In Missions, it costs some money to fix things when they get shot up.  There is a lot of discussion currently about how much that should cost.  I’d like to throw my few neuyen into this mix….

On the Cheap

Cost: 7 Karma

Benefit: You know how to make things happen and cheap.  When you assist in repairing gear and have access to junk of the same kind (scrapyard for cars, broken drones for drones etc) you reduce the cost to fix any fixable item by 30% to a maximum of 95% of the total cost to fix an item.

We all that that friend who gets people to do things those people should never do.  Here’s the trait that they have

Award Winning Personality

Cost: 10 karma

Benefit: When you ask a contact to perform some service for you (getting gear, repairing items, knowledge checks), add three dice to the check.

Today’s post was about Bullets and Bandages, how about a quality to go along with it?

Steady Hands

Cost: 10 Karma

Your hands are a rock!  Nothing shakes you and you keep under control in the worst of situations.  Gain a +1 to the biotechnology skill group and all associated skills in that skill group.

How about a quality for Shadowrun 5e?

Faster than Anyone

Cost: 20 Karma

You move like greased lightning.  Hard to see where you were let alone where you are!  For the first round of combat, if you initiative total is 11 greater than any other person in the combat, you gain one round of actions all to yourself, subtract 10, and then initiative passes as normal.

Well there are exoskeleton arms, there has to be legs….

Legs+:  The latest in exoskeliton enhancements for the mage on the go or person ravaged by disease in the third world.  These items provide additional movement and increase the jump of any person wairing them.  As with the other exoskeleton items provided by Horison, the uses must be operating using a wireless connection.  Each point of rating adds to your sprint and jump tests.  wireless bonus: This item must be controlled wirelessly to enable the full effect of the gear.

How about an oldy but a goodie for Shadowrun 5e?

Power Glove:  Named for an artifact, this glove was developed by Horizon’s exoskeleton division to assist mages in their day to day living.  This item can have additional agility or strength enhancements.  Since the item is bulky in comparison to standard cyberlimbs, you must operate the device wirelessly as well as via normal hand movements. wireless:  This device only functions with the wireless turned on.

How about a Shadowrun negative quality?  Haven’t thought up one of those in a long time….

Burnt Lungs

Bonus: 10 Karma

Be it surviving a fire and not getting treatment to just being a long time smoker, you’ve burnt your lungs pretty hard.  Increase the difficulty to overcome all inhaled poisons, toxins, or other effects by +2.

My local technomancers have been having some problems.  How about some positive qualities.

Web Guru

Cost: 15 Karma

You are awesome and you know it!  The net is your biz and you’re its wiz.  When you use a complex form, increase the results of the complex form by 1.5.  As an example, if you use resonance spike and have 4 net hits, you cause 6 boxes of damage.

Some people just help other…sometimes….

Selfless Mage

Cost: 10 karma

Some people just help others….I know its crazy, but they do…sometimes….I don’t understand it either.  When a character with this quality gives at least three dice to another character as a counter spell, the counter spell dice pool increases by two dice.  The character can do this as many times as possible to normally counter spell.
