Here's a very simplified explanation of each attribute: In general, you want to have the biggest dice pool you can so that you have a better chance at being successful. For example, shooting a pistol would use a dice pool of Firearms + Agility (since Firearms has Agility as its linked attribute). Every skill in Shadowrun has an associated attribute which contributes to your dice pool when trying to perform that skill. You may also want to know what these attributes mean and what you need to take into account when choosing your metatype. If you want to be a smooth-talking face, you may not want to choose a troll. Notice that, depending on your metatype, there are different maximum values for the various attributes. Trolls: 2.5 meters tall and 300 kilograms, with thermographic visionĮach metatype comes with a base set of attributes (shown in the table below). Orks: Tall like an elf but much stockier, also with low-light vision There are 5 metatypes in the Sixth World: humans, elves, dwarves, orks, and trolls.Įlves: Tall, slender, with low-light visionĭwarfs: Short & stout with thermographic vision Now you need to choose which race, or metatype, your character will be. You can be any type of character that you want in Shadowrun and you're not limited to certain type or class. But, above all, what kind of character do you think will be fun and that you'll want to play?Ĭheck out page 63 for some common character types and pages 112-127 have character sheets for character archetypes. Thinking about the questions above will help you make decisions in the character creation process. Note: A character may not default to an attribute if a skill is italicized.What kind of character do you want to create? What's your backstory? What's your character's motivation?
