Strike Rules
Tools
Some Skills require tools to use properly. If you don’t have any tools, you can’t attempt the task. If you have makeshift tools only, you may attempt it with Disadvantage. This may depend on the complexity of the task.
Your character starts play with appropriate tools for their starting Skills. These may be lost as a result of Twists. When you learn a new Skill you do not automatically get tools—you must acquire them in play.

If you try to buy something two levels or more below yours, you can. You do not need to roll. You cannot use your Wealth to buy something two or more levels above yours. If you want to make that sort of purchase, you need to get a loan, find a wealthy patron, or take further measures to be able to do so. To purchase anything else, use the above table to determine the results. Items below your Wealth are labeled “cheap” and items above your Wealth are labeled “expensive.”
There is a Condition that typically goes with Wealth: Short. When you’re Short, you act as though you were one Wealth tier lower. When you get two Costs, one of them is always a Flaw, while the other is either that you are Short or that you owe someone a Favor. The GM will decide which.
Often when you roll a Twist, the GM will ask you if you would rather do without the item in question, or “break the bank” to pay for it. A worse Condition happens when you “break the bank”: being Broke. It’s the same as being Short, but is much harder to recover from. Being Broke does not mean you have no money at all, just much less than you were used to having.
If you get the Short Condition twice, nothing changes. Simply note it down. The third time, however, automatically “breaks the bank” and Short upgrades to Broke. Later on, if you manage to get Short and Broke at the same time, they combine to cause you to treat your Wealth as two levels below normal. Multiple instances of Broke compound too. Effectively, being Broke is the same as a permanent reduction in your Wealth, but with the opportunity to work your way out of it. This is rough, but unlike other Conditions, the GM cannot simply give it to you. You choose it or else earn it by getting three Shorts.
You recover from being Short by working your job and being frugal for a week, or any equivalent way of making money. You can also recover by spending a cash parcel (see below) equal to the Wealth tier you are recovering to. To recover from Broke you need to work your job and live frugally for a year or equivalent, or spend a cash parcel one level above the one you are recovering to.
Shadowrun Equipment
An Always available item can be purchased, owned, and transported by anyone. A check to find such an item will only be required in unusual circumstances, such as trying to find a fresh-baked baguette at midnight in the barrens.
A Restricted availability item requires either a valid SIN or the use of the black market to purchase. These items are not strongly regulated, but are sufficiently restricted that they can't legally be bought with cash. A roll is likely required to find these items on the black market, but with Twists and Costs representing not necessarily a failure to find the item, but a cost, delay, flaw, increase in price, or other negative consequence. Restrictions on possession are unlikely to be enforced unless secondary to other legal or security interaction.
A Controlled item is highly restricted and requires licenses, permits, or other credentials attached to a valid SIN for purchase, possession, and transport. A basic fake SIN is insufficient to buy these items, and a roll is almost certainly required to find them on the black market, likely at disadvantage. Open possession of such items in a high-security area is likely to draw one or more of personal and electronic attention.

Combat spells should be selected to correspond to the tactical combat build of a player using spellcasting as the description for the direct-damage attacks of their character. Additional types of spells that are compatible with the tactical combat build may be purchased for use in achieving different effects when enemies are taken out, or for use outside of tactical combat. Note that mana-type combat spells do not harm machines, only creatures with an aura (living creatures, spirits, etc.); however, they may be used in astral combat while astrally projecting, so find some use with spellcasters. Unless specified, characters are assumed to be using physical and lethal type combat spells.
