Training

Downtime can be used to learn new abilities. The cost of learning a new skill or trick depends on the skill or trick to be learned, but will generally be tens of thousands of nuyen. The player should explain how the character has access to the opportunity to learn the ability. If an appropriate teacher can't be determined, the ability can't be learned.

Skills

Active skills useful for shadowrunning (e.g., Move Silently, Lockpicking, Parkour, Fast Talk) are generally 30-50k¥.

Developing a new local contact typically cost 10-20k¥. National and global contacts are more expensive.

A character can learn a restricted skill they gained access to from a piece of ware, an adept ability, or an initiation for 20k¥ plus half the cost of the ware, adept ability, or initiation. Similarly, learning a skill for casting a spell costs 20k¥ plus half the cost of the spell.

Experienced projectors can teach astral projection skills for 50k¥ each, such as Astral Patrolling, High-Speed Navigation, Astral Tracking, and Etheric Stealth.

Learning a conjuring skill costs 50k¥ per skill: Summoning, Banishing, Spirits of Man, etc.

A mundane skill for centering costs 20k¥ to learn.

Tricks

Custom tricks generally cost 40-60k¥ depending on their applicability and the scope of their effect. A custom trick should be built off of an existing skill possessed by the character: a trick produces a specific type of successful effect equivalent to a bonus on a use of that skill.

Personal Spending

Characters can spend money on things not otherwise covered that are of a more personal nature: luxuries, partying, charity, etc. This should be described in light detail: purchasing a trid system, going to a downtown nightclub, funding a soup kitchen, etc. Players receive 1 action point for every 10k¥ they spend. Buying action point requires enough time to perform the described action.

Special Vendors

These are sellers that have special goods or services, or goods or services at particularly low prices, available to the runners thanks to connections that the runners have built and maintained. Goods and services sold be these sellers don't have availability (e.g., controlled or restricted) limitations. In general, prices are listed for purchases for personal use, not bunk resale.

Janus Koskey

Janus Koskey can either directly provide or act as middleman for a wide variety of offerings, but feels no need to discount his services. He can, for instance, provide forged credentials at the standard price, or introductions to other runners or specialists.

Shiba

Shiba has put together a side business forging vehicle registrations and is willing to provide said services to the shadowrunners at 70% the standard price, her personal cost.

RaverD

RaverD and Clingy Dinghy, formerly of the Brain Eaters, work together to provide limited-time personal credentials and limited-time vehicle credentials at 50% the standard price. She builds the profiles and he inserts them into the relevant systems. Thanks to an infusion of resources by the PCs, they've expanded into forging full credentials at 90% the standard price and backstopping them at 50% the standard price.

The Wizards of the Coast

Mac has built a relationship with this group of wizards on a farming commune in Snohomish, maintained by being available to do jobs when needed.

Type	Price	Description
Initiation	-	The wizards can perform a hermetic initiation at the cost listed for it, removing availability limitations.
Watcher Trap	10,000¥	A one-use fetish that allows the wielder to subdue a watcher spirit. Once bound, the watcher may easily be destroyed. Alternatively, with proper use, the spirit can be later releases, no worse for wear, with no memory of its imprisonment

JLee

Having left Seattle for Borinquen, Jlee no longer provides services to the runners.

The Red Hot Nukes

The Red Hot Nukes no longer provide services to the shadowrunners. Their numbers have been thinned by law enforcement as their smuggling operations for the Mafia have become increasingly difficult with the increased security at the border. Those who remain have little interest in doing business with the runners, given the latter's growing ties to the Yakuza.

Experimental Biotech

Experimental biotech always carries with it risks beyond those of refined and tested technology. While some of these risks or drawbacks of the technology may be known, others may take months or years to become apparent.

