wly Released Material

Newly released material is generally put on hold for some time. This is meant
to allow players and GMs alike some time to familiarize themselves with the new
information and rules, and work out any potential issues.
For smaller supplements (e.g. 'Shadow Spells', 'Bullets and Bandages',
'Assassin's Primer', etc.) this is usually a period of one month, or until it's
explicitly allowed, whichever comes first.
Bigger supplements (e.g. 'Run & Gun', 'Street Grimoire', 'Run Faster',
'Data Trails', 'Chrome Flesh', etc.) generally require explicit approval, which
will be announced in a house rules update on /r/RunnerHub.
If you are unsure if a specific supplement is already allowed or not,
please ask a GM or member of the organizational team.

Errata

Please note that the official material also includes any errata that are
released for Shadowrun 5E material.
A list of currently available erratas can be found on the website of the
Critical Glitch podcast. This list is neither guaranteed to be complete, nor to
have the latest versions of the errata!

Specific exceptions:

There are some things that Runnerhub does not use. These are specific and targeted,
and when we have a reason that can be fully articulated, it will be published.
Sometimes, the reasons are due to complexity that the Hub cannot handle where a
home table can. Where possible, bookkeeping has been automated on the main
Runnerhub subReddit; some bookkeeping is more complex than a thread can handle, and
that can be why some published items are not allowed.
Specific Books
Lockdown

The contents of the 'Lockdown' supplement are currently not allowed for use by
players. This might change in parts at a later date.

Banned items:

Disallowed Qualities:

Rather than list all the qualities (both positive and negative) that are not
allowed, please check out the appropriate Qualities sections for how the Hub uses
(or disallows) Qualities. If it is not listed, it is accepted as-is from the texts.

Character Creation
General Note

The character creation process is overseen by the Character Control Division.

The legality of any submitted character is ultimately determined by them, and any
questionable aspects of a character are subject to their approval.
 RunnerHub uses only the standard priority build system as detailed in the
Shadowrun 5th edition core rulebook.

Attributes
Minimum Attributes

Physical and Mental attributes at a rating of 1 are not allowed, unless

permanently augmented to a higher rating.

Augmented Attributes

Anything that increases an attribute above its natural rating is considered an

augmentation. This includes cyberware, bioware, magic, adept powers, drugs, and
anything else that adds to a character's attribute rating.
The maximum augmentation bonus to any attribute is +4, even when combining
different forms of augmentation, unless the description of the ability, power or
item explicitly says otherwise.

Magic Attribute and Essence Loss

If a character's magic attribute reaches 0, they are permanently burned out.

This means that th
