Melee Weapons

Katana

Aspect: Oh shit, that guy's got a katana!
Condition: Damaged (Lasting)
Stunt - Whirlwind: Because a proper samurai is a blur of movement in combat, once per session the wielder can attack every character in their zone at once.

Monofiber Whip

Aspect: Impossibly thin fibre that can cut through anything
Condition: Torn (Lasting)
Stunt - Absolute psycho: Because you have to be absolutely insane to use this weapon, its user deals +2 damage on any attack successful attack. However, if the defender Succeeds with Style, you take 1 shift of damage as you cut yourself on the fibre.

Switchblade

Aspect: Concealable and useful for more than just stabbing
Condition: Lost (Lasting)
Stunt - Stabbity stab: Because no one expects the low-tech solutions, so I get +1 to attacks against people who don't realize I'm about to shank 'em.

Ranged Weapons

Assault Rifle

Aspect: A well-timed spray of bullets can keep an entire room locked down
Conditions: Out of Ammo (Lasting)
Stunt - Suppressive fire: Whenever the user Succeeds with Style on an attack, they can create a Suppressive Fire Aspect with one free invoke instead of making a Boost.

Compound Bow

Aspect: Everyone's always on the lookout for guns
Conditions: Out of Arrows (Lasting)
Stunt: Because modern armour is

Grenade Bandolier

Aspect: Secure hand-held explosive device holder
Condition: Spent (Lasting)
Stunt - Fire in the hole! Once per session the user can roll to Forcefully Crack to attack every person in an adjacent zone (or their own zone, if they don't mind transforming into particularly chunky salsa).

Rocket Launcher

Aspect: Handheld anti-vehicle device
Condition: Out of Ammo (Lasting)
Stunt - AV rounds: Because this is a freaking rocket launcher, the user gets +2 on a roll to a Forcefully Crack when trying to demolish a vehicle (you can take this same stunt against structures, if you prefer).

Sniper Rifle

Aspect: High-tech assassination machine
Condition: Out of time (Lasting)
Stunt - Assassinate: Because this weapon is made for long-range assassination, the user gains +2 to rolls to Stealthily Fight when attacking a target who's unaware of the danger.

Armour

Armoured Jacket

Aspect: As durable as it is stylish
Condition: Damaged x2 (Current), Torn (Lasting)

Chameleon Suit

Aspect: Adaptive clothing that melds with my surrounding
Condition: Hidden x2 (Current), Revealed (Lasting)
Special: If I fail on a roll to hide, I can spend this armour's Hidden Condition to boost my roll on a 1-for-1 basis

Full-body Armour

Aspect: Impossible to hide, near impossible to penetrate
Conditions: Armour x4 (Current), Broken (Lasting)
Special: This armour grants twice as many Condition boxes, but in exchange the GM gets a free invoke on this gear's Aspect in every social scene.

Riot Shield

Aspect: Ballistic protection
Conditions: Broken (Lasting)
Stunt - Knight in chrome armour: Because this shield is big and heavy, once per session I can grant a nearby ally an Aspect Shielded with one free invoke without spending an action.

The Contacts listed here are sort of "generic contacts" that can be mixed and matched to suit your character and campaign. When taking a Contact from this list, you should give them a proper name or alias.

Fixer

Aspect: Friend of a friend to the entire neighborhood

Corrupt Cop

Aspect: A little money can solve a lot of problems, or create them for others

Talismonger

Aspect: I got voodoo \ I got hoodoo \ I got things I ain't even tried! \ And I got friends on the other side
Additional info: a Talismonger is a Mage who focuses on creating and refining magical tools, trinkets, and reagents. They tend to know all sorts of things about the local magic community, and can hook you up with mystical doodads if you're nice to them.

Street Doctor

Aspect: Is a doctor with no moral compass still a doctor?

Local Bartender

Aspect: You think it's a coincidence that "mixer" rhymes with "fixer"? A little alcohol can loosen the tightest of lips.

Mob Underboss

Aspect: Not quite the don, but has their ear

Junior Journalist

Aspect: Hears the news well before it gets published

Mechanic

Aspect: A wizard when it comes to fixing or installing tech or 'ware

'Ware

Wired Reflexes

Aspect:
Conditions:
Stunt:

Cyberdecks

Every Decker needs a cyberdeck in order to hack devices on the Matrix. Many decks look like slightly larger commlinks - about the size of a handheld tablet, but most Deckers choose to have their decks as implants with neural interfaces instead.

