 Positive Qualities
Acrobatic Defender
Duck, dive, twist, and twirl, just put on a good enough floor show to
keep whatever is coming your way from landing on your face. This
quality allows the character to use their Gymnastics skill in place of
their Willpower while using Full Defense. Including this skill in the
Defense Test means that their Physical Limit also applies.
Aware
While most “sparks” have so little magic that they’re not worth
consideration, one type, the aware, are. The aware have astral
perception as their lone magical ability, a truly minor ability that
nonetheless sets them higher than the truly mundane. The aware
have been known for ages as readers of auras, palms, or other
forms of psychometry, but simply being able to see magical activity
is power enough to serve them as researchers, observing the magic
used by others and taking note. The largest place for them, by far, is
in the world of security, serving in personal security details to ensure
no magic is used to influence negotiations, to keep an eye out for
spiritual intrusion, or to direct security details against enchanted
intruders. Several have found a place as musicians as well, as being
able to read the emotional state of a crowd and adjusting their
performance to it is a significant asset.
Broadened Auditory Spectrum (Ultrasound)
This quality enables the character to hear outside the range of
normal metahuman hearing. They can either hear ultrasonic, high-
frequency sound (including ultrasound emitters) or infrasonic, low-
frequency sound. The character must choose which kind of
frequency they can hear upon selecting the quality, and the quality
may be selected twice, once for each frequency. They cannot
choose or control any particular frequency within the selected
spectrum. This ability allows the character to make a Perception Test
to detect communication or sounds within his chosen frequency band
and adds +1 to the limit of Perception Tests involving sound. As this
kind of hearing can be considered always on, noises inaudible to
others may sometimes distract or deafen the character. This quality
results in minor visible changes to the size and structure of the outer
ear.
Broadened Auditory Spectrum is incompatible with any earware (p.
453, SR5).
Perceptive (1)
The devil is in the details, and you see those horns regularly. This
quality is available at two levels. For 5 Karma, characters receive a
+1 dice pool modifier on all Perception Tests, including Astral and
Matrix Perception. For 10 Karma, the modifier increases to +2.
Vomeronasal Organ
The character's nose contains additional olfactory organelles that
augment her sense of smell, granting a higher sensitivity and
contrast by sending neural signals not only to the accessory olfactory
bulb but also to the amygdala and hypothalamus. This enhances a
metahuman's innate ability to discern and react to individuals by
scent, and also to detect basic emotional responses such as fear,
anger, or lust. A character with this quality can also identify individual
people and animals by their smell. Add a +2 dice pool modifier to any
Perception Tests based on smell and a +1 dice pool modifier to all
Social Tests when the character can smell her target. Strong odors
and intense background smells (e.g., garbage, spicy foods, etc.) may
diminish this ability or even confuse it, and the character may
experience extreme discomfort when confronted with overwhelming
odors (e.g., large crowds or offensive smells). To reflect distraction
or discomfort, impose a -1 dice pool modifier to all tests in these
situations (though a respirator can reduce these penalties by filtrating
the air). Thanks to the neural connections between vomeronasal
organs and the brain's behavioral centers, tailored pheromones
provide twice their normal bonus against characters with this quality.
If the character also possesses an adrenaline pump (p. 459, SR5),
other people's smells of fear, anger, and lust may trigger the pump.
In these cases, the character should make a Composure (2) Test (p.
152, SR5).

Negative Qualities
Borrowed Time: Lose of Humanity
Runners face death on a regular basis, but usually they learn the
best ways to avoid it. This quality makes avoiding it impossible; the
inevitable is at your door, you're just waiting for it to knock. It may be
a fatal disease, a slow-acting poison, a precarious blockage, or a
ticking cortex bomb, but no matter the source, death could arrive at
any moment. There is no set time limit on the character's expiration,
only a deadly combination of three dice. At the beginning of each
game session the gamemaster rolls three dice in secret; three of a
kind means times up. At some point during that game session, at the
perfect dramatic moment, the character dies.
This quality cannot be bought off. If the player changes their mind
and wants their character to survive, the gamemaster can allow the
character to survive, at a cost. When their number's up (and not
before), the character must burn all their current Edge to stay alive.
The quality then goes away.
Every Man For Himself
There’s nothing in the world worth more than your own hide. You are
the reason for the old saying, “You don’t have to outrun the bear, just
your slowest friend.” You won’t go back to help a fallen or injured
companion without a really good reason while the drek is still hitting
the fan. If a team member is injured or falls (even one you really
like), make a Composure (4) Test. Success means you can actually
act with a little altruism today and help them if needed. Failure
means you will offer no help whatsoever and will only look after your
own interest. They can get themselves out of trouble.
