Qualities

These are possible qualities you can use in Shadowrun. Positive qualities have a Karma cost that you must pay in character creation; negative qualities come with a Karma bonus you can spend during the creation process. There is no limit to positive or negative qualities, however players should be aware that too many qualities may be difficult to track and could complicate an otherwise easy character.

Purchased

New negative qualities cannot be "purchased" in an effort to get more Karma after character creation, but negative qualities the character already has can be eliminated by paying twice the base Karma bonus unless otherwise specified.

Earned

Both positive and negative qualities may be earned through role-playing. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction and both positive and negative qualities can be awarded based on how a character acts in the world around them.
