"You should also know that there will sometimes be 'doors' that have other names, like 'vent' or 'panel', so you might find yourself needing to OPEN VENT UP to access an air duct. These are usually apparent in the room descriptions."

"When you stride out into the world, cyberware will be packaged up and given to you instead of immediately being installed. You will have to find a Player or NPC CYBERDOC to install it for you."
[Khai]: What Aardwolf calls "tell catching" is similar to our history commands. E.g., "history tells", "history ooc", "history radio".
"Bioware aims to replace biological systems in your body with improved, man made versions. This process is very complicated as it requires the new organs to be matched closely to your body's existing biological makeup. However, where excessive Cyberware leads people to being very emotionally detached and psychotic, Bioware can cause intense physical problems. Lowered resistance to diseases, longer healing periods and less resistance to deadly damage. All characters can have a maximum of 9 Body Index points of Bioware. But once it starts to exceed Essence Index (Essence + 3) the severe drawbacks begin to kick in."

It's important not to carry cash on you at all times.
"Characters can store their funds in bank accounts. At an ATM, type BALANCE to see how much money is in the account, DEPOSIT to deposit your funds, or WITHDRAW to make a transaction."
"Credsticks, small pen shaped credit cards, are also a safe way to store money. Credsticks can be personalized by someone to keep their funds safe, but can also be rigged by someone who is proficient in ELECTRONICS. To personalize a credstick, simply ACTIVATE it. If the credstick has already been activated, you must CRACK the security with your ELECTRONICS skill before you can access the nuyen within. You can use credsticks to make purchases automatically with the funds from your account, although some illegal street dealers will only accept rolls of nuyen."
"The radios used by Shadowrunners in 2064 are specialized Matrix terminals linked through the Shadowland network. This allows them heavy security from most normal law enforcement agencies, but it is still possible to track someone down through it."
"Radios are an IN-CHARACTER form of communication: disregard the way you behave and think about how your character would act."
To operate a radio use the RADIO command. This will show you its current settings. To center the radio at a frequency (the most common is 8mhz), type RADIO CENTER . To scan through all frequencies type RADIO SCAN. Encryption rating can be set by typing RADIO CRYPT . Only radios with an encryption rating greater than or equal to what you have it set at can receive them."
"To broadcast a message type BROADCAST . Turning the radio off can be accomplished with RADIO OFF."
"Phones are a more private form of communication. When you acquire a phone and wish to use it, you must first find the eight digit telephone numbers of the people you want to call. Type PHONE to see your settings."
"Type CALL (phone number) to start calling someone. If they answer, use TALK (message) to start talking with them. Type HELP PHONE for more information on settings and calls. Head NORTH to learn about doors and maglocks."
"Doors can be locked and unlocked using the LOCK and UNLOCK commands, directions or door names can be used as arguments. To 'pick' a lock you use the BYPASS command. To do this you need an electronics kit however."
"It is also possible to kick or shoot doors down, using the KICK or SHOOT commands. Also, the KNOCK command can be used to alert someone on the other side of a closed door."
"There are a few entries on the score sheet that may not be obvious. Karma is basically your experience in the world. You gain more by killing other people and/or completing Shadowruns. Your total karma is divided into two sections; Reputation, the karma gained through performing Shadowruns and Immortal Awards; and Notoriety the karma gained through killing."
"Essence is the amount of humanity you have left, or how well attached your spirit is to your body. Cyberware will reduce Essence. As your essence drops so does your magic rating. Lower essence and more cyberware decreases the likelihood of beneficial magic affecting you. Essence and magic lost this way cannot be restored. However, essence holes are left when cyberware is removed, allowing replacement without further essence or magic loss."

