Build 184:
Application Changes:
- New ImprovementType: ReplaceAttribute. This allows you to replace the metatype
minimum or metatypemaximum with another value. Intended to be used for infected.
- Fixed an issue where Chummer warned about free Knowledge Skills still being av
ailable instead of Active Skills.
- Fixed incorrect rounding for Weapon Ranges.
- Fixed incorrect rounding for Armor capacity.
- Fixed incorrect rounding for Armor Mod capacity.
- Fixed incorrect rounding for Gear capacity.
- Properly allowed the 'free item' checkbox to be visible even in character crea
tion. Fixes #1059.
- Added an option to toggle all sourcebooks on and off in the Options menu. Fixe
s #971.
- Attempting to add gear with the 'Stack' checkbox selected in career mode will
only cause items to stack if they have the same child items by default. This pre
vents loaded spare clips from duplicating, for example. Fixes #1015.
- Fixed an incorrect label for skill improvements in the Karma/Nuyen Expense His
tory. Fixes #1046.
- Fixed an issue that caused knowledge skills to revert their type to Interest.
Fixes #1056.
- Added an option to treat arms and legs as the only limbs to average cyberlimb
stats off, instead of the skull and torso that are suggested by RAW. As part of
this, the options have been broken out into a new XML file, options.xml. Minor d
esign note, I intend to eventually have every calculation variable kept outside
of the application logic itself; this will allow GMs to configure their characte
rs as they wish.
- Fixed an issue with Adept Powers with multiple levels granted by a Mentor Spir
it not apply properly. If your character is affected by this, you should be able
to use the Reapply Improvements option in the Special menu to recalculate it pr
operly. Fixes #1057.
- Added an option to give cyberware a markup cost in career mode. Fixes #1072.
- Fixed an issue that prevented knowledge skill ratings from updating correctly
when adding bonuses from sources like cyberware. Fixes #1073.

es when reapplying Improvements. Fixes #1038.
- Added a menu option in the Special menu to confirm that a character is ready t
o move into Career mode. Fixes #1053.
- Fixed an issue that prevented more than one Spare Clip from adding additional
Ammo slots.
- Fixed an issue that prevented dicepool/rating modifiers from being visible to
character sheets.
- Added a Display Category for skill categories. In practice, this means that pr
intouts will use the localised name for skill categories instead of the default
English. If you need to use the English string in a character sheet for some rea
son, use the value skillcategory_english instead.
- Fixed an issue with adept powers that have specified maximum ranks causing a c
rash.
- Fixed an issue where changing your priority selection would remove MAG/RES-lin
ked skills.
- Fixed a issue where Chummer would crash if, while searching for a spell, no ma
tches was found.

folder to monitor in the Options menu, under Character and Printing.
- Fixed a crash issue for characters that have cyberlimbs.
- Fixed some crash issues with custom PACKs kits with lifestyles.

adding trauma patches to a medkit. May have some issues, but should be function
al. Fixes #814.

- Added some code to suppress errors caused by faulty XSL transforms in characte
r sheets.
- Implemented the Blackmail and Family options for contacts.

the selected value up to the bonus source. Generally speaking, prevents Infecte
d qualities from getting (BOD) or whatever added to their treenode.

decrease the multiplier for Running and Sprinting from x2/x4.
- Fixed a UI issue that prevented attribute bonuses from showing properly if the
value made it into double digits.
- Changed the code to calculate character movement rates. To do this, I've added
three attributes to the metatype: Walk, Run and Sprint. Each of these is split
into three number (Walk, Swim and Fly in order).
- Temporarily removed the CalculatedMovementSpeed tooltip from caeer and creatio
n mode until it gets refacted.
- Added a workaround to prevent crashes when loading characters with empty knowl
edge skills. Fixes #1099.
- Refactored how the PDF options work; instead of being hard-coded with a bunch
of check-boxes, it's now possible to generate your own parameters. Standard para
meters have already been included in options.xml, but the default options are no
t necessarily a match for your previous settings.
- The "ignoreprecedence" improvement attribute has been renamed to "precedence-1
".
- The initiativepass and initiativepassadd improvements now utilise precedence v
alues to manage their stacking; this allows adding Improvements that will always
apply, such as the Infected Initiative die bonuses.
- Fixed an issue with Cyberlimbs that caused a crash when printing.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Knowledge/Contact multiplier house rules fro
m enabling correctly.
- Changed the string Tip_SkillsKnowledgeSkills to display the correct multiplier
entry.
- SHOULD have fixed an issue where Active Skill controls would overlap the Skill
Group controls while in higher-DPI settings, blocking the karma numericupdown i
n creation mode.
- Added proper translation for the quality nodes in the Select Advanced Lifestyl
es form.
- Fixed an issue with the Matrix condition monitor.
Data Changes:
- Fixed the Infected qualities to work according to the rules. Characters with p
revious versions of the quality should reapply their improvements, characters th
at used the terrible metavariant idea will not load properly and should be rebui
lt from scratch. If you've been affected by this, please get in contact with me
and I'll fix your character for you. Mostly fixes #689.

ngs.

