Hey all! I'm not the most system-smart guy around, but I got Chummer5 up and ready to crank out a character. Definitely a recommendation for anyone new since it does all the math for you.

As for my character, I'm thinking on a street samurai with mobster ties.

I'll go for a former soldier from our PCC way looking to cash in on his skills & knowledge.

Hi everyone! I was gonna play a troll bruiser but now I'm thinking I'll play a decker since we seem to be filling up on martial types (assuming decking will be important to the game... Some GMs don't like to mess with the Matrix)

I have an awesome decker named Nero from another 5e game that didn't launch that I'd love to play.

*When I try to submit a character only custom sheets are allowed, can you amend the post to allow 5e sheets plz?

Ok here's what I'm working with...

Nero - Decker
Aug 16, 2022 9:27 pm
Bone Density does not add to the body attribute. Only add the bonus for soak tests.
Aug 16, 2022 9:51 pm
Ohhh good point, I overlooked that bit.

I would like to know from the GM how viable a decker will be in the game though as I know matrix play can tend to slow things down...

The 70 karma just means that you can take up to 35 negative qualities to total 70 usable karma. With our starting karma of 35 and your SINner quality you have 60 to use.

Sorry to be nosey about it.
Aug 17, 2022 3:46 am
No worries being nosey. I prefer the input as I've never played shadowrun 5e
Aug 17, 2022 5:14 am
I'm the same way, and Shadowrun is a super crunchy system in general so the way I see it many hands make light work.
Aug 17, 2022 6:53 am
Again, Chummer5 can really help!
Aug 17, 2022 7:22 am
I learn way more about the system doing it myself and as a lifelong rules lawyer I am not going to give up system mastery any time soon
Aug 17, 2022 5:51 pm
Oh wow I was just playing with chummer5 and it is pretty sweet. I may have to switch up my build now...

Still thinking decker but I still want to hear from the GM about how useful/viable a decker would actually be in this game. Are you planning to run any Matrix at all Grezen?
Aug 18, 2022 8:26 am
Coming down to final purchases. Then spending Karma.

Will probably run a separate thread for the Matrix stuff and cross credit the gaming stuff into the playing thread - sound good?
