Quality Conversion, This Karma thing is weird Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

[ProfGast]

So I'm trying out some character creation in SR5 and one of the things that makes me miss looking at 4A is the absolute dearth of Qualities to pick from. Granted they did pick and choose a number of the better ones from Runner's Companion, but I wanted more.

Unfortunately when trying to convert from 4 to 5, I ran into some problems: the Karma cost do not reflect proportionate BP cost at all seemingly and I can't really see any rhyme or reason on why one thing would be 7 karma while another is 4.


Quick Healer (5 BP) is now 3 karma
Ambidextrous (5BP) is now 4 karma
Human Looking (5BP) is now 6 karma
Blandness (10BP) now 8 karma
Jury Rigger (10BP) is now 10 karma
Aptitude (10BP) is now 14 karma (okay this one makes a bit more sense sense skill caps were raised but still)
Exceptional Attribute (20BP) now 14 karma
Lucky (20BP) now 12 karma


I can't seem to find any sort of rhyme or reason.

What would you guys put for
Restricted Gear (5BP)?
Inspired (5BP)? Would you have it work for Performance AND Artisan? Make Performance have its own?
How about negative Qualities?
Signature (10BP)
In debt (Variable BP)

Is there any way I can consistently convert? Or should I just wait for actual supplements and make do?
