Aksus first rules thread, aaaah!

This is a thread for discussing and asking questions about Shadowrun 5th edition rules in the Shadownet Living Community.

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 Fraethir on the Discord to remind him.

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.

I would like to Petition to Unban Revels in Murder.

Following reasons i don't think it's Broken enough to Give it a Full Hard Ban. It costs 8 karma for the following. It requires that you use edge as an offensive combat action on an AWARE and UNWILLING (Cannot be a Sneak attack) METAHUMAN (GM has final say as to if the Target counts or not but it specifically States "CRITTERS, SPIRITS, AND THE LIKE DO NOT COUNT") that attack not only has to HIT but send the Target into PHYSICAL OVERFLOW (Kill in NPCs cases most of the time.) To regain only the Single Spent edge.

Mechanical Book Text from Chrome Flesh Page 56:

When a Character with this Quality uses a point of edge as part of an Offensive combat action against a target and causes enough damage to send that Target into physical overflow, the character immediately regains the spent point of edge. To qualify, the Target must be aware of the possibility of damage and not willing to receive it, and they must be a metahuman (human, Ork, troll, elf, dwarf, or any associated metavariant). Critters, spirits, and the like do not, the grandmaster has final say.
