## 5. Gear

# Cyberware and Bioware
Each skill or characteristic may only be increased by +1 due to cyberware/bioware (or other gear), no matter how many different cybernetics your character has that would otherwise increase that number.

Keeping with the +1 limitation above, each skill can only have one source of {b} (but may have more than one {b} per source).

No 'ware should provide automatic {s} without some other limitation (once per session/encounter, take strain, add {th}, etc.)

#### Essence
Essence ranges from 0-6 (a character with no 'ware has 6 Essence) and is a general gauge of how much humanity is left in you. If at any point your Essence drops to 0, hand your character sheet to your GM. You may be dead or you may become a killer robot bent on wreaking havoc across the Metroplex.

Replacing your natural body with metal and grown parts reduces your humanity and makes it more difficult to channel magic through you.

The following penalties apply based on your remaining Essence to all uses of any Magic skill. This also applies to magical and non-magical healing attempts directed at you, as well as Augment magic attempts directed at you.

\columnbreak

| Essence | Penalty 
|:---:|:-----------:|

| 2 | Upgrade the check twice | 
| 1 | Upgrade the check three times |

Instead of a list of all the various tools, GM should allow players to buy what they would like for their character within reason. If a situation requires a specific tool and no one has it, they could use a story point! If someone has the right tool for the job, reward that player with a boost die.

## Drones

Drones can act on their own through Pilot programs. They all come with a default ‘dog-brain’ set of instructions. They can follow simple instructions from their owner, such as “Stay here and alert me if there is movement.” Without modifications, treat all checks as being unskilled with a 2 attribute. Default sensors may only perceive audio and visual data up to Medium range.

* Manual Control: Weapon can only be fired manually.

## Contacts & Favors
Players receive 2 contacts at character creation. They also receive bonus contacts equal to their Presence characteristic. Contacts can range from street gang members to powerful politicians. GM has final discretion on whether a contact meets the character's background/career. Additional contacts may be purchased for 5 xp during character creation. After this, contacts may only be granted by the GM.

While contacts have no ratings, they can open up legwork options, do favors for you, but may ask favors from you in return. This will open up plot hooks for the GM.

### Favors

The Shadowrun setting uses the **Favor Economy** rules found in *Shadow of the Beanstalk* (page 80). Character creation rules (SotB page 53) are modified to provide 1,000¥ / 5,000¥ / 15,000¥.

#### Sample Factions
This is a sampling of factions possible that the players will deal with and/or belong to. This list is not exhaustive and should be tailored to the setting the GM will be running the campaign in.

If a player belongs to a faction:

* Once per session, you may spend a Story Point to have someone else in your faction perform a small favor or regular favor for you.
* Once per session, your GM may spend a Story Point to have someone else in your faction request you perform a small favor or regular favor; this must be completed by the end of the session.

# Alternate Rules

## Hacking
Hacking uses the rules from Shadow of the Beanstalk with a few changes. Cyberdecks replace Rigs and Commlinks replace PADs. Unlike Rigs, Cyberdecks may be used portably.

Replace company names mentioned with Shadowrun company names.

Only one Computer skill. Limit the actions based on whether you are an intruder or defender.

### Matrix Search
The wageslaves are always tied to their commlinks, looking up the latest Urban Brawl score or watching the latest trid stars. But a Shadowrunner can look into the seedy depths of the matrix to find hidden information.

To do so, make a **Computers** check, but tied to *Cunning* instead of *Intellect*. The difficulty is set by the GM as to how hidden the data is. Your generic drek, like subway schedules, is **Simple (-)** up to classified data being **Formidable ({dif}{dif}{dif}{dif}{dif})**. Since this hidden data is, well, hidden, it takes 30 minutes per difficulty to attempt the search.

\columnbreak

### Access Modes
| Mode | Bonus | Special |
|:----:|:-----:|:-------:|
| Device Only | None | May access certain functions through the matrix without experiencing AR/VR.
| AR | Add {sb} to all non-matrix actions due to being distracted. | Experience the matrix in an Augmented Reality overlay atop the real world. Personas in this mode usually appear slower and ‘laggy’ compared to those in VR. Accessing a host requires being in at least AR.
| Cold-Sim VR | Add {b} to Computers checks | Access through a DNI. Your meat world body goes limp and you experience the Matrix through vibrant Virtual Reality. The Cold-sim filters data incoming to prevent your fragile brain from getting fried.
| Hot-Sim VR | Add {b} and upgrade Computers checks once | The only way to fly. No filters, just pure fast data. May take a second maneuver without suffering strain. May be subject to damage from malicious attacks.