However, essence holes are left when cyberware is removed, allowing replacement without further essence or magic loss."
"There are two kinds of Armour in the world of Shadowrun; Ballistic and Impact. Ballistic protects against bullets. Impact protects against slower moving projectiles like arrows, fists, swords and explosions."
"Once more than one piece of armour is being worn at once a process known as layering takes place. The highest rating piece of armour is applied in full, then half the value of all other pieces is applied. The full total of all pieces is used to calculate penalties though."
"If the unlayered value of your ballistic or impact armour values is greater than your modified quickness you begin to experience penalties due to your movement being restricted. You will move slower, lose combat pool, and have a harder time using quickness based skills like athletics or ranged combat. Form fitting armour is not included in the calculations for layering penalties however."
"Elevators are essential to traveling about the many, many buildings and areas in Awake. When you are in front of an elevator, type LOOK PANEL to see where the elevator currently is. To call the elevator, type PUSH BUTTON."
"Try looking at the elevator panel again to see which floors this elevator is connected to. Head to a specific floor by typing PUSH (floor number you wish to go to)."
"Decking is a fairly complex art, almost a whole game unto itself. To connect to the matrix, find a room that mentions a dataport and CONNECT. From there you have a variety of options: You can LOCATE another host, then LOGON to it. You can attempt to LOCATE files and DOWNLOAD them."
"But first you need a cyberdeck and four 'persona' programs - body, evasion, sensors and masking. You must INSTALL these programs to access even the most basic of hosts. Once you get started, you'll realise that a lot of operations fail. To improve your chances of succeeding, you can add additional utilities to your deck. Use the SOFTWARE command to get the values and names of software you have installed."
"See the help files: MATRIX, INTRUSION COUNTERMEASURES, CYBERDECKS, PROGRAMS, UTILITIES, LOCATE, LOGON, ANALYZE, DOWNLOAD, SOFTWARE and RUN for more information."
'help astral'.
"Surplus gear can be stowed in numerous locations. First off are storage lockers, available in a few places around the MUD. They can hold a small amount of gear and cost 50 nuyen a day for a maximum of 7 days. If you leave it for more than 7 days the locker is automatically cleared."
"Next is vehicles, how much a vehicle can hold varies greatly depending on the vehicle. You can store gear in bikes as well, but a word of warning, anyone can take it so it isn't a safe option."
"Apartments are the best way to store gear. Not only can you store surplus gear in them, but you can reload in them if you quit once while inside. Also, no one but yourself and anyone you specify with the HOUSE command can gain entrance. Apartments are also the most expensive."
"If you happen to find yourself in an apartment that you do not own and are locked in, use the LEAVE command to escape at any time."
"You can purchase credits here to help pay for an apartment in 10,000 credit lots using the RECHARGE command. These cards are non-transferable and can be used towards any apartment in the MUD."
'help rigging'.
"Driving is not too different from rigging. To enter a vehicle, first UNLOCK the vehicle and ENTER it. To begin driving, type DRIVE. To adjust speed, type SPEED (idle/cruise/speeding/max). To defend yourself from someone who's attacking your vehicle, you can RAM him, which will result in damage to your vehicle. If your vehicle is destroyed, all passengers and some of the stored materials inside will be flung out into the street, where they will take heavy crash damage in addition to being in the unenviable position of confronting whatever destroyed their vehicle. In the world of 2064, the isolated city-state of Seattle is surrounded by unfriendly nations, all of which firmly patrol their borders and shoot intruders on sight. It is not recommended that you attempt to drive past a border fortification."
"The man in this room also can sell a vehicle to you if you have the money for one. He won't give you the actual car itself, but he will give you a TITLE that you cash in for a vehicle at the end of the area. Driving isn't essential, however, as Seattle boasts an effective cab system: simply type HAIL when you're out on the street to flag down a cab. There is a sign here with basic details and information for the vehicles the dealer has for sale."