Tradition
Hermetic
The hermetic mage relies on logic, practice, and execution of a
planned formula rather than intuition and improvisation to effectively
cast spells. They have learned to control magic and believe that the
universe (both the magical parts and the mundane) follows patterns
of energy that can be manipulated through complex symbols,
formulae, and arcane knowledge of its components. This tradition
was widely practiced (if not effective) even before the Awakening,
and this form appealed early on to corporations and governments
due to its intellectual, formalized nature. In hermetic thinking, casting
magic involves imposing the magician's will on the universe - so you
can imagine some of the egos that emerge when mages get
together. Mages are scholars and often have libraries of magical
information from which they design spells. Any mage worth his
reagents has at least a digital copy of one of the founding texts on
hermeticism (rich mages have a fancy hard copy written and bound
by hand in a very fancy ceremony). Hermetic trappings also include
deluxe, well-crafted equipment in archaic laboratories where mages
can create preparations and carry out their research.
Mages create circles of power (they're really just magical lodges, just
with a hermetic twist, but don't try to tell a mage that). Hermetic
reagents include minerals, ores, and other elements - a knowledge
of geology, parageology, and chemistry help them find where to
gather such reagents. In urban areas, items found in the esoteric,
antique, and forgotten corners of the cities can be used by mages.
Older buildings, graveyards, and antique shops may have pieces of
brick, pottery, glass, wrought iron, and jewelry that have been
imbued with magical properties of the elements. Knowledge of
architecture and antiques help in the search for these reagents.
Mages, unsurprisingly, take a somewhat arrogant view on conjuring.
The mage tends to believe that spirits are intelligent but inferior
beings predestined for servitude. With that mindset, mages tend to
be more comfortable binding spirits than are spellcasters of other
traditions.
 Critter Powers
Dual Natured
Dual-natured critters are active in both the astral plane and the
physical plane at the same time. They can affect both astral and
physical beings. They can perceive and interact with the astral plane
like characters using astral perception (see Astral Perception, p.
312). Being dual natured, though, is different from astral perception
in that a dual-natured critter always senses both the physical and
astral worlds; they don't have to shift back and forth (and, in fact,
cannot do so). Their minds are accustomed to processing both astral
and physical sensations, so dual-natured critters don't suffer the -2
dice pool modifier for interacting with the physical world while astrally
perceiving.
Enhanced Senses: Hearing
This power includes any improved or augmented senses beyond the
normal human range of awareness. This includes low-light and
thermographic vision, improved hearing and smell, heat-sensing
organs, natural sonar, and so on. The actual enhanced senses are
specified it the critter's description. If the enhanced sense doesn't
already have a specific effect (for example, thermographic vision),
this power gives a +2 dice pool modifier to tests made using that
enhanced sense, as well as +1 to the appropriate limit.
Enhanced Senses: Smell
This power includes any improved or augmented senses beyond the
normal human range of awareness. This includes low-light and
thermographic vision, improved hearing and smell, heat-sensing
organs, natural sonar, and so on. The actual enhanced senses are
specified it the critter's description. If the enhanced sense doesn't
already have a specific effect (for example, thermographic vision),
this power gives a +2 dice pool modifier to tests made using that
enhanced sense, as well as +1 to the appropriate limit.

Critter Powers
Essence Drain (3 (10 - Target's Essence, 1 minute))
This power allows a critter to permanently take away another being's
Essence and add it to its own. Essence Drain can only target
physical, sapient beings (characters and non-astral critters with the
Sapience power). The target must be sapient (or achieve sapience)
on its own; attempts to use spirit pacts or other methods to imbue
mundane critters with Sapience solely for use as a source of
Essence do not work.
Essence can't be drained while the victim is actively, physically
resisting. They must either be willing or subdued (restrained,
paralyzed, mentally controlled, etc.). Essence transfer can only take
place through a strong emotional connection, whether that emotion is
passion, anger, or terror. The emotion must also be focused on the
critter using the power. Abstract terror is not enough; the victim must
be specifically terrified of his attacker in order for the attacker to
drain the victim's Essence. Though there is often a transfer of living
material involved in an Essence Drain attack (a vampire drinking his
victim's blood, for instance), nothing but the emotional connection is
actually required for this power to work.
Draining a point of Essence takes an Extended Charisma + Magic
(10 - target's Essence, 1 minute) Test. If the critter is disturbed or
interrupted before this test ends, the Essence point is not drained.
Lost Essence affects a target character's Magic or Resonance
Rating (see Essence, p. 52). If a target character's Essence is
drained to 0, the character dies.
