Look at this poor thing, how sick the pollutants and smog we use to poison mother earth affect her...). She started doing slightly sketchier jobs for her policlub friends and eventually started getting cyberware for an edge in her work.

I like Qingwa because she didn't get a complete package off her SURGE. She got the tongue, webbed hands, and frogskin, but she embraced her new identity as a frogperson and got cyberware to help that: Hella jumpin' legs, gills, gecko hands, and those eye-lid covers. She contrasts nicely with Peyote as someone who's SURGE gave them an identity to pursue and that they are enthusiastic about.

GM is new to Shadowrun and doesn't know any more on how it works than I do. It seems like it'd be Specific, since the examples for General are entire metatypes. I figured I'd check on behalf of both of us with people who, you know, have actually played.

If you're working for the cops, just grab a shotgun, get a decent underbarrel attachment (melee, nade, flamethrower, your pref.) and you should be good. If you ever need anything bigger than a shotty...run, you fucking idiot, run!

>>43259223
Anon here downplays just how good cram is as well. Sure, it makes you a bit hyperactive, but it's dirt cheap, lasts hours (!) and your crammy auto-injector will spare you valuable essence, which you can invest in more fun things later.

As far as ammo goes, stick to gel rounds or regular bullets. You can get those literally anywhere, the cops you're working for won't throw a shit fit about them, and odds are, you'll never need anything else unless you're, once again, in situations where you should be GTFO instead.

Otherwise, he's spot on. Something to point out is that it pays to invest in an electronics toolkit and several shitty comlinks. The one where you actually keep anything vital on doesn't need to be active except in circumstances where you know you'll need it, so you may as well put its processor into the one you're doing something illegal with, then swap it back before you toss the hot link.

Considering that the 'common' examples seem to be racism across the board, with no reference to anything beyond metatype, specific fits better.

I've seen Specific used for various nations or ethnicities of humans (a NAN hater New Revolution type), so I'd say it fits better for a single corp, even if it is a large number of people who probably have nothing to do with the reason you hate the parent corp in the first place.

On a related note, is there a supremacist option besides "My Country Right Or Wrong"? Can I be a Son of Sauron, or an elf supremacist, without taking Prejudice (General, Everyone Else)?

Megas have a crapton of subsidiaries. If you have Specific (Aztechnology), do you also undyingly hate every single Stuffer Shack employee? Walmart was Aztech too if i remember correctly. Do these retail wageslaves also count? You would be hating a lot more than a 'specific' group, my friend.

Prejudiced doesn't require you to associate with any hate groups. And even if it did, why should you get BP from good relations to a source of possible income for Shadowrunners and the corporations who fund them?

Is pic related 'undying hate'?

You could take Biased or Outspoken and be against all of the subsidiaries, refusing to purchase from them and advising your friends to do the same, and looking down on people who do support them, let alone work for them. Heck, you probably have a list on your 'link of all the brands so you don't actually support the evil Azzies.

You don't have to shoot up every Stuffer Shack you see, just like someone biased towards technos needs to actively try to abuse them at every term; disgust and a desire not to associate is enough.

I was exaggerating. I don't care the specific brand of prejudice, my friend. I just don't think it qualifies for 'specific'. Next time, when you come asking a question, you should probably be ready to hear an answer you might not like.

And up until, if memory serves right, 10 BP's worth, prejudiced is nothing more than a mild dislike that doesn't need to be acted on. As for dealing with groups you 'hate': You're a shadowrunner. You work for people who want to kill you anyway. Even if you're the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, you just don't have time to indulge on the job. Most runners you run across in fluff are prejudiced, to some extent. It influences their behaviour off the job, how they talk and who they hang with. Most PEOPLE are prejudiced to some extent, but they know when to keep a lid on it professionally.

Prejudiced, IF it actually forced you to act on those impulses, would be a drawback. Except it doesn't unless you take ridiculous amounts of points in it, and even then, it starts with barely noticable negative dicepool mods.

And that's why it's a cheap little turd of a flaw.

So it's a cheap turd for telling you, "Here's your mechanics for social tests, here's how they translate for RP purposes"?

