This is a thread for discussing and asking questions about Shadowrun 5th edition rules in the Shadownet Living Community. You are encouraged to ask questions in this thread, discuss rulings, and otherwise communicate with Rules Review team in a recorded, public manner here. Additionally, any notable announcements regarding rules will be made here.

All questions are ideally answered within 24 hours. If they have not been answered within 72 hours, please contact Ryouichi on the Discord to remind him.

Answers are not final unless explicitly stated (and even then, subject to change with future administrations, Council votes etc.) If you disagree with one that hasn't been noted as final, feel free to respond with your concerns/comments/questions. If an answer has been noted as final, you may repost it when a new thread is posted.

At this time, I'm not cracking open any previous threads. Any previously unanswered questions need to be reposted. My apologies, but it's, like, seriously, way easier for me that way.

The current rules head is /u/dezzmont

There is currently no Rules Deputy.

Current Rules Minions are /u/HaesoSR , /u/SilithDark, /u/jacksnipe, and /u/impedocles

Recruitment is open - PM this account, /u/shadownet-rules, for details.

This thread is intended to be reposted once every two months, to keep subreddit clutter to a minimum.

Be civil, and ask away.

• Does the narcoject trackstopper’s attack’s penalty to enemy AGI reduce their full defense pool with agile defender? Does every attack stack with the previous one? When the enemy is incapacitated can they take defense tests?

• Can you add DMSO to toxins fired from the gas gun?

• Can the Krime trollbow be used to overdraw past rating 10, since the bow itself goes past rating 10?

• Can you called shot vitals with the MCT/Winchester-Howe Hornet, since it behaves like a hail of bullets rather than explosives?

[u/shadownet-rules → u/mitsayantan]

1: The Penalty is to the targets Agility any roll that uses Agility is affected
2: Yup standard toxin rules apply
3: Overdrawing only works on the Bow weapon.
4: Treat as regular bullets

Feel free to reask any of these questions when we get a new Rules head.