<div class="footnote">MATRIX GENESYS-SR</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Noise
Accessing the matrix wirelessly is very powerful. However, illegal actions require a stronger connection that can be affected by large amounts of data.

| Effect | Example
|:-:|:-:|
| {sb} {sb} | Spam zone. Urban area during rush hour. More than 100km from host.
| {sb} | Between 1-100km from host. In an area with high foot traffic.
| No effect | Direct connection. Within 1km of host with low traffic.

### Technomancers
Technomancers have access to the **Resonance** skill, which they may use to thread Complex Forms with the same rules as Magic. These Complex Forms may only affect the Matrix. All Technomancers have **Skin Link** allowing them to access a device as if plugged in through a Data Jack just by touching the device. They must still do the test to gain access to the device.

Technomancers gain access to the **Attack, Augment, Conjure, Curse**, and **Utility** spell trees.

#### Complex Forms
##### Attack (Resonance Spike)
The Attack Complex Form is used to break IC. The base Strength for this action is the Technomancer’s Cunning characteristic. The base difficulty is **Easy**({dif})

| Attack Sample Effect | Difficulty Mod
|:-:|:-:|
| **Silence**: The attack temporarily severs outside connections. If this attack fails to break IC, any attempt by the IC to alert SysOps fails this turn. | +{dif}
| **Corrosive**: Runner may spend {ad}{ad}{ad} or {t} to reduce the Strength of the IC by 1 for the rest of the Encounter. | +{dif}
| **Empowered**: The attack deals base damage equal to twice the Technomancer’s Cunning | +{dif}{dif}

##### Augment (Infusion)
The Augment Complex Form is used to boost yourself and those around you. The base difficulty is **Average**({dif}{dif}) . Affected targets increase their ability once on any skill check made until the end of your next turn.

| Augment Sample Effect | Difficulty Mod
|:-:|:-:|
| **Infusion**: Target adds damage equal to the technomancer’s ranks in Resonance to Break Ice actions. | +{dif}
| **Elusive**: Target is elusive. If the Lockout action is taken against the target, treat the number of Traces as one less. | +{dif}
| **Additional Targets**: The complex form affects one additional target in the same subsystem as you. You may spend  {ad} to affect one additional target. (This may trigger multiple times, spending {ad} each time.) | +{dif}{dif}

##### Conjure (Compiling)
The Conjure Complex Form is used to summon Sprites. The base difficulty is **Easy**({dif}) . If cast at this level, a lesser sprite of the caster’s choice will appear, but will not be friendly to any target.

| Conjure Sample Effect | Difficulty Mod
|:-:|:-:|
| **Additional Compile**: You may compile an Average Sprite | +{dif}
| **Medium Compile**: Target is elusive. If the Lockout action is taken against the target, treat the number of Traces as one less. | +{dif}
| **Compile Ally**: The sprite you compile is friendly to you and obeys your commands. You may spend a maneuver to direct the sprite, allowing them to determine its action and maneuver. If you summoned multiple sprites, you may spend one maneuver to direct the turns of all summoned sprites.| +{dif}
| **Grand Compile**: You may compile a Greater Sprite. | +{dif}{dif}

##### Curse (Diffusion)
The Curse Complex Form is used to weaken IC and the Host. The base difficulty is **Average**({dif}{dif}) . Affected IC decrease their strength by 1. Affected Hosts will decrease their ability on any skill checks by 1. These affects last until the end of your next turn.

| Curse Sample Effect | Difficulty Mod
|:-:|:-:|
| **Misfortune**: After a SysOps makes a check, you may change one {sb} to {f}. | +{dif}
| **Additional Target**: If there are multiple IC protecting this subsystem, you may affect one additional IC. You may spend {ad} to affect an additional IC (and may repeat this, spending {ad} each time.)  | +{dif}{dif}
| **Compile Ally**: If a SysOps runs a Lockout command from an affected host, you may change any one die in the pool not displaying a {t} or {dis} to a different face. | +{dif}{dif}

#### Sprites
If the Technomancer rolls a {t} on the Compiling roll, the Sprite is **Empowered** and gains the **Empowered** trait listed.

### Enchanting
Enchanting is the creation of magical implements and artifacts. Crafting will use either the Arcana or Primal skill and only certain implements and artifacts can be created with either. The difficulty is listed in the table. To make a crafting check, you must have magical reagents and the item to be enchanted worth at least 50% of the cost of the item and have the *Superior* quality—only the most masterfully crafted items have the potential to hold the magic required.