The game is awful for not taking your character and forcing you to go out elf-bashing, but instead says, "because you picked this quality to this degree, you are the kind of person who would go out elf bashing?"

The shotgun wouldn't be too difficult to draw, just not as fast as the pistol. The loop of leather that keeps it in place is fastened by a pair of buttons. just snap them and the gun is free.

I'm not certain if it's a common idea. I can see issues with it as well.

Fair enough. It seems to involve a few more actions than you'd want from a holster to get it to a ready position (even if you do unsnap and grab the gun with one hand, you still have to adjust your grip to have your shooting hand on the trigger), but I guess there's only so many ways to hide a weapon like that.

But Azzies love the spectacle! What's the point of a minotaur pit fighter if he doesn't grab enemies and shove their screaming faces into his horns, to dangle like macabre trophies?

I mean, I'm sure he's good at fighting, but blood sport is about showmanship, not efficiency.

Eeeeh, that's not how close quarters combat works. Grabbing the guy by the horns is pretty much the dumbest, most suicidal thing you could do, especially given the average sizes of Minotaurs vs. other people. Even if you're a troll, great, you have his horns and now you can't block shit from whatever he has in his hands. Good way to commit suicide, though, I'll give you that.

The 'Mentor Spirit' quality isn't just advantages and disadvantages; it means you have a personal relationship with some kind of spirit (though whether it's a regular spirit running a con, some huge cosmic force, or something else is up to interpretation) that you have for guidance and advice. No quality, no guidance on your magical path, just the mechanics associated with the mentor (which is just the mechanics associated with that animal archetype for Beast Way).

Getting a new GM into the setting of Shadowrun as quickly and easily as possible, 5E. Which books should they read? Sixth World Almanac and Corporate Guide from 4E are a given, since most hasn't changed too significantly from then, and the ~3 year gap is easy to fill. But I'm not sure what else is need-to-know.

Something I haven't pieced together yet. What's the actual transmission vector for CFD? I'm guessing it's in Lockdown. But I guess I just don't get CFD in general. It's the nanomachine boogeyman and it's "contagious", but it overwrites you with a specific personality (cf. Chrome Flesh), so everyone you infect would have the same personality? And why's Plan 9 on Jackpoint so stable and even allowed on, then? It's a site full of technical info, including on nanomachine countermeasures, which really shouldn't be in the hands of intelligent nanomachines... And where does nanocyberware fit into ask this? The fluff implies it carries CFD (!!!) but it has no actual consequences to use!

No. There's a ton of 'strains' of CFD, each containing an AI, or a personality fragment (basically a partially formed AI). However, the strains are just whatever nanobots a person happens to get and replicate, so generally people catch multiple strains, each nanobot (which only has a fraction of the full AI or personality fragment) starts networking and/or competing with the others, and you end up with some syncretized result. It may be a lot like a certain AI, if it gets a lot of those nanobots and not many other personality fragments, but it's difficult to get 1:1 transmission.

>>43263951
>And why's Plan 9 on Jackpoint so stable and even allowed on, then? It's a site full of technical info, including on nanomachine countermeasures, which really shouldn't be in the hands of intelligent nanomachines...

Something they address. Basically Plan 9 seems stable (probably because it's already got a ton of schizophrenia and other mental disorders, so accomodating one more voice didn't hurt too much) and because it's better to know thy enemy, and Plan 9's passenger has been reasonably helpful. They'll occasionally mention in-text when they lock Plan 9 out of a thread; for example, Plan 9 doesn't know about the partial cure regarding xenosapients.

>>43263951
>And where does nanocyberware fit into ask this? The fluff implies it carries CFD (!!!) but it has no actual consequences to use!

Basically if you get nanoware, particularly old stuff, there's a chance you can get CFD. IIRC, there's no specific rule or random table for it because CFD is basically a death sentence for your current character (at least personality-wise) and they didn't want that happening arbitrarily, so whether or not there is CFD to be exposed to is up to the GM.

However, if the players are exposed, there's charts that take into account the likelihood of contraction based in part on the amount of nanoware in your body. At that point, it's ruled 'fair game' if they get mixed up in CFD.

