House Rules

• As per (SR5eCRB 130), you can substitute skills, at a penalty. For simplicity's sake, I urge the penalty for skill substitution be kept to -2, or GM fiat.
• We encourage skill substitution for several active skills as well, as listed here. This makes sense, and gives Magicians/Technomancers/Techies more skill points to put into other areas.
  • Summoning(123) can be substituted for Banishing(123) and Binding(123).
  • Spellcasting can be substituted for Counterspelling(123) and ritual spellcasting(123).
  • Compiling(125) can be substituted for Decompiling(125) and Registering(125).
  • The various Mechanics (126). A diesel engine in a truck isn't that much different than a diesel engine on a boat.
• As per SR5eCRB(132), the use of cyber implant weaponry is under unarmed combat instead of exotic melee weapon. That just makes sense.
• Enchanting(123) was removed. We don't enchant any more.
• Counterspelling (123) was removed. We don't counterspell any more.
• Data Search is moved to a specialization of Computer. 'Cause that just makes sense, and it's ridiculous that you could otherwise have some professional at Data Search who isn't good with computers. :/
• Electronic Warfare is removed. We don't do that any more.
• Forgery is linked to logic(SR5eCRB 144) instead of agility(127). This isn't the 1500s. Documents are created on a computer, not hand written.
• Knowledge skills don't have subcategories. Just take what you want to make your character interesting.
• Gymnastics can't be used to dodge any more. This isn't a movie. Back flips don't magically dodge bullets.
• Artisan isn't a catch all skill any more. I'm a decent Carpenter. That doesn't magically mean I can paint well. Take a separate skill for each separate skill you want.
