![]() If you want to shoot a gun while running, again you can do both with one simple action, but you get a +4 penalty. That would still take you only one simple action because you're doing them both at the same time, but the penalty of doing them both the same time as you take that +1 difficulty penalty on your gunshot. (Within reason.) So if you want, you could try to shoot a gun while walking. The idea with the walking and running penalty is that you can multitask. Either a fifth point or a specialization would cost you the same amount. If you don't buy either right then, then later when you're looking to level up with karma, you're faced with the same exact choice. If you have, say, four points in a skill at character creation, you can choose either to get a fifth point, or to get the specialization. The other advantage of the house rule is that it makes it mechanically identical to buying specializations at character creation. ![]() Forcing you to buy up specializations separately really discourages specializing in the long haul, which makes ideal play very different depending on whether you know you're going into a one shot or whether you know you're going into a campaign. It's not perfect, but I still think it's an improvement. Regarding specializations, yeah it would make them cheaper to buy earlier on rather than later. But once I get to that, I'll share an updated version here with those included.Īnyway, please make use of these as you see fit. I didn't really dive into those even back in the 90s, so I'm not as well-prepared to tackle it now. ![]() I'm going to need to spend some time wrapping my head around those parts of the system. I haven't really tackled Decking or Rigging yet in 3rd Edge. I tried to make it look as much like the 3rd ed rulebook as possible, visually, just for fun :) Pages 2 and 3 are a cheat sheet for character creation, page 8 is a cheat sheet for ranged combat, page 9 for melee combat, etc. It's not really one "cheat sheet" because it's a bit too much for that, but it's several cheat sheets all put together. So my big idea with this reference document is to take all the things that you really need to know to carry out any one specific action and put them all on one page, where you can see it all at once. To do one thing, you may need to search for rules in 3 or 4 different places, sometimes hundreds of pages apart. I've already gotten feedback that my character sheet needs more space for gear, so I'm working on a 2 page version, hopefully with some space for decking and rigging this time.įor the reference manual, the problem I'm trying to solve is that, while it's not wrong that the rules are a bit arcane, they seem a lot harder than they actually need to be just because key information is spread out across this vast manual. But the only form-fillable pdf I could find for the 3rd edition was broken as all hell, and I think the official character sheet is lacking a little in visual design, so this attempts to solve both problems. I used to play 3rd back in the 90s (never enough of it!), and so on coming back to Shadowrun now, that's the edition I wanted to stick with. (I just put this on r/OldSchoolShadowrun, so hopefully no one minds a crosspost!)Ī one-page, form-fillable character sheet, with an updated appearance.Ī condensed reference manual (with a few little house rules) that I'm calling "3rd Edge," just for fun. Hi everyone, I've put together some resources for 3rd edition that I wanted to share and get feedback on. "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."