In addition to being a basic prerequisite for hacking, cyberdecks offer Deckers two advantages: they allow the Decker to run programs that make their lives easier, and they provide a buffer against biofeedback damage if something goes wrong. The former is represented with Programs (see below), while the latter is represented by each cyberdeck granting you a 2-box Firewall current Condition.

Astro-Scryer mk. 4

Aspect: Need to find something on the Matrix? This deck already found it.
Conditions:  Firewall x2 (Current), Bricked (Lasting)
Stunt: Because this deck is made for Matrix searches, the user gets +1 on rolls to find something or someone online, whether legal or not

FW-Amber Shield

Aspect: The sturdiest deck on the market, but has the bulk to match
Conditions: Firewall x4 (Current), Bricked (Lasting)
Stunt: None, has extra Conditions instead

Tha Blasta™

Aspect: Gotta Blasta™
Conditions:  Firewall x2 (Current), Bricked (Lasting)
Stunt: Because Tha Blasta™ is made for blowing things up, the user gets +1 on rolls to attack electronic devices. If they're taken out, they blow up.

TLA Ninja

Aspect: Fits in a pocket, made for in-person infiltration
Conditions: Firewall x2 (Current), Bricked (Lasting)
Stunt: Because this deck is made for sneaky in-person usage, the user gets +1 to Sneakily Crack when running in AR mode.

Programs

Programs are a special type of Gear that you can load onto your Cyberdeck to alter the way it works. Each Program costs half an Asset point, and don't have an Aspect or Lasting Condition. Instead, each program has an Active (speical) Condition and an effect that it grants you while active. You can only have one program Active at a time, and can swap your active program for another few seconds of work (one turn in a fight scene).

Antivirus

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, it intercepts incoming malicious code before it can harm you or your deck. This gives your deck an extra 2 points of the Firewall Condition. But be warned - deactivating this program immediately marks all your Firewall boxes.

Biofeedback

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this incredibly illegal program is active, your attacks mess with the neural-interface code of other people's devices to scramble their brains. Whenever you attack a person through the Matrix, they can only absorb the damage with their physical conditions.

Blackout

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this slightly less murderous version of Biofeedback is active, you still mess with people's brains, but stop just short of killing them. People you attack can only absorb the damage with their physical conditions, but if they're taken out, they fall unconscious for a while instead of dying.

Crawler

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, you can set your deck to crawl the Matrix for mentions of a certain topic, file, or person. That means that instead of actively searching the Matrix yourself, you can go do other things at the same time.

Decoy

Condition: Active (special)
Effect:  While this program is active, you can run a decoy icon that pretends to be you and appears to be somewhere else in the Matrix. You might have to roll to Sneakily Sway to convince people that it's really you if they look closely, but from a distance it looks believable and can provide a good alibi.

Multiprocessing

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, you can run multiple programs at a time in separate environments. Choose two other Programs - they count as Active for as long as this one is. However, spreading yourself out makes you a larger target - you get -1 on all rolls to defend against attacks or to avoid notice

Misdirect

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, if something would reveal your physical location to another user, it reveals another location of your choice instead. You can change the location this program reveals whenever you load it up.

Tracker

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, you can find the physical location of people in the Matrix. When you Succeed with Style on an attack against a person in the Matrix, you learn their physical location.

Shredder

Condition: Active (special)
Effect: While this program is active, you can corrupt any traces of files you delete, making it far harder to recover. This gives you +2 to Crack rolls to delete a file, and your result acts as the minimum difficulty for anyone trying to restore it.

Archetype Stunt

To play a technomancer, you need to take the Technomancer stunt.

Technomancer

As a technomancer, I can access the Matrix without needing a commlink, cyberdeck, or DNI. This gives me the powers of Resonance Veil, Skinlink, and Cleaner (see below). Additionally, I can compile Sprites, taking them as Critters.

Powers

Resonance Veil

Because I manipulate the Matrix through Resonance instead of code, non-technomancers don't see any changelogs after I edit a file.

Skinlink

Whenever I'm physically touching a device, I can connect to it as if through a direct wired connection. This allows me to bypass wireless security measures and access airgapped systems.