- Fixed an issue with the Reaction Optimization bioware not applying its initiat
ive bonus.

tion Optimization.

eet.

ed sourcebooks and the application's selected sourcebooks. Won't affect characte

l have to be edited manually to remove the improvements, which will have a sourc
ename of Heritage and an improvedname of whatever the skill is. Fixes #880.
- Fixed a bug where changing between technomancers and mages would leave both re
sonance and magical skills available. Fixes #890.
- Altered the uniquename for the Damage Resistance improvement to allow stacking
, instead of using the highest single bonus. This may be wrong, but I can't find
any RAW statements against it. Fixes #879.
- Fixes a UI localization issue where skill attributes defaulted to BOD. Fixes #
897.
- Fixed a UI issue that stopped a character as needing to be saved if the skills
were updated in career mode. Fixes #899.
- Added Option for not showing metagenetic qualities. Fixes #889.
- Added Physical Limit as accuracy for infected natural weapons.
- Fixed freezing when removing a Specialization and Skill Dicepools now refresh

s #908.

Build 180:
Application Change:
- Total rewrite of skills.
* Eliminated a lot (all?) old bugs
* Opening the skills tab first time is now signifigantly faster
* Searchbox for skills
* Custom sorting of skills. Sort by Rating, Dicepool, Category and more
* Skill tooltip now display dicepools for cyberarms
* In Career mode, it is possible to calculate the dicepool using another att
ribute that the default one.
* Some minor UI changes to acomodate new skill features
* Skills that cannot be defaulted has their name in italics.
* Easier maintainance
* Reduced file size
- First things first, good news bad news. Good news, automatic updates will be f
unctional again for updates after 179. Bad news, due to a change in implementati
on of the automatic updates this brings an end to .Net 4.0 support. Chummer will
no longer launch without .Net 4.5 or higher installed on your system.
- Rewrote crash handling. Now dumps most/all internal state, making debugging ea
sier.
- Built-in weapon accessories are automatically assigned to the Internal accesso
ry slot by default. If a weapon accessory should take up a slot naturally, just
add a <mount> value to the accessory. This change only affects newly created/pur
chased weapons, so any existing weapons will need to be altered manually or dele
ted and re-added. Fixes #566.
- Ammunition can now add and replace the fire modes of weapons, using the firemo
de and firemodereplace nodes of weaponbonus. This change only takes effect durin
g career mode, and is currently used exclusively for the Taurus Omni-6's heavy a
mmo type. Fixes #577.
- Fixed a crash issue caused by changing priority selection in Sum to Ten mode.
Fixes #572.
- Qualities can have their Limit assigned as either 'no' or a numeric value. Thi
s is intended as something of a placeholder until proper levels for qualities ar
e implemented at a later date.
- Support for AI characters added. Xeno/Protosapients and E-Ghosts are treated a
s Metavariants.
- Weapon Accessories can now modify the AP, Damage and FireMode of weapons using
the damage, damagereplace, damagetype, ap, apreplace, firemode and firemoderepl
ace keys. Currently this is used exclusively for the Overclocked mod (Okay techn
ically it's currently an accessory, but there's no practical difference between
the two at the moment so it goes where I say it goes.) Fixes #472
- Handling for vehicles has been split up into normal and offroad handling. The
implementation method should prevent any issues from cropping up, but I've eaten
my hat on that before.
- Calendar entries can now be removed. Fixes #552.
- The optional rule to have Essence Loss only reduce RES/MAG maximums has been r
e-enabled. Fixes #596.
- Each spare clip added to a weapon now tracks ammo individually rather than the
previous hard-coded limit of four active slots. As a result of this change, Spa
re Clips no longer have the ability to directly store ammunition as a child item
; they will be updated to display their currently loaded ammunition as an Extra
value shortly.
- New key node for Weapon Accessories: ammoslot. ammoslot is an integer that add
s the associated number of 'spare clip' items to the parent weapon. In most case
s this will be 1 (Spare Clip, Speed Loader, etc.), but someone will probably com
e up with banana magazines that count as two mags or something eventually. Futur
e proofing!
- Qualities can now add natural weapons directly using the naturalweapons node.
Mostly this is for the infected, because "Bite (Infected) 2" offends me.
- Fixed a string formatting issue that prevented Accuracy modifications from ade
pt powers from working properly for translated Chummer.
- Fixed an issue that prevented priority/sum-to-ten from using the gameplay opti
ons for their nuyen limit.
- Sum to Ten and Priority now use the same form for character generation. Doesn'
t mean anything particularly interesting for you guys, but may reduce or introdu
ce some interesting new bugs.
- Contacts can now be dragged around and reordered according to your whims. It's
only really easy to do when the control you want to move is expanded.
- Armor can now have a Rating; currently this is used exclusively for the cloaks
from Hard Targets.
- Fixed the percentage discount for basic lifestyles.