As for general transmission, you basically need organic-aimed nanoware in your body. Generally that means being operated on with nanomachines, using nano-delivered drugs, or something similar. Once they're in, they try to reproduce (which, depending on type of nanobot, might mean you eating inorganic stuff).

In Lockdown, a dragon covered with nanomachines that are working on it flies over Boston and spreads it like acid rain.

I think a House of Cards style show about Dunkelzahn's campaign would be cool.

For a movie I make some largely quiet movie set in one of the norther NaN states, play up the native angle with a largely ensemble cast and make a thriller with magic and only secondary hi tech presence. Plot is boy shadowrunner meets girl toxic ecoterrorist, but doesn't realize she's toxic or an ecoterrorist until later.

So there's an argument going on about credsticks in Chummer, and it got me thinking about something that's annoyed me for ages. Why does everyone seem to hand over the whole credstick as part of a transaction? Like you complete the run and Mr. Johnson tosses you the platinum certified credstick with all the nuyen on it, and then you take it with you.

It matters on occasion in games. The Johnson will pay the team with the credstick, sometimes with fake nuyen, and the face then distributes it, usually, evenly.

If a player massively fucks up, betrays the party, or otherwise is deserving of docked pay the face can handle it.

For the other 99% of transactions, however, why would it matter?

The whole point of the credstick is that you can toss it to someone, and they can be confident in knowing that you don't know squat about what they end up doing with it.

the reason they get tossed around so freely is the fact that that's what they were designed for. it's effectively a signed check with minimal data trail. allows for anonymity with few questions asked.

and few questions are asked because looking too hard into the source begins to threaten the corp's ability to perform less than savoury business practices with deniable assets.

Okay. Spirit rep is more determined by your personal attitude towards spirits, which is usually guided by your magical tradtiion or religion. Amerinds would traditionally be of the Shamanist tradition, which generally reveres and respects spirits as allies, equals, or greaters. Of course, anyone who breaks taboo or fails to pay proper respects can expect to be appropriately punished.

But that goes only for spirits summoned through the Shamanist tradition. Spirits also reflect the traditions and circumstances that channeled them, so a Black Magic spirit might be a lot less friendly towards a Shaman... or maybe too friendly, never can tell with Black Magic. Likewise, a spirit brought into the planes by a Catholic Theurge might not be particularly empathetic with a heathen redskin.

And sometimes there's no predicting how a spirit will act, especially in the case of those that "naturally" occur in nature, especially in places of power, wilderness, and scenes of traumatic events.

If she's not a Magician, she can't bind spirits.

That doesn't preclude you from having a spirit Contact, though.

Also binding spirits in chargen is a waste of resources.

"Guides" are usually in the form of Mentor Spirits (a quality you can purchase any time).

If you just want a companion, you'll need an Ally Spirit, which requires some metamagic. If you want one at chargen, discuss it with your GM.

I get the feeling you should be reading the magic section thoroughly before asking these questions. If you're not a magic man, you don't interact with spirits. Shaman Faces are a good combo though, since both want high Charisma.

You could feasibly convince your GM to use an existing, fitting mentor spirit, refluffed as a raccoon. Again, this is only for awakened.

You basically can't, just like you can't make a magical threat nonspecific to the mage or a social encounter nonspecific to the face.

Just occasionally throw in some gymnastic obstacles like laser fences, vertical surfaces, and ventilation ducts.

They gave Lagos the Third World/Dark Continent treatment, which I thought, while a little boring, if there's one spot to put that sort of thing, that's ok. They kind of did it to the whole continent, though, which frustrates me, mostly because it's kind of lazy.

As far as west Africa goes, the other option besides Kigali that jumped out at me was Accra. Even in canon Ghana's successor state is doing pretty well.

SR5 pg. 175, it says thermographic vision shifts light/visibility conditions one row up, so for light conditions, total darkness goes to dim light. The section is for ranged attack modifiers but, what do you think?

What do you guys think would be a more appropriate firearms skill for a bodyguard to have: pistols or heavy weapons?