"Outside of character generation, you'll sometimes see items sold with a difficulty listed. These represent things that are hard to get ahold of. If you decide to purchase one of those items, you'll want to be familiar with the CHECK and RECEIVE commands. All times of order arrivals are by gameplay TIME."
"Here a decker or rigger can purchase the equipment they need to get their job done. Glass cases store CYBERDECKS, PROGRAMS, and UTILITIES, all of which are needed to successfully DECK the MATRIX. The core of a deck is the MPCP, as well as knowledge, so reading through these helpfiles will greatly advance ones ability to navigate the matrix. The SOFTWARE command will offer a view of a cyberdecks contents, so keep that in mind. Rigger equipment is also sold here, and various electronic devices are stored in storage lockers. A rather large showcase display case is also set up here, which offers information on the various cyberdecks being sold."

"The ambulance service in the Seattle Metroplex is handled by DocWagon. It's possible to purchase contracts with DocWagon for them to provide you with a premium service. Depending on the complexity of getting access to your location, and the level of your contract DocWagon can retreive you and all of your gear when you are on the verge of death, negating all penalties for mortal wounds. The higher the initial cost of the contract the more of a chance they will get to you in time and the cheaper it will be for each retreival."

"Here you can purchase from either armoured clothing, standard clothing or standard armour. All armour is legal in the world of 2064, except for military or security armour. Security armour needs a permit, but military armour can never be used by civilians."
"Most clothing comes with pockets, or attachments specially for holsters or ammo clips. These are used as standard containers, but if you are wearing the article of clothing then you can access what is inside as though it is in your inventory."
"Armoured clothing is sold in sets. Within these sets you may wear any combination of pieces you want and the layering rules will not come into effect. Infact you often get bonuses for wearing an entire set in the area of or 2 extra points of armour. This is not to say you can't wear one piece of armoured clothing with another set, you just won't receive the bonuses."
"This section of the Neophyte Guild will teach basic combat. Characters with high INITIATIVE tend to get more actions than their opponents. To initiate combat, type KILL (target). Once combat is engaged, you will have a limited number of actions you can perform in each combat round and movement does consume an action. Once you run out of actions you may find yourself waiting a moment for the game to tick over to the next combat round."
"Killing should only be initiated on MOBs (mobiles, computer controlled non-player characters). All of your kills will gain you karma and increase your NOTORIETY."
"Don't even think about trying to start a fight with another player unless you both have toggled your player-killer flags - you won't do any damage at all, whereas your opponent will be able to hurt you. Continue SOUTH to learn more about combat."
"This section will teach you about basic, same-room combat. When both opponents are in the same room, you can initiate a fight with the KILL command. If both characters are using melee weapons, they'll just duke it out. Likewise, if both characters are using firearms, they'll take turns shooting at each other."
"However, if one character is using a melee weapon and their opponent has a firearm, the melee wielder will need to "close the distance" using their QUICKNESS against the target's REACTION before they can try to attack their opponent. It is difficult to attack someone with a sword if they happen to be spraying you with full automatic fire. When a character wielding a gun in melee is attacked, they use the the butt of their gun as a CLUB."
"Attributes like QUICKNESS and BODY are very important for combat. INTELLIGENCE and WILLPOWER supplement your COMBAT POOL, which is also helpful. STRENGTH is useful for increasing the power of your attacks if you're using a melee weapon."
"Combat can also be initiated in other ways: Casting a combat spell on someone will start a fight, and casting spells in the middle of combat requires intense concentration- the harder the spell, the longer it will take to cast it."
"Keep in mind, Mana based spells do not affect inanimate objects such as training dummies. They are, however, affected by physical based spells."
"There are various options that can affect how a firearm works. The main is the type of ammo you currently have loaded, while only normal ammo is available here in Chargen there are 5 other types available in the outside world. You can find out more about these in HELP AMMO."
"The firing mode can also be changed on most weapons. Type MODE with your weapon wielded to see available fire modes and then MODE <SS/SA/BF/FA> to change it to the desired mode. The more rounds you fire at once the more damage and power your attacks have. Firing extra rounds also makes your attacks harder to dodge, but at the cost of also making it harder to hit due to recoil. "
"Recoil compensating attachments can help negate this however. A word of warning, while very powerful, burst fire shotguns and other heavy weapons suffer double the penalty from any recoil not negated by attachments."
"Tested your basic combat abilities on those training robots? Now it's time to learn about ranged attacks. If you're using a ranged weapon like a firearm, you can attack people from other rooms. Type SCAN now to see WEST into the Shooting Range. You can hit people in other rooms with the SHOOT command. To fire at someone, type SHOOT (target) (direction). Naturally, it is more difficult to shoot someone from far away than it is if they're in the same room: gun accessories like smartlinks, laser sights, gas vents, and scopes can make the task easier. Silencers and suppressors (See: Help Silencer) help keep your shooting activities attract less attention. Practice ranged combat here if you want, and head SOUTH to learn more about combat."
"Combat can be a difficult task. Thankfully, this section teaches you some commands that can make survival easier. If you've gone in over your head and started a fight with someone that you're losing, you can FLEE to try to run away. Fleeing will attempt to move your character out of the room through a random exit- you may escape the fight, or you may run into more opposition if you're not careful. For a more precise, but more difficult method of escaping combat, try to retreat. You can run away from a specific direction if you try to move in that direction. The WIMPY command can be used to set your character to automatically flee once they're wounded enough."
"What if you don't want to run away from a fight? To avoid getting hit, you have a COMBAT POOL. Your COMBAT POOL is determined by your QUICKNESS, INTELLIGENCE, and WILLPOWER attributes. In combat, your COMBAT POOL will add dice to either your dodge test, damage resistance test, or offensive dice rolls. To set your combat pool use the CPOOL command."
"Wounds: The weapons in Shadowrun all have a set, realistic DAMAGE rating: Light, Moderate, Serious, and Deadly. Based on the skill of your weapon handling, you can increase the amount of damage you deal to an opponent."
"Injuries can inflict penalties upon your character (and enemy mobs) due to the pain they cause. Other things can cause penalties too - such as it being too dark, mist, smoke, or your opponent being invisible. Knowing what TIME it is and taking a moment to SURVEY the room can help."
"Real-life injuries can be just as debilitating, and can be avoided through clever use of the ! command to reduce repetitive stress."