Cleaner

As an action, I can Drain to clear all traces of my presence in a system. This clears all my Current criminal consequences as I vanish back into the Resonance, though this doesn't affect any Lasting or Terminal Conditions I have marked.

Sprites

Sprites are semi-sentient blobs of... something. They're not quite code, but they're also not exactly not-code - most technomancers simply think of them as constructs made of Resonance, or maybe as exotic digital pets.

Sprites are purely Digital entities. They can't manifest in the physical world, nor can they directly interact with it, except through the use of devices.

A Sprite has two Conditons:

• Loaded (Special) - While marked, the sprite is dwelling inside a device or file. It can manipulate its data and operations, to do things like disabling a camera or help focus a gun's smart scope, but it can't interact with the rest of the Matrix while Loaded. Loading a sprite takes an action, and may require a roll if the file is encrypted or the device has a tough firewall.
• Corrupted (Lasting) - A sprite that takes too much damage, or that the device it's Loaded on is destroyed, becomes corrupted, becoming little more than noise on the waves of Resonance. It'll take a few hours of work to re-compile the sprite into a usable form.

Example Sprites

Cookie Sprite

Aspect: A virtual airtag
Conditions: Loaded (Special), Corrupted (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because a Cookie Sprite is like a subtle beacon, I always know the exact location (physical or virtual) of any device or file the Cookie Sprite is Loaded onto.

Fault Sprite

Aspect: An animate blob of bugs and malware
Conditions: Loaded (Special), Corrupted (Lasting)
Skills:  Crack +2, Fight +2

Static Sprite

Aspect: Kshhh-krrrrr I can't hear yo-
Conditions: Loaded (Special), Corrupted (Lasting)
Skills: Crack +2
Stunt: Because the Static Sprite can interfere with any sort of wireless communication, any device it's Loaded onto can't receive or transmit any data wirelessly. Alternatively, any file it's Loaded onto becomes completely unreadable until the sprite leaves.

Shield Sprite

Aspect: Like power armour, only digital
Conditions: Loaded (Special), Corrupted (Lasting)
Skills: Endure +2
Stunt: Because a Shield Sprite can protect me from harm, I can Load it onto my persona to grant myself a 2-box Firewall Condition like a cyberdeck provides.

Tunnel Sprite

Aspect: Don't ask me where it got that
Conditions: Loaded (Special), Corrupted (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because a Tunnel Sprite can (somehow) get anywhere in the Matrix, I can send it into a secure server on its own, without having to cross the firewall myself.

Spells

All mages, whether sorcerers or conjurers, can cast spells. Every mage gets the following three spells as a baseline:

• Manabolt: I can shoot a concentrated bolt of mana at a living creature in my zone or an adjacent one.
  
• Counterspell: I can attempt to counter a spell as it's being cast, or roll Crack to dispel an existing spell's effect.
  
• Minor Telekinesis: I can slowly move small objects within a few meters of me. I don't have fine control and it's not very useful in combat
  

Beyond those baseline powers, you can learn spells as Powers. A spell typically provides narrative abilities that are on par with what a trained human could reasonably do - lifting something sorta heavy (levitate), sneaking past someone (invisibility), or noticing something hidden (Detect Life).

Each spell also lets you Drain to increase its power. This can be something mechanical (like attacking a bunch of enemies at once) or narrative (like lifting a car). These more powerful abilities should be on par with a stunt that has a usage limit.

Here are some example spells:

Barrier

I can make a block of solid mana that last for a brief moment, just enough to let me defend against an attack.

I can Drain and roll with Create to create a barrier between two zones. Anyone trying to shoot or move between those zones must beat my roll or be blocked by the barrier.

Control Body

I can influence another person's body for a moment, making them seize up.

I can Drain and roll to Forcefully Sway someone to gain complete control of their body. On a success, I can control their next turn, but I can only make them perform physical actions. Casting this without consent spell is very illegal.

Control Thought

I can influence the thoughts of another person, implanting a thought in their brain.

I can Drain and roll to Forcefully Sway someone to gain complete control of their mind. On a success, I can control their next turn, controlling their mind and body as my own. Merely knkowing this spell's formula is illegal.

Detect Life

I can scan an area for living beings - the narrower the scan, the more detailed the information. It can tell me the number of people in a large complex, the rough positions of everyone in an apartment, the metatypes and exact locations of everyone in a room, or the identity of an individual person.

