Clon01 Database - Cyberpunk 2020

INTELLIGENCE (INT)
This measures your ability to comprehend and solve problems, notice things, remember information, etc.

REFLEXES (REF)
Your reaction speed and precision in relation to the world. This attribute determines how you spring into action in dangerous situations and move ahead of everyone else. It also affects your accuracy in combat situations where manual dexterity isn't as important.

DEXTERITY (DEX)
A measure of your agility and manual dexterity. This is exemplified by athletic feats, coordination in combat, and the ability to move with the grace of a cat.

COOL (CL)
This indicator measures how well your character handles stress, fear, pressure, physical pain, and/or torture. Cool is essential for determining your willingness to fight despite injuries or your ability to battle in the midst of a crossfire.

TECHNICAL ABILITY (TECH)
Indicates how well you relate to hardware and other technical matters. In Cyberpunk, the ability to use and repair technology is of vital importance. TECH is the attribute used when fixing, repairing, or attempting to use unknown technology.

LUCK (LK)
It's that intangible something that tips the scales of events in your favor. Your Luck represents how many points you can use in each session to influence the outcome of an event.

ATTRACTIVENESS (ATT)
This value reflects how good-looking you are. In Cyberpunk, it's not enough to be skilled; you have to maintain a good image while you're doing something (Attitude is Everything). Note that attractiveness isn't just physical; it also includes personal magnetism, charisma, and savoir-faire.

MOVEMENT ALLOWANCE (MA)
Indicates how fast your character can move (important in combat situations). The higher your MA, the farther you can move in one turn. Specifically, you can run MAx3 in one round and jump (MAx3)/4.

EMPATHY (EMP)
This characteristic represents how well you relate to other living beings. It measures charisma and sympathetic emotions. In a world of alienated survivors, the ability to be "human" can't be taken for granted. Empathy is vital when leading, convincing, seducing, or perceiving hidden emotions.

BODY TYPE (BT)
Strength, endurance, and constitution are based on your character's BT. BT determines how much damage you can withstand, how much weight you can carry or lift, how far you can throw something, how well you recover from shock, and how much extra damage you deal in physical attacks. You can carry weight equal to your BT times 10 in kg. You can also lift 40 times your BT in kg.

Death Save (DS)
Your Death Save is equal to your BT. Each time you take damage, you'll have to make a saving throw (roll equal to or less than your DS on 1d10) or become stunned. If you reach a mortal state, in addition to the shock save, you'll need to make a saving throw to avoid death.

Wounds & Damage
Additionally, your BT defines your BTM a modifier applied to all your wounds when you receive damage. It also serves to calculate your damage bonus when fighting hand to hand or in melee.

Street Samurai

The ultimate street warrior. With a personal code of honor and (usually) a disdain for authorities and governments that exploit the population. They are a kind of Vigilante who takes on all sorts of jobs that align with their worldview while fighting for their ideals.

Cop

Prowler

The thief of the future. You began by pickpocketing and shoplifting, but as your skills improved, so did your ambitions. No matter how good the security of a place, how many guards it has, or how dangerous it may be. If you want what's inside, you'll acquire it without anyone noticing.

Streetpunk

You are part of a street gang. For you, they are your family. They sheltered you, educated you, and taught you to survive in an unforgiving world. To you, family is everything, and you always help one another. While the world may fear street gangs and crews, it doesn't mean they all have to be bad... but that doesn't matter; what truly matters is that no one messes with your brothers.

Techie

To be honest, you prefer machines over people. You've always had a knack for them, assembling and disassembling them at will, each time with a new purpose. Your ability to improvise with your hands would make MacGyver envious. You can bring any device back to life, and if not, you can surely salvage it for something new.

Medtechie

You're part surgeon, part mechanic, capable of fixing a jammed cybernetic spine as well as reviving a stopped heart. Whether it's healing someone or implanting a new gadget under the skin, everyone ends up in your hands.

Initial Equipment

When you buy things for your characters, keep in mind that many of them are illegal. You're not restricted from doing so... but if the police (corporate or not) catch you, you'll end up in jail in no time (for example, carrying an automatic weapon carries a sentence of 5 to 7 years in prison). That's if they don't shoot you first, after all, we're under Martial Law. If you think today's police don't hesitate to beat or shoot, you can't imagine what it's like in the future.

Having said that, remember to buy more than just weapons and armor... unless you want to walk everywhere, for instance.

However, initially, you don't have to worry about where you sleep. You all have a (very) small housing secured in the "moderate" zone. If you want more luxury than that, you'll have to pay.

Implants and Their Costs

If you implant things, remember that implants have surgery codes. That's what it costs to go to a hospital and have it installed. If you have a medical friend, they can do it for you, but we'll roll the dice and see if your character even starts the game :D

These costs are in the basic manual, before and after the cyberimplant tables (page 75). But here's the summary just in case you're looking for it in the manual:

Surgery Code	Cost
Negligible (N)	0 cr
Minor (M)	500 cr
Major (MA)	1500 cr
Critical (CR)	2500 cr

For example, a cyberoptic has the code (MA) in the table, so it costs 500ed + 1500ed.

On the other hand, dermal weave has the code (N), so it only costs 2000ed (it's an injection of nanomachines after all).

Besides that, each implant has a cost in humanity points. Less invasive implants have few points, while major reconstructions come with a high humanity cost that the body doesn't always handle well.

Humanity and Cyberpsychosis

You have as many humanity points as (BT + CL + EMP) x 3. When you get implants, you subtract points, and if you run out of humanity points, it means you've crossed a line you shouldn't have. At that moment, your character's fate rests in the hands of the Game Master, who will decide if you simply kick the bucket because your body collapses, or if you fall into cyberpsychosis.

If the Game Master deems it appropriate, they may ask you to make a CL test when you're in a stressful situation (whether in combat or otherwise). If you fail, you'll have a -1 penalty to your actions for every 10 humanity points you've lost. If the Game Master makes you do many of these tests, they might be a bit of a sadist... or someone is dangerously close to crossing the line.

Note for Cyberpunk Veterans

You'll notice that the skill list has changed slightly. The changes are as follows:

Fighting and hand-to-hand combat are merged into a single skill, "Melee Combat" or "Melee."
Wardrobe & Style and Personal Grooming are merged into a single skill, "Style."
All small arms are fired with Marksmanship, unless you want to fire using automatic fire (like burst or full auto settings). If that's the case, you use the Autofire skill.
In addition, some class-specific special abilities are different, such as Combat Sense no longer adding to initiative but providing another benefit.

Humanity points have also changed. They are no longer solely based on EMP (which made all mercenaries start as lovely individuals to become walking toasters). They also do not decrease EMP skills.

It's fine to have cyberpsychos, but I also don't want to limit non-combat options or have every conversation reduced to monosyllabic exchanges among chrome-covered folks.

Implants and Physical Connections

Now, an easy question to ask is... why are there still so many things physically connected with cables? Aren't wireless connections a thing? Of course they are, and people use them daily for a multitude of things like... connecting to their phone or playing with a console controller.

But when you're driving through the city or firing a gun, the last thing you want is a hacker messing with your connection and controlling your gear, or encountering a signal jammer that prevents you from connecting to anything. So the rule is simple: non-critical things have wireless connections, things that risk your life have physical connections.

All Interface Plugs come with wireless capability as standard (in addition to the cable). It's the equipment itself that determines whether you'll need to use the cable.