A critter can only increase its Essence to twice its natural maximum.
Any Essence drained beyond this point is lost; the critter's astral
form can only hold so much at a time.
The psychic stimulus of the act of draining has the side effect of
creating either agony or euphoria in the victim, depending upon the
circumstances of the attack. Willing victims are most likely to feel a
sensation of ecstasy, which could be addictive. A willing victim being
drained must make a psychological Addiction Test (p. 413) with a
threshold of 2.
A critter that drains Essence can pump their stolen life force into
other attributes, including Magic, with a Simple Action. Every point of
Essence spent may temporarily boost one Physical or Mental
attribute, or Magic, by +1. Multiple points of Essence can be pumped
into a single attribute if so desired, but only one point can be used
per Simple Action. While more than one attribute may be boosted at
a time (for example, Strength and Intuition can both be boosted at
once), only one attribute may be so increased per Simple Action.
The maximum boost an attribute can receive in this fashion is +4.
This attribute boost wears off after 12 hours, and the Essence points
used to fuel the boost are lost.
Immunity to Aging
Some things don't get old. Literally. Beings with this Immunity neither
age nor suffer the effects of aging.
 Critter Powers
Infection (HMHVV Strain I) (3 vs. Body + Willpower)
This power is the vector by which the human-metahuman vampiric
virus (HMHVV) is transmitted. When a critter with this power uses
Essence Drain to reduce the victim's Essence to 0, this power
attempts to pass the critter's own infection on to the victim. To see if
the victim is infected, make an Opposed Test of the critter's Magic +
Charisma against the victim's Body + Willpower. If the critter wins,
the victim is infected and enters a coma-like state as the virus
reshapes the victim physically, mentally, and spiritually. Twenty-four
hours later, the victim rises as a new Infected critter (as determined
by its original metaspecies) with a single point of Essence and an
insatiable, bestial hunger for more. The new Infected critter must
drain Essence from another being immediately.
Player characters transformed through the Infection power
automatically become NPCs upon their "death" and are controlled by
the gamemaster from that point forward.
HMHVV Strain I I
Vector: Infection power (p. 398, SR5)
Speed: 1 minute (1)
Penetration: -3
Power: 13
Nature: Retroviral
Effect (Final): Coma, transformation
This strain is responsible for creating banshees, dzoo- noo-qua,
goblins, mutaqua, nosferatu, vampires, and wendigos. It's only
spread by the Infection power. Once Infected, there is very little
chance of escape from the disease. If the Power of the disease is 6
or lower after the one required Disease Resistance Test, we have a
good news/bad news situation. The good news is, the character has
successfully resisted turning into one of the listed types of Infected
beings. The bad news is, the struggle has cost them their life, and
the character dies. It's best not to get infected in the first place.
If the Power of the disease is 7 or higher after the one required
Disease Resistance Test, the character fails to resist the
transformation. She goes into a coma for (30 - Body) hours as she
transforms. Upon awakening, she acquires the appropriate Infected
quality for her metatype. She begins her new life with an Essence of
1 and a maximum Magic of 1 + initiate grade (see Infection, Magic,
Resonance, and Essence, p. 141). Her minimum starting Magic, if
she was not already Awakened, is 1. If she was a technomancer,
she loses all Resonance and technomancer abilities; any
Resonance-linked Active Skills she had become Knowledge Skills.
If desired, a character may burn a point of Edge to guarantee that
they either pass or fail the Disease Resistance Test.

Critter Powers
Vampire
This quality is generally only taken by human characters, though it
can be taken by non-humans at the gamemaster's discretion. The
vampire's skin becomes paler, and their canine teeth more
pronounced. Otherwise, they appear very much as they did before
they were Infected.
Improved Physical Attributes: Body, Reaction, Strength
Improved Mental Attributes: Willpower, Intuition, Charisma
Gained Powers: Dual Natured, Essence Drain, Immunity (Age),
Infection, Natural Weapon (Bite: DV (STR+1) P, AP -1, -1 Reach),
+1 initiative die, +1 to all movement rates. Additionally, select one of
the Enhanced Senses or Immunities listed below as a free Optional
Power.
Optional Powers: Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell,
Thermographic Vision), Immunity (Pathogens, Toxins), Mist Form,
Regeneration
Gained Weaknesses: Allergy (Sunlight, Severe), Allergy (Wood,
Severe), Dietary Requirement (Metahuman Blood), Essence Loss,
Induced Dormancy (Lack of Air, (Essence) Minutes)
Notes: Vampires can consume only blood, and they suffer Nausea
(p. 409, SR5) within an hour when they consume anything else; if
they consume alcohol, the Nausea kicks in within fifteen minutes.