He's excellent at unarmed combat

He's a troll, so i imagine he could make a living being the tough guy with the giant machine gun you take to drug deals or exchanges to keep things in your favor, but i don't think that background supports his unarmed skill as their probably wouldnt be many situations where its advantageous to drop your machine gun to fight with your fists

...or he made a living as a personal bodyguard, protecting individuals by following them around, anywhere, like for corp execs, celebrities, or mob bosses. Here it would make sense he knows how to handle himself in unarmed, but a machine gun wouldn't fit in this context very often, so pistols then?

i'd appreciate any input someone has on this with their take/experience/knowledge of bodyguards

Pistols. Easier to carry, easier to conceal, easier to slip past security, much more socially acceptable. Bodyguards (sadly enough) are meant to take a bullet for the one they protect, not shoot everything dead forever with heavy weapons.

A machinegun makes a statement, certainly, but is it really the one you want to project as a bodyguard?

Pistols are your best option. Bodyguards often have to stick with their charges in snazzy social-circles, where a machinegun would be frowned up at best and seen as a declaration of preemptive hostility at worst. Not to mention that picking Pistols means you have the option of carrying and using a taser, for when someone's harrassing your charge but doesn't warrant being shot with an actual gun.

Automatics and/or Pistols.
Automatics cover PDWs, which are either Machine Pistols or Sub Guns. Assault rifles can also be worn in certain social settings and look fine. I know Automatics are the minmax firearm skill, however.

Pistols are also an excellent choice because you can carry that Ares Predator with a Taser to cover different kinds of targets. Or, you can carry a Super Warhawk with Ammo Skip and load three SnS and three EXEX in the gun.

I think both fit a bodyguard fine. However, a bodyguard wouldn't specialize in Heavy Weapons, too big, too obvious, and too much collateral damage for a person whos main job is "guarding".

I don't think anyone would frown at a machine pistol in the shadowun setting. Those are available to the general public as long as you license them.

As a rule of thumb, your troll should be able to stand behind his employer with no one seeing he is armed. Everyone knows a bodyguard will carry a weapon but actually having it visible and/or drawn is bad. It's all in the perception of things.

Given how BTL is illegal, I want it to be run by the mafia (or some other criminal gang).

Here's the thing, I want the story to be a cover - in fact the virus kills people connected to the network or something equally bad. I don't know who would need to be killed that way though. I was thinking some old mafioso on life support, but I'm not sure it makes sense. Help, tg

Your players aren't likely to care whether the people die or not. All they care about it getting paid and not getting in trouble with anyone/thing they can't fight.

That twist is only relevant if your players are being set up as the fall guys.

In this case, the BTL parlour could be operated by the mafia, and the son of some mobster might be enjoying himself before he gets zapped.

Important PSA for people wanting to print to pDF directly from Chummer:

Open up Internet Explorer, click the Gear icon, and hover over Print.
Select Page Setup.
In the Page Setup dialog box, place a check in the Print background colors and images check box, and then tap or click OK.

Now you won't lose any of the background colours and shit when you try to print straight to PDF. I'm going to build in some code to automatically apply that setting when you print from Chummer later, but that won't be for a little while.

That's the idea, yes. It got put on the backburner because I got halfway in, realised I'd gotten my base principles wrong and had mucked up most of the equipment class doing it, but it's on the plan. The general idea will be that it enables firing from multiple ammo slots at once if necessary.

So its a low level campaign, but the DM will let me keep my military kit. brother will be a dependant and my character will start with a criminal sim. And the gang who ran the BTL operation is now gunning for me.

With things like Cat Mentor Spirit, Natural Athlete, and Catlike you have 12 dice for running, 14 dice for sneaking, 12 dice for gymnastics. Throw on some martial arts (Tiger Claw System), killing hands, and penetrating strike.

At this point there is almost no physical security that can keep you out and you are more than capable of severely fucking up just about anything that comes into arms reach of you.

Already talked about that with the DM. In echange for keeping Milspec gear i have massive debts that i need to pay to the fixer, around 60000 nuyen.
My brother is also in need of constant medical care, and will cost me ridiuclius amounts to keep alive, plus im fairly certain that the DM intends to use this against me all the time.
Plus im stuck on a criminal SIN due to deserting.
He has decided that having some Milspec gear is outweighed by the fact that im going to be struggling to hold onto any credit i earn, with med bills and the money i owe the fixer.