"The main purpose of this MUD is to have fun. Use SAY and EMOTE to RP if you want, constructing elaborate cyberpunk stories, or go around and kill everything if you wish. Only time this doesn't apply is if you are deliberately spoiling someone's fun."
"It is recommended you create a custom description to benefit more fully from the MUD. It is difficult to interact with others when you have no description set at all to describe what your character looks like. To set your descriptions, type CUSTOMIZE. Mages will have to make two descriptions: one for their physical body and one for their Astral reflection. The same goes for Deckers. For more detail, type HELP CUSTOMIZE and HELP DESCRIPTION."
"Prompts have been made completely customizable, and can show any number of things, see HELP PROMPT to utilize the PROMPT command."
"Many individuals utilize nicknames, street names or runner aliases in the shadows for all manner of reasons. The REMEMBER command will assist in putting a name to a face or voice you're familiar with while interacting, as well as allow you to craft your own namesake to offer others in turn."
Iserna |]newbie[| Sort of. Gameplay time determines if, for purposes of vis modifiers, the Sun is up or not. But if you're, like, standing inside in a bright room it doesn't directly matter.

Coil |]newbie[| If you probe weapons you'll see damage codes like 9M, that means they do M damage normally but can be staged up with extra successes on the attack roll. The number is the target number to soak the damage with Body and Cpool dice, though armor reduces the TN. Every 2 successes to soak reduces the damage by one stage (moderate to light, for example).

[Discord] (OOC), "[Khai]: IC attempt maneuvers by rolling against TN = your sensors, and resist your maneuvers by rolling against TN = your evasion. So 6 would be a good threshold for both. Assuming you don't want to dump evasion because you want to be able to play with maneuvers on occassion, I'd do 12 bod, 12 masking, 6 evasion, 6 sensors. The reason for 12 masking is so you can save some active memory space with 11 sleaze, since you'll find active memory maximums don't keep up with program size."