Genetic Treatments

Phenotype Adjustments
Type		Cost	Treatment Time	Description
Léonization		1,000,000¥	3 months	A cutting-edge attempt to reverse the natural process of aging. The therapy resets the genetic mechanism that controls aging, effectively rebooting cell life to its youthful prime. After treatment, the patient is restored to a physical age of approximately twenty-one.
Genewipe		100,000¥	2 months	This treatment is a major genetherapeutic procedure that inserts a tag into the body’s neurotransmitters that triggers accelerated cell death whenever these cease to receive regular neurochemical signals from the body—causing epithelial cells and hair to decompose more rapidly when they are removed from the body. As a consequence, biological trace evidence left by characters with this treatment irrevocably deteriorates after five minutes (rendering it useless for genetic profiling or ritual samples).
Masque		70,000¥	3 weeks	This treatment changes parts of the character’s non-coding sequence so that a DNA scanner will not produce a positive identification when searching normal genome ID databases. While most DNA scanners will report a not-found result, some high-end scanners may indicate the absence of certain marker elements and report that further identification is required by other methods.
Reprint		80,000¥	1 month	Reprinting establishes a new genetic profile changing commonly tested polymorphisms within the genome to create a new and unique genetic fingerprint. Only the new pattern is recognized by gene scanners or identified by genetic fingerprinting. Even if full genome sequencing is performed, there is no way to unambiguously identify the individual genetically.

Phenotype Adjustments
Type		Cost	Treatment Time	Description
Cold Adaptation		40,000¥	3 months	Adaptation to cold environments modifies the subject’s metabolic processes to maximize internal heat retention. Transgenic restructured and isolative adipose and skin tissues, adjustment of interstitial and cellular fluids to lower temperatures, and cold-shock protein machineries that refold proteins under arctic temperature denaturing conditions protect the body against the effects of extreme colds. Characters that have undergone such treatment get Advantage when resisting cold- or ice-related harm and for surviving in cold environments. This treatment is incompatible with the same implants as heat adaptation.
Heat Adaptation		40,000¥	3 months	Heat tolerance is conveyed by increasing water retention to avoid dehydration, speeding blood flow to increase heat diffusion, and using heat-resistant proteins that do not break down at higher temperatures. Skin layers are transgenically reinforced to protect against burning. This enhancement allows the character Advantage for resisting any heat or fire harm by covering the skin with a moist film. The character also receives Advantage for surviving in hot environments. This treatment is incompatible with the same implants as cold adaptation.
Low Oxygen Adaptation		35,000¥	3 months	Adaptations for environments low in oxygen replace a few metabolic pathways with anaerobic equivalents originating from bacteria. Additionally, an adapted subject is usually outfitted with enhanced versions of hemo- and myoglobin in his bloodstream. These allow the subject to survive in a low-oxygen environment for an extended period of time. For instance, the death zone at high elevations is no longer a problem for the patient. In game terms, may provide Advantage to checks in which oxygen availability is an issue.
Microgravity Adaptation		30,000¥	3 months	The side effects of space habitation and return to Earth-normal gravity are reduced by alteration of bone and muscle density, fluid density, pressure receptors, and the otolith organs in the middle ear. Characters with this adaptation are not subjected to any form of space sickness during launch or landing. Any negative biological effects imposed for operating under microgravity conditions are negated. The character does not require any medical treatment when returning to Earth resulting from micro-gravity habitation.
Pollution Adaptation		35,000¥	3 months	Engineering pollution tolerance relies on splicing in proteins capable of isolating and disposing of heavy metals or rendering organic contaminants toxins inert. Further, modifications include the enhancement of the body’s natural metabolic enzymes to deal with toxins more efficiently and to alter cellular receptors and metabolic intermediaries to be resistant to pollutants. Characters with this adaptation receive Advantage for the purpose of resisting chemical attacks from pollutants, heavy metals, and other related toxins.
Radiation Adaptation		35,000¥	3 months	The body is made less susceptible to radiation exposure and damage from radioactive sources by reinforcing nucleic acid repair and DNA protection proteins. Characters receive Advantage for resisting damage from “hot” sources. In addition, the character triples the radiation dose that triggers the immediate side effects of light radiation poisoning or radiation sickness.