Treat as a single bout of Nausea as described in SR5. Gamemasters
may allow a Body + Willpower (3) Test to allow the character to delay
the Nausea for ten minutes; after that, the Nausea is unavoidable.
They carry HMHVV Strain I.
Vampires have less buoyancy than human, and receive a -4 dice
pool modifier to all tests made in water when they do not have aid of
an adequate flotation device (note that said device will limit their
swimming speed to the average of their Agility and Strength - 1, with
a minimum rate of 1).
Damage taken due to their Allergy to Sunlight cannot be healed with
Regeneration, even after they are no longer being exposed. Normal
and magical healing still work.
 Weaknesses
Allergy, Severe: Silver
Like characters, many critters suffer allergies to particular
substances or conditions. Treat this weakness as the Allergy
negative quality (p. 78).
Allergy
A character with the Allergy quality is allergic to a substance or
condition found in their environment. The value of this quality
depends on two factors. The first is whether the substance or
condition is Uncommon (2 Karma) or Common (7 Karma). Next,
determine the severity of the symptoms: Mild (3 Karma), Moderate (8
Karma), Severe (13 Karma), or Extreme (18 Karma). Add the
appropriate point values together to find the final value. For example,
the value of an Uncommon Moderate Allergy (Silver) is 10 Karma
(2+8 Karma). If a character is attacked with a substance to which
they are allergic, they lose 1 die from their Resistance Test for each
stage of severity of the Allergy (e.g., 1 die for a Mild allergy, 2 dice
for a Moderate allergy, etc.).
Condition (Value): Description
Uncommon (2): The substance or condition is rare for the local
environment. Examples: silver, gold, antibiotics, grass.
Common (7): The substance or condition is prevalent in the local
environment. Examples: sunlight, seafood, bees, pollen, pollutants,
Wi-Fi sensitivity, soy, wheat.
Mild (3): Symptoms are discomfiting and distracting. Apply a -2 dice
pool modifier to the character's Physical Tests while under the
effects of the Allergy.
Moderate (8): Contact with the allergen produces intense pain. Apply
a -4 dice pool modifier to all Physical Tests made while a character
experiences the symptoms.
Severe (13): Contact with the allergen results in extreme pain and
actual physical damage. Apply a -4 dice pool modifier to all tests
made while a character experiences symptoms. The character also
suffers 1 box of Physical Damage (unresisted) for every 1 minute
they are exposed to the allergen.
Extreme (18) A character at this level, when exposed to the allergen,
goes into full anaphylactic shock. The character receives a -6 dice
pool modifier for anything they do. The character is considered to be
in excruciating agony. The character suffers 1 box of Physical
Damage (unresisted) for every 30 seconds they are exposed to the
allergen. First Aid, Medicine, or magical means can stop the damage
taken from the anaphylactic shock.

Damage (unresisted) for every 30 seconds they are exposed to the
allergen. First Aid, Medicine, or magical means can stop the damage
taken from the anaphylactic shock.
Dietary Requirement: Metahuman Blood
Everybody's got to eat. Critters with this weakness have to include
something strange or exotic in their diets.
Typical examples include toxic waste, petroleum, gold, or
metahuman flesh. Unless specified in the critter's description, it
needs at least one meal per day, appropriate to its size and
metabolism. Unless it gets the specified requirement in its diet, the
critter will eventually grow sick and die.
Essence Loss
Certain critters, most notably the Infected, have no actual Essence of
their own; they exist by stealing Essence from other beings. Not only
do they not have their own Essence, they slowly lose any Essence
they've stolen, at the rate of 1 point of Essence every lunar month.
Losing Essence also means that a critter's Magic might be affected
(see p. 278).
If the critter is reduced to an Essence score of 0, it's living on
borrowed time. It will die a very unpleasant death in Body +
Willpower days unless it feeds and replenishes its Essence. Such a
critter is a starving predator in search of prey for sustenance, and as
such is extraordinarily dangerous.
Certain powers of the HMHVV Infected accelerate Essence Loss.
Any power that is not automatic (meaning it requires an action to
use) is Essence-intensive for the Infected. Each use of these powers
accelerates the loss of Essence by one week.
 Weaknesses
Induced Dormancy: Lack of Air
Some condition or substance can force some critters into a coma-
like state of suspended animation. The condition can be a lack of air,
for example, or a certain rare substance such as orichalcum. The
length of exposure needed to cause the critter to become dormant
varies and is mentioned in the critter's description.

The critter will awaken quickly, usually within a minute, once the
condition or substance is removed.
