Prison are overcrowded in the real world.  Why wouldn’t they be even more overcrowded in the fake?  And why wouldn’t money hungry companies charge the state to manage the care of someone, and then charge the person for their freedom?  Let’s do this!

Ankle Bracelet
Bonus: 8 KARMA

You are a known commodity, Omae.  You got caught, and now you pay the price.  But, the gods, or more specifically the corporate court shined down on you, and now for the low, low price of your soul, you get out a little early.  You also got a nice new fancy foot gear, that you can never touch, never take off, and if you play with will land you back in the slammer!  You’re a marked man!  Individuals attempting to shadow or physically locate a character with this quality in a populated setting receive a +2 dice pool modifier on all tests related to their search as you can now be tracked via the matrix.  Also, if a crime occurs near you, any forces sent into the area will be aware of your presence and bring countermeasures specifically designed to neutralize you.  You may attempt to disable to device, but it is a rating 6 device or rating 8 host.  Any failed attempt instantly results in the police being called.  As an added bonus, you must also pay an extra Street-life style each month as a cost to be free.

If you can get a hit from the physical and the matrix to gain a bit of speed, let’s add one to gain a bit from magic as well!
Mana Jolt
COST: 5 KARMA
Magic runs in your veins.  Sometimes, it weights you down as you keep pushing yourself to pull more from the wide magic world.  Sometimes, that jolt out of the astral pumps you up like no other drug could.  Every initiative pass, once per initiative pass, when you are dealt stun or physical damage from a failed drain roll your initiative score increases by +2.

I have a lot of players asking about concentration.  Let’s build on that.

Constant Concentration

Cost: 25 karma

You constant stress your mind like any muscle with magic.  And like any muscle you’re finally starting to see results.  When you sustain a spell/complex form, the penalty to your dice pool is only -1 for each spell/complex form.  If you give the form to another creature/sprite to maintain, the penalty reverts back to the -2 dice pool modifier.

How about a new quality for Shadowrun.  My Deckers pull double duty as the legwork person.  Let’s build on to this using Cunningham’s Law.

Cunningham’s Law

Cost: 5 karma

You know how to make the g33ks fr33k.  Nothing like hitting the spectrum with your faux-knowledge fab bat to really get their blood pumping.  When learn about a subject using only the matrix, you don’t spend edge, and don’t glitch, you get a free reroll of all the dice that rolled a 1.  You only gain knowledge about the subject of your search and may not spend edge to reroll the total result of your search.  This quality can not be used for any other matrix related task.
