Cheat sheet
Character creation (Shadowrun 6th Edition)
A checklist you can run during creation.
Quick blocks
Creation order (from system.json)
- Choose Metatype and Archetype: pick your metahuman lineage (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Ork, Troll) and the role you play on a runner team.
- Set Attributes: rate Body, Agility, Reaction, Strength, Willpower, Logic, Intuition, and Charisma from 1-6 (metatypes can raise some maximums), plus Edge 1-7.
- Choose your path: Mundane, Magician, Adept, Aspected Magician, or Technomancer, and set Magic or Resonance 0-6 if you have one.
- Distribute Skills: spread ranks 0-6 across the 19 skills, focusing on the handful your archetype lives by.
- Pick Qualities: note the positive and negative qualities that define your edge and your baggage.
- Record Gear, Augmentations, Contacts, and Lifestyle: your equipment, chrome, fixer, and how you live between runs.