I can Drain to immediately learn the physical condition of an individual I can see, including their health and 'ware. This creates an aspect Scanned with one free invoke per stress spent.

Detect Thoughts

I can scan an area for thoughts - the narrower the scan, the more detailed the information. I can detect the presence of thoughts in an apartment, read general emotions in a room, or read the surface thoughts of an individual.

I can Drain and roll to Forcefully Know to dig into the private thoughts of an individual I touch. On a success I can ask one question, on a success with style I can ask two.

Flames

I can conjure fire at my fingertips and shoot flames up to two zones away. I can Drain to intensify my flames, getting a bonus getting a bonus to a Fight or Crack roll equal to the stress spent.

Alternatively, I can Drain and roll to Forcefully Fight, throwing a fireball into an adjacent zone, attacking everything and everyone there.

Hallucination

I can create the illusion of something that isn't really there, that only I and one (living) target can see.

I can Drain to make it visible to everyone. This is a mana-based effects, so cameras and other digital sensors don't pick up the hallucination.

Invisibility

I can hide myself from view. As a mana-based illusion, only the senses of the living are affected. I can Drain to make it a physical effect so also technological sensors are fooled. Either way, this spell only affects vision, so I may still be detected by hearing, smell, touch, or astral perception.

Levitate

I can lift a human-sized object into the air and move it at a walking pace in any direction. I can Drain to lift a car-sized object instead, or to move a human-sized object at sprinting speed.

Manabolt Mastery

When using Manabolt, I can choose to make it nonlethal. If the target is taken out, they're only unconscious instead of dying.

I can Drain and roll to Forcefully Fight to unleash the mana as a blast targeting every living being in an adjacent zone.

Mind Link

I can communicate telepathically with people I'm physically touching. Alternatively, I can Drain to establish a telepathic bond with a half dozen people, with a range of a few dozen meters.

Pulse

I can zap electronic devices that I touch, potentially causing data loss or total failure.

I can Drain and roll with Crack to zap every electronic device in the room like an EMP.

Spirits

Spirits are astral entities, bound into service by a mage's magic. Practitioners of the different traditions have argued for decades whether spirits are created by the mage or if they're merely called forth from the astral.

Spirits by default are purely Astral entities, much like a mage during astral projection. They have two Conditions:

• Physical (Special) - While marked, the spirit manifests a physical body, and can affect (or be affected by) people and objects in the physical world. You can mark or clear this condition with an action.
• Banished (Lasting) - A spirit that sustains too much damage retreats into the depths of the Astral plane to recover. It'll take at least a few hours to find it again.

When you take your first spirit, choose a theme for your spirits, such as:

• Elemental beings, made of water, earth, fire, or air
• Manifestations of different animals, like a bear, an owl, or a shark
• Shapeless blobs of emotions, like devotion, wrath, or grief

Elemental Spirits

Fire Spirit

Aspect: Playful blob of living flame
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Fight +2
Stunt: Because the fire spirit is made of fire, when it Succeeds with Style on an attack, apply an On Fire Aspect on the target with one free invoke.

Earth Spirit

Aspect: Like a wall with legs
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Endure +2
Stunt: Because the earth spirit is like a mobile wall, as long as its manifested I have a 2-box Spirit Wall Current Condition.

Wind Spirit

Aspect: Shy, sneaky, gust of wind
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because no one notices a tiny gust of wind, it gets a +2 to Sneakily Move to infiltrate a location.

Animal Spirits

Bear Spirit

Aspect: A big fluffy tank
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Fight +2, Endure +2

Eagle Spirit

Aspect: Keener eyes than any eagle
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because the eagle spirit can see spot a rabbit from miles away, it gets +2 to Know rolls to notice minute details or motion at a distance.

Scorpion Spirit

Aspect: Creepy crawly the size of a car
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Fight +2
Stunt: Because the scorpion spirit's sting is incredibly venomous, when it Succeeds with Style on an attack, apply a Poisoned Aspect on the target with one free invoke.

Emotion Spirits

Curiosity Spirit

Aspect: Curiosity killed the cat, but lack of intel killed the mage.
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Know +2
Stunt: Because a curiosity spirit always wants to learn, I can send it to independently research a topic during legwork, creating an Aspect with one free invoke to represent the intel it gathers.