The process of crafting an item takes one day, plus a number of days equal to the rarity of the item. This does not include any time spent gathering tools or supplies. Your GM may decide that some items take significantly more or less time, depending on the nature of the item and its construction.

#### Magical Foci and Charms
Magic users may have as many foci bound to them equal to their Intellect (for Mages) or Cunning (Primal). For Mystical Adepts, this equals their Intellect or Cunning (depending on their chosen skill), plus one (the additional one must be a Qi Focus).

You may only benefit from one implement at a time. When casting a spell, choose which focus to use.

Charms can be worn by anybody. You may only wear one Charm at a time.

<div class="footnote">ENCHANTING GENESYS-SR</div>

\pagebreakNum

##### Using Dice Results when Enchanting
| Result | Sample Effects |
|:-:|:-:|
| {ad} | Add {sb} to any check to determine the item’s true purpose. Reduce the time to craft the item by one day, to a minimum of one. (You may select this option multiple times.) Gain insight into crafting. Gain {b} on your next Enchanting attempt within 24 hours.|
| {ad}{ad} | When the user uses the Charm, they regain 1 Strain. Your character saves enough materials to reduce the cost of the next similar item they craft by half. Once per encounter, when using the Focus, you can cast with suffering only 1 strain. You find a shortcut and create two charms instead of one.
| {ad}{ad}{ad} | If this Focus grants additional damage using Attack spells, increase that value by 1. You thoroughly document the process and create a blueprint. You are able to reduce the difficulty when making this particular focus or charm in the future by 1 (to a minimum of **Simple**(~) ).
| {t} | Any of the above. If the focus has a GM determine an effect, you as the crafter can choose instead. The item gains the Superior quality. Increase the value of one numerical benefit of the item by one or increase the rating of one quality the item possesses by one, excluding damage, critical rating, soak, and defense. Increase the narrative benefit of the item, or add a new narrative effect, as approved by your GM.
| {t}{t} | The item gains one other item quality, subject to your GM’s approval. (You may only select this option once.) If the focus includes decreasing the difficulty, decrease by an additional, to a minimum of **Simple**(~).

\columnbreak

| Result | Sample Effects |
|:-:|:-:|
| {th} | Increase the time to craft the item by one day. (You may select this option multiple times.) It is more obvious this focus or charm is magical. Add {b} to checks to determine its’ true purpose. Add {sb} to the next Enchanting check the character makes.
| {th}{th} | User suffers 2 Strain when using the charm. Increase the Encumbrance of the item by 1. Underestimated the reagents required. Your character must purchase additional materials worth half of the original component cost.
| {th}{th}{th} | As part of activating the Charm, the user must succeed at an **Average({dif}{dif}) Discipline check**, or the Charm fails to activate. User suffers an additional Strain when casting a spell through this focus. If this Focus grants additional damage using Attack spells, decrease that value by 1.
| {dis} | Any of the above effects. Using this Focus or Charm for the first time causes the user to suffer 8 strain. The item gains the Inferior quality. Whenever the item is damage, it is damaged one additional step.
| {dis}{dis} | User must spend a Story Point to activate the charm or gain benefit of the Focus. Item seems cursed. When the user wants to use the Talisman or Focus, the GM may spend 2 Story Points to cause it to fail to work. If you used a Blueprint during this check, it is proven useless and it resets back to the base difficulty. There is a terrible accident, and your character suffers a Critical Injury or, at the GM's discretion, some related narrative event can occur of equal distress.

