Shadowrun 6th Edition character sheet: every box explained
Shadowrun 6th Edition tracks eight core attributes, a unified skill list, two separate condition monitors (Physical and Stun), and the Edge economy that is central to 6E's action resolution. Augmentations, qualities, and gear round out the sheet.
Identity
- alias
Your runner's street name: the identity they use on the job.
How to fill: Choose a handle that reflects your character's reputation or style.
Example: Ghost
- metatype
Your species: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Ork, or Troll (each has attribute adjustments and special abilities).
How to fill: Pick a metatype during character creation. This sets your attribute ranges and starting Edge.

Your runner role: what you bring to the team (Street Samurai, Decker, Rigger, Mage, Face, etc.).

Your runner's personal history and why they're in the shadows.
How to fill: Write a brief backstory covering origin, motivation, and connections.

About Shadowrun 6th Edition
Shadowrun, Sixth World is the current edition of the classic cyberpunk-fantasy RPG. It is the 2080s: the Awakening brought magic back, metahumanity (elves, dwarfs, orks, trolls) walks the streets, dragons sit on megacorporate boards, and shadowrunners do the deniable dirty work the corps cannot be seen doing. You play a runner: part criminal, part specialist, part survivor, taking jobs from anonymous Mr. Johnsons in a world where the real power holds an extraterritorial charter.
