Ultimate Archetypes: The Social Adept (2023)

Creating a Shadowrunner isn’t easy. There’s no class to tell you what abilities you get, and there are a whole lot of options to pick from. You want a runner that isn’t going to frag up when it’s time for them to shine. You also need a character reference sheet that makes it easy to know what dice to roll, with all the numbers crunched so you can focus on playing the game instead of doing math in the middle of a tense scene. That’s what Ultimate Archetypes is designed for. Each Ultimate Archetype includes an optimized starting Shadowrun character, one that is very, very, good at what they do. You’ll also find tips on how to play the character, customize them, and suggestions for your first few advancement choices. A character reference sheet is included, one that has all the dice pools, damage values, and other relevant crunchy bits figured out and clearly presented for you. Ultimate Archetypes are legal starting characters, and are also designed to be legal for Shadowrun Missions, the official living campaign run by Catalyst Demo Team agents at conventions, game stores, and online at https://srmissionsonline.com/ Introducing the Social Adept, an incredibly effective face made even more powerful by their innate magical abilities. As a social adept, you are a master of all forms of social interactions. You are the one who can negotiate the best deals, talk to people and find out what they know, find a fence for the loot or paydata your team picked up, and more. You are also a master of disguise, further enhanced by the ability to change your appearance and mask your aura. Stealth is a specialty of yours as well, useful for staying out of sight, but also for swiping or planting items. And when the drek hits the fan, you've got the skills and powers to stay alive. You might not look like much trouble to your enemies, but you've got an ace up your sleeve. - publisher blurp