##### Magical Implements

| Name | Difficulty | Price | Rarity | Effects
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| Spellcasting Focus | {dif}{dif} | 400¥ | 4 | Choose a spell type. When casting a spell of that type, reduce the difficulty by 1. In addition, Attack spells cast by the user increase their damage by 2. | 
| Qi Focus | {dif}{dif} | 500¥ | 4 | (Adepts/Mystic Adepts Only) Pick two effects from the Augment tree. One effect can normally only increase the difficulty of the spell by one; the second can normally only increase the difficulty of the spell by two. When the user casts a spell, adding these effects do not increase the spell’s difficulty.  | 
| Power Focus | {dif}{dif}{dif} | 10,000¥ | 8 | Upgrade any magic skill check you make. When the Power Focus is created, the GM determines one effect that the focus lets users add to any appropriate spell without increasing the difficulty. The difficulty of the effect must be one that without the focus only increases the difficulty by one. In addition, Attack spells cast by the user increase their damage by 4. | 
| Weapon Focus | {dif}{dif} | 750¥ | 6 | When applied to a melee weapon, either adds +1 damage or applies an elemental effect. (GM determines at creation) | 
| Sustaining Focus | {dif}{dif} | 800¥ | 6 | May take the Sustain maneuver without suffering strain. Max of 2 maneuvers still applies. | 
| Summoning Focus | {dif}{dif}{dif} | 1000¥ | 5 | Spirits summoned do not need to be Sustained. They will stay until the end of the encounter. When conjuring, the Summon Ally effect is added automatically without increasing the difficulty. At creation, GM determines a type of spirit that the focus has an affinity towards. When summoning that type of spirit, reduce the difficulty by 1. | 
| Counterspelling Focus | {dif}{dif}{dif} | 800¥ | 6 | May take the Counterspell maneuver without suffering strain. Max of 2 maneuvers still applies. | 
| Shield Charm | {dif}{dif} | 400¥ | 4 | Once per session, you may reduce the damage of an attack directed at you by half (rounded down). This happens prior to Soak. | 
| Healing Charm | {dif}{dif} | 400¥ | 4 | While wearing this charm, when you recover Wounds or Strain from the Heal spell, at the end of an encounter, through rest, or via Medicine check, you recover 1 additional. | 
| Luck Charm | {dif}{dif} | 500¥ | 5 | Once per session, you may reroll a single dice pool on a check. | 
| Resistance Charm | {dif}{dif} | 400¥ | 4 | Once per session, when the wearer is targeted by an opposed Social skill check where magic was used either to perform or augment the check, they may choose to have the opposing character downgrade his skill check as part of the check. If this means that there are not enough dice for the check, the check automatically fails. |

### Adepts
Adepts have access to the Augment tree of magic, but can only cast on themselves. Reduce difficulty of the cast by 1. (This makes the base cast for Augment an **Easy**({dif}) Qi check).

On top of the skill increase effect (which does not stack), the Adept may add one or more Powers to their Qi check.

Powers cast by an Adept last until the end of the encounter, unless indicated otherwise in the text. Adepts do not need to use the Sustain maneuver. Adepts and Mystic Adepts may sustain a number of Powers equal to their Qi skill rating + 1. If already sustaining that number of Powers, the next cast will replace one (or more) of the sustained Powers.

Mystic Adepts can use the Augment tree like an Adept. If they have access to the Augment tree from their other magic skill, they may cast Augment on others, as well, but do not get the difficulty reduction when casting on others.

#### Adept Powers
| Sample Effect | Difficulty Mod |
|:-:|:-:|
| **Haste**: May take a second maneuver without suffering strain. | +{dif} |
| **Animal Empathy**: Gain {b} to Charm checks with creatures. | +{dif}
| **Attribute Boost**: Boost either Brawn or Agility by 1 for a number of turns equal to net {s}. After this time, suffer an additional strain. | +{dif}{dif}

### Projection

Only Mages and Shaman may astrally project. Adepts and Mystic Adepts may not.

While projecting:
* One movement action may be taken to move up to Far range.
* Your attached Characteristics change:
    * Brawn = Charisma for Shaman \ Intellect for Mage
    * Agility = Cunning for Shaman \ Logic for Mage
* Foci travel with you.
* Your base Brawl damage is equal to your Astral Brawn (see above) characteristic. If you are using a Brawl Weapon Foci, then use that weapon’s damage instead.
* Melee is only available if you have a Weapon Foci. If so, use that weapon’s damage.
* You may only cast spells and attack other entities that are active on the Astral Plane.
* You may use the Dispel tree on active magical effects even if the caster is on the physical plane
* You may pass through most objects, but cannot pass through Barrier spells or solid earth.
* You may project yourself onto the physical plane. You appear similar to a ghost to those around you. You still only see Astrally, but you may communicate normally with those around. One benefit is that you are invisible to technology this way. (So anyone with cybereyes is blind to you!)
* You may only project up to a number of hours equal to your tied magic Characteristic. As soon as this time hits, you lose 1 Essence. You lose an additional Essence for every additional hour you spend away from your body. If you drop to Essence 0, your physical body dies and your Astral projection vanishes.
* Once returning to your body, you regain Essence up to your normal amount at a rate of 1 per Hour.
* If your body should be moved while projecting, it is possible to sense it. Make a Primal/Arcana check (with the tied attribute being changed to Logic). The difficulty is set by the GM based on distance the body has traveled. 
    * Same neighborhood: {dif}
    * Within 20km: {dif}{dif}
    * Within 100km {dif}{dif}{dif}
    * Within 500km: {dif}{dif}{dif}{dif}
    * 500km+: {dif}{dif}{dif}{dif}{dif}
