Red Cross Nightingale:  Developed around the end of the Eurowars, the Nightingale was a joint effort be between the remains of the Red Cross and Saeder-Krupp.  The Nightingale was designed to serve as a battlefield medical drone specializing in preventing traumatic injury while being able to survive heavy bombardment.  The Nightingale has no weapon mounts, and may never have weapon mounts added to it due to strict limitations placed into the pilot program.  The drone is treated as having a dice pool of 12 for first aid tests and a 14 for first aid performed on an individual who is currently dying.

Daily Punch 2-13-14 Master/Slave program for Shadowrun 5e

Something I love from Shadowrun 4e was having multiple drones work together.  How about we bring that back for 5e?  To be fair, I think you should be able to slave a drone to another drone, but it should take a program slot on your RCC.  For general rules on programs, see page p243 in the main Shadowrun book.

 

Master/Slave:  Choose one drone you control as a master, and choose a second drone that you control to be the slave.  When you issue a command to the master, the slave will also undertake the same command.

Daily Punch 1-29-14 HIT THE DECK! Positive quality in Shadowrun

How about some more love for Shadowrun 5e?

 

HIT THE DECK!

Karma Cost: 10 Points

You see things that most miss, and It’s save your life on more the one occasion.  When you are targeted by a ranged attack (physical or magical), you may make a perception + intuition (mental) check and reduce your initiative by 10.  If your roll beats the attackers dice roll for the attack, you may drop to prone out of turn.  If this places any objects between you and the attack the attacker fires but misses you completely.  You take any normal modifiers to the perception roll, but you do not take any modifiers due to the type of attack roll to your perception check.  If you fail to notice the attack, you roll defense as normal.  Us must be aware of the attack to use this quality.

Daily Punch 1-28-14 Defensive Training Positive Quality in Shadowrun 5e

How about something not brutal and back to Shadowrun?

 

Defensive Training

Cost: 7 Karma

You’ve spent time learning how to take a punch up close.  It might have been a penny-ante karate school when you were a child or the mean streets when you were older, but either way you know how to not get knocked down and to get back up again!  The character gains a +2 dice pool modifier to all melee defense rolls and a +2 dice pool modifier to all rolls to resist melee damage.  You may also stand up as a free action.

Daily Punch 1-14-14 Speed Freak Quality in Shadowrun

How about a Shadowrun idea?  Trait for the speedsters out there?

Speed Freak

Cost: 5 karma

You live for speed and  you go faster then anyone.  In your first initiative pass, you may take a minus 15 after taking your first turn.  If you still have a positive initiative score, you may immediately go again with a full turn.  Your score will be reduced by 10 as normal at the end of the pass.

Daily Punch 12-6-13 “Great” or “Holy” Spirit mentor in Shadowrun

I’ve always wanted to play an exorcist in Shadowrun.  I’m Catholic, and I know we’ve got a bad rap in 2075, but we can’t be all bad…can we?  How about a spirit mentor for Roman Catholics who play with magic?

 

“Great” Spirit

The “Great” Spirit might be the Catholic Holy Ghost or might represent the Great Spirit of Indian folklore.  In either case, this spirit mentor seeks  to help metahumannity survive in the new magical age.  However, this comes with a price-one must follow a code of selflessness.

ADVANTAGES

All:+2 to Assensing checks checks

Magicians: +2 to all checks to banishing checks

Adept: Gain the Astral Perception Power for free

DISADVANTAGES

If you act in a way that will harm others who mean no harm to you or allow others to come to harm through inaction, you take a -1 penalty to all dice pools until you atone.  This may require sacrifices or attending a religious service.