Joy Spirit

Aspect: This thing revels in everything, wanton bloodshed included
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Sway +2
Stunt: Because a joy spirit can infect others with its reckless ecstasy, it can attack with Sway instead of Fight, knocking people out as their brains overload on emotion.

Vigilance Spirit

Aspect: You're being watched. Always.
Conditions: Physical (Special), Banished (Lasting)
Skills: Know +2
Stunt: Because a vigilance spirit can see anything and everything, as long as it's manifested, I always know whether I'm being watched. If it's a living being looking at me, I know where they are. If it's an electronic sensor, I know where what kind.

Archetype Stunt

Adept's Physique

As an Adept, I can channel mana to bolster my body. My unarmed attacks are as lethal as weapons. Additionally, I can Drain to perform a fantastic feat of strength or agility. This can include things like lifting a car, jumping up to a 2nd story window, or running as fast as a motorcycle for a few seconds.

I can take additional Adept Powers at the cost of one Asset point each.

Adept Powers

Most Adept Power stunts involve using the character's magic to improve their physical capabilities. Every Adept Power costs one Asset point.

Here are some examples:

Astral Affinity

Because my body is attuned to the mana arround me, I can mark and clear my Astral Condition to perceive the astral plane like a mage. Even when this power isn't in use, I get a tingling sensation whenever there's an astral being near me.

Enhanced Metabolism

Because my innate magic makes my body operate extremely efficiently, I only require three meals per week instead of three per day, can hold my breath for about an hour, and barely grow tired from extended exercise.

Light Body

Because gravity itself bends briefly to my command. I can run about ten meters straight up a vertical wall or across the surface of water, land safely from any fall, and leap twice as far as the average person.

Mystic Armor

Because my magic protects you against incoming attacks, I get a Mystic Armour (Current) condition with two boxes.

Perfect Senses

Because my senses are honed to a superhuman degree, I can distinguish the subtlest of hues in a painting, recognize the slightest tuning in an orchestra or tremble of a voice, and estimate the weight of an object to the gram. My brain and soul are wired to support these abilities, so they don't hinder me in any way.

Soul Strike

Because I can briefly shift your limbs into the astral, I can strike directly at your enemy's soul. When attacking a living being, I can choose to make my attack ignore nonmagical armour, and it can even hit Astral targets like non-manifested spirits or magic wards.

Spell Resistance

Because my body and soul resist hostile magics of all kinds, I get +2 to rolls to Endure any spell. This doesn't apply to defenses against attacks from spirits or other magical critters.

Drones (Critters)

Anyone can buy and pilot a drone, whether they're a rigger or a normie. Drones come in all shapes and sizes: from a bug-sized spy-fly, through a miniature tank or anthropomorphic gunbot, and to a full-on truck. Runners typically stick to the smaller and more concealable varieties.

Drones are always Physical entities, and when active they're also Digital. A drone's Stunt is only active while a rigger is jumped in.

A Drone has two Conditons:

• Active (Special) - .
• Wrecked (Lasting) - A drone that takes too much damage is broken and can't be used until it undergoes serious repairs at a well-equipped workshop.

Example Drones

MicroGecko

Aspect: Walks like a gecko, looks like a gecko
Conditions: Active (Special), Wrecked (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because the MicroGecko looks just like an ordinary gecko, I get +2 to Sneakily Know when listening in on conversations.

Air Blasta™

Aspect: Quadcopta' with a Blasta™
Conditions: Active (Special), Wrecked (Lasting)
Skills: Fight +2
Stunt: Because the Air Blasta™ has a freaking cannon strapped to it, it can use its fight skill instead of crack to take down walls and barriers.

Artemis Grayhound

Aspect: Robo-dog with an obscene amount of sensors
Conditions: Active (Special), Wrecked (Lasting)
Skills: Know +2
Stunt: Because this puppy has every kind of sensor known to man, it can follow the trail of anything that was recently here, whether physically or astrally.

BFS Sheriff III

Aspect: Human-sized block of steel with a pair of machine guns
Conditions: Active (Special), Wrecked (Lasting)
Skills: Fight +2, Endure +2

Autocar McSpeed

Aspect: I definitely never used to cheat in races
Conditions: Active (Special), Wrecked (Lasting)
Skills: Move +2
Stunt: Because this car has a sophisticated auto-pilot, I get a +2 to Move when trying to outrun others on the street or other complicated driving environments.