- Fixed a translation issue for licences.
- Fixed a translation issue for basic lifestyles. Fixes #608.
- Armor improvements can now use Precedence attributes; this means that we can p
revent a group of armour improvements from stacking with each other. Currently t
his is used for a small selection of skin-related qualities and biowares. See th
e Data Changes for more details. Fixes #602.
- Fixed an issue with advanced lifestyles that created zombie qualities. Fun for
the vodoun and shedim, everyone else not so much. Fixes #583.
- Fixed an issue that prevented infected from moving to career mode.
- Added a tooltip for the Movement label in the Other Info tab to show the calcu
lated movement speed in meters per combat turn or Kilometres per Hour. Implement
s #574.
- Note tooltips now have a maximum with of 100 pixels. Prevents the tooltips for
contact descriptions and such from running across the whole screen. There's a g
ood chance I missed one or two, so let me know if you see any. Fixes #581.
- Fixed an issue relating to the Improved Ability power causing other powers to
revert to 0 ranks. Fixes #488, fixes #436, fixes #378.
- Fixed an issue with Improved Ability and exotic weapon skills not working toge
ther. Fixes #492.
- Fixed adept powers to stack properly with free levels from qi foci and mentor
spirits. May break in interesting ways. Should fix #615.
- Matrix initiative can now benefit from the MatrixIniaitivePass improvement. Fi
xes #618.
- Added support for FixedValues for vehicle mods. Fixes #622.
- Exotic Weapon skills without any karma spent on them can now be removed once y
ou've entered career mode.
- Exotic Weapon skills can now properly have their karma costs refunded in caree
r mode.
- Exotic Weapon skills can't change their specialisation dynamically anymore onc
e you're in career mode, because it breaks the karma refund. This is intentional
and is unlikely to be changed unless you can present me with better-implemented
code or a reason it shouldn't be like it is.
- Skill specializations will now save their value as the English string if possi
ble rather than whatever the user enters; this should fix #595. Note that this f
ix is PROBABLY not retroactive.
- Fixed some issues with lifestyle qualities not saving properly if they contain
ed an extra value. Fixes #623.
- Active Hardwires now implemented according to the rules, fixes #617. They're e
ffectively similar to skillwires, but you select the affected skill at the time
of purchase. They're currently mutually exclusive, so you can't have skillwires
and hardwires affecting the same skill. As with skillwires, the character's actu
al rating and their hardwire rating don't stack.
- Fixed an issue that prevented accessories that came with a weapon from being f
lagged as Internal.
- Fixed some calculation issues for priority metatypes not showing the correct k
arma value when changing from a metavariant to a base metatype. Fixes #537.
- Fixed a crash with metavariants in Priority/Sum to Ten. Fixes #647.
- Fixed a crash caused by weapon accessories that have a cost based on rating. F
ixes #650, fixes #656.
- Added spell defence calculations in a tab on the right side of the career and
creation windows. Closes #573.
- Changed the Improved Potential powers to use the limit modifier bonus instead
of selectlimit; makes it a bit neater.
- Did some stuff to enable selecting multiple powers through the selectpower bon
us node. This shouldn't affect any existing characters, but if you're using the
Chaos Mentor Spirit I'd recommend deleting it and removing it. This miiiiight al
so break existing characters with Qi Foci. Probably not though. Like 70/30 at mo
st.
- Did various shenanigans with the karma selection form to make it show qualitie
s and karma costs properly.
- Rebuilt the functionality for Black Market Pipeline nad the Dealer Connection
quality. Both should now work properly; there's a teeny tiny chance that existin
g characters that have the qualities might break, please raise a ticket if so.
- Fixed a crash caused by adding Genemods to a character with the Burnout's Way.
Fixes #674.
- Fixed a UI issue that left the dropdown null when switching between genemods a
nd bioware. Fixes #674.
- Enabled Vehicle Modifications to gain flat increases to Speed,Handling or Acce
leration based on the Rating of the mod. Partial fix for #675.
- Fixed a visual bug with Limit Modifiers in creation mode. Fixes #665.
- Expanded the category selection mechanism to support falling back to default v
alues. The general idea is that for each priority category loaded, it will attem
pt to load nodes that have a gameplayoptions node. If it can't do that, it'll lo
ad the Standard settings instead. This is intended to support alternate gameplay
options as requested by #357. The actual data will need to be added for the app
ropriate categories, which I really can't be bothered transcribing.
- New Feature: Weapon Mounts will now limit the available weapons based on a pre
defined list of weapon categories. This also enables the weapon mounts added in
Rigger 5.0 for adding weapons. I'm not particularly happy with how this looks in
the XML so the underlying code might get changed over time. For now it's all go
od though.
- Fixed an issue that prevented magic- or reseonance-enabled karma-created chara
cters from moving to Career mode.

