Alternate Shadowrun Character Creation System

To create a character you have 430 points. The costs of each
aspect of a character are this:

Attributes: All attriutes start at zero. Pay points as if you
were spending Karma to raise attribute. Minimum cost for each attribute is 1.

Examples: Str-6 would cost 21 points (1+2+3+4+5+6). Dex-3 would cost 6 points
(1+2+3). Each attribute must be bought to 1 for 1 point.

Skills: A character starts with no skills. To buy skills, pay
points as Karma to buy/raise the skill. There are no concentration or
specialization limits. That is, having firearms/rifles is NOT limited to 1/3
or 5/7, combinations such as 3/7 or 2/3 are acceptable.

Examples: Stealth-6 would cost 41 points (1+4+6+8+10+12).
Firearms/Rifles- 2/5 would cost 24 points (1+4+5+6+8). Armed Combat/
Edged Weapons/Knives- 3/4/7 would cost 35 points (1+4+6+6+5+6+7).

Magic: Full Mage (formerly priority 'A') costs 125 points. Any
Adept (formerly priority 'B') costs 60 points. Force point to buy spells
or bond foci are paid for out of character points. Force points are NOT based
on resources.

Metahumanity: Metahumanity costs 30 points. Attribute modifiers
are applied AFTER the attributes have been bought.
Examples: Orks must pay for a minimum of Cha-2, which will then
become Cha-1. Trolls must pay for Int-3, which will then become Int-1.

Resources: Pay points according to the table on the back. Point
increments other than five are not allowed. Sorry, but the minimum is 15
points. The alternative is zero resources. Starting Cash (averaging
10500NY), has been taken into account, so 10500NY of whatever value you
have for resources, is starting cash.
