I just wondered how other people handle some of the things we have house ruled on? Here are some things we have done.

Stun weapons/ The stun effect will only give +1TN penalty instead of +2.

Perm. Karma pool Burn/ Buying successes costs 1pt/success no matter how many are bought, and TN are lowered by -2/point still max of 8

Intiation/You have to wait Initiation grade*2 in weeks before you can initiate again.

The test made to get gear is made with the contacts appropriate skill (plus dice if it is higher lvl contact), the player's ettq skill can be used as complementary.


Karma spending/Anything that would normally cost karma(skills, attributes, spells etc.)that has a reduction to the cost always has a minimum cost of 1pt.

Foci Availability/The force rating will be added into all foci availability ratings.

Astral Quests/The number of astral quests that you can perform per month is equal to your intiation grade.

A few others that came up last night are the insane pimpedness of a shotgun and how impossible it is to do anything against a Doberman drone(no one on are team can even hurt one.)

And another big one we do is that karma pool come back after the run not scene. This helped keep PCs from getting insane too quickly and it also helped close the gap between more and less experienced runners.
