Fixed the qualities

Here is the excel sheet for : (Couldnt link in character sheet it seems)
Gear and essence

Might have to tweak gear again depending on your answer on the legality issues in drones and weapon mount (and the 1 extra karma I got from qualities)

@dejoker a blank custom character sheet with a link to whatever shared document or sheet you're using is fine too

I posted a build sheet -- aka its designed to read top down in a build fashion so should be easy to walk through.

Also is that a maximum of 6 positive + negative qualities or a maximum of 6 positive and 6 negative qualities?

If the former then I have to tweak my qualities but I will do that while just in case -- and make a quick change should that be the case

Reads to me like 6 qualities total.

Check modifying character build sheet

Would "The code of the West" be ok for the honorbound negative quality (p.76)?

Code of the West

Trenchcoat cowboy ay? I like it! Let's use that. Paste it somewhere on your character sheet.

Nice pic!

Funny question, I read a comment about Medic rigger, can you Jump In a Medkit and use you rigging stats and bonus?

I lol'ed at the idea of a rigger jumping into a medkit.

@thevagrant I've figured out the legality issues. I will be adding a small house rule on weapon concealability on vehicles and drones. After all, if character weapons and clothing affect concealability, so should vehicle weapons.

@runekyndig I've completed your character sheet, you're good to go.

@melanqolia I'm working through your hacking stuff next.

@dejoker and @deadpool_qc you're in the queue. Shadowrun's crunchy specs... *smh*

Can I have a combat drone legally with a license?

Edit : I think I found an alternate solution, a bunch of hornet drones with narcojet will do the trick in "legal" situation.

Also, The NCT Nissan Rotor (equivalent body 8) count as 2 or 3 slots? (body/3 rounded down)
Would it be enough for an internal rifle weapon mount?

Short answer to that is that every edition of SR puts weapon mounts as restricted, forbidden or illegal.

My own take on it, flavour-wise, is that the setting isn't a world where law enforcement deploys armed drones legally and remotely to handle violence and crime, ie. even those who are permitted the legality aren't deploying. It hasn't reached that stage, yet. :) Whereas if armed vehicles and drones were freely available and also legal for private citizens, then it'd be a war zone out there. However, this could be up for discussion - I haven't asked what kind of setting all of you prefer.

The combat drone model listed in the book is legal, as are all vehicles and drones.

I missed one line of explanation regarding slots, I'll edit. Number of slots = Body rating. (This comes from mashing SR5 rigging rules into SR6)

Language Skills
Characters get plus one free language for this game.

Is that a second native ?
Jan 1, 2020 2:20 am
Nope, just a free language.
Conceptually I figure a character can only ever have one native language (Linguists, fight me! :P )
Jan 1, 2020 3:31 am
Yea, I was wondering. Do you need to invest a point for each language level at character creation?
Jan 1, 2020 3:58 am
Except for your native language, which is free, and the free one I just gave you, the rest of your Knowledge and Language skills require points. And language levels cost 1 point per level.

Character sheets update:

Ok @melanqolia you're good to go.

@dejoker A few things.
1. Maths tweak. Initiation costs 11 Karma, (10+Grade 1), not 10. Easily solved because you have 1 spare point of Karma remaining anyway.
2. You can't take the Sensitive System quality because you have a Magic rating.
3. We've been discussing Magic spell categories. I've put some changes in the house rules thread, to do with similar spells. No change to the fact that Clairaudience and Clairvoyance are separate spells, like Hush and Invisibility.

Btw, because the old Animal Handling skill doesn't exist anymore, I'm happy to house rule that it belongs under Outdoors, and if you want you can take it as a specialisation, and let me consider using Charisma for its linked attribute (as opposed to Intuition for Outdoors).
The Spider Mentor house rule is firm, so go ahead and use it. You get 2 free levels of Hang Time as an adept. I'll paste the Hang Time description in, but basically you're Spiderman.

@deadpool_qc I'll need your character creation priority selection ranking to figure out your sheet.

House Rules on magic spells updated. This affects @runekyndig and @dejoker with regards to your spell choices.
