A checklist you can run during creation.

Quick blocks

Creation order (from system.json)
  1. Choose role (fixer, netrunner, solo, etc.).
  2. Roll or choose Lifepath background (family, motivations, events).
  3. Distribute STATs: 62 points (players may buy up to role limit). Each STAT must be 2–8 at creation, except Luck (2–10).
  4. Pick Role Ability rank (starts at 4 for Edgerunner mode; GM may vary).
  5. Assign Skills: 86 points (none above 6 at creation, except Language/Role ability).
  6. Choose starting Gear package per Role.
  7. Choose Cyberware (basic cyberware at start is free; chrome must respect Humanity Loss).