contact points, knowledge points, skill points and such before moving to Career
mode.

tiline forms Fixes #693.
- Fixed a crash caused by loading custom Critters related to movement strings.
- Fixed the display of Locations created by cybewrware or weapons with AllowGear
properties. Fixes #536.
- Added some support for creating an Ally Spirit, per #244. Not 100% RAW yet, bu
t it doesn't crash so that's a start.
- Added support for enabling calculated Public Awareness, per the rules from SR4
. Hides the tooltips and calculations if not in use.
- Fixed the creation method for custom packs kits to not treat included mods as
being purchased. Should fix #707 and fix #691.
- Save files is now in UTF-8 instead of UTF-16. This should not have any visible
impact but it is more tool frindly and leads to smaller files
- Fixed an issue where qualities that add other qualities for free didn't discou
nt properly. Fixes #762.
- Fixed an issue where default build methods other than Karma would cause a cras
h while launching the Options menu. Fixes #796.

when printing. Fixes #772.

heet caused a crash. Fixes #774.

l value of your CHA or LOG+INT. Fixes #783.

vement enabled. Fixes #660. Note: Characters that have already been affected by
this bug will need to manually remove the improvement.
- Fixed the ability to switch between adepts, magicians or technomancers when ch
anging priority selections. Fixes #745.
- Added a method for grouping armour value improvements with the 'group' attribu
te. Fixes #758.
- Fixed an issue that prevented some old characters from being saved. Fixes #806
.
- Added and consolidated some code to update initiation costs and discounts prop
erly. Fixes #810.
- Implemented a minor quality of life update; the most recently used folder loca
tion is not stored for mugshots, per character. Fixes #458.
- Contacts, spirits and pets can now be linked to non-Chummer files; when clicki
ng on the Open Character Sheet button, the file will be opened in the default ap
plication for that extension. Fixes #636.
- Prime runners now get twice the amount of free contacts compared to standard
- Essence Hole value is not impacted by grade or ware essence cost reductions. Y
ou don't get a little essence back each time now. Fixes #673
- "Test Subject" and "Factory Child Worker" life modules now give bonus nuyen. F
ixes #811
- Fixed a crash caused when saving characters without mugshots.
- Fixed an incorrect value for binding spirit services. Fixes #827.
- Fixed karma costs for the Inspired quality from Sail Away, Sweet Sister in kar
magen. Fixes #828.

any changes you make. Should fix #700.

t" option in Karma and Life Module mode.

Cost. Fixes #845.

es #846.

rity.

ere's a minor issue that preserves the skill name until the character is next lo
aded that will be fixed later.

xpanded to other forms in later patches.

- Life Module backstories are now generated by a button press on the Character I
nfo page.
- Print Preview mode is accessible from a context menu in the Character Print Vi
ewer.
- Vehicles, Cyberware and Drones now have a Matrix Condition Monitor tracker. No
te; the cyberware CM is effectively limited to 'root' devices, as in cyberlimbs,
Wired Reflexes, things you wouldn't normally expect to be attached to other thi
ngs. While I can fiddle with this setting easily enough, a bit of internal testi
ng just left my testers confused as to whether they were bricking the parent dev
ice or not. Looking for feedback on this.
- Refactored a chunk of the Improvements code to use the new Log formatting. Mos
tly just stops it from throwing warnings at me during builds, but is a bit more
human-readable.

.

or the Extended Clip modifier.
- Fixed a calculation issue for lifestyle qualities.
- Fixed some issues that cropped up for 'ware that adds qualities (Daredrenaline

- Implemented support for selecting the slot that a weapon modiciation occupies.

re clips again.

- Hard Nanoware from Chrome Flesh has been added. Because of the way it interact
s with cyberware, the Implant Medic is listed as a piece of cyberware.

changed to <accessories><accessory<name>Whatever</name></accessory></accessories
>. Existing characters should load properly; please contact me if you run into a
ny issues with this.
- Fixed a crash caused by the Extended Clip.
- Added Nanoware from Chrome Flesh.
- Proper bonuses added for most of the genetech from Chrome Flesh. Myostatin Inh
ibitor still doesn't have the karma discount, because it's tedious to implement.
- Fixed the minimum INT for Wakyambi to 2.
- Holdouts have had the <allowaccessory> tag set to true as a result of code cha
nges to how accessories can be attached to a weapon. May not take effect on exis
ting weapons; if not, remove and re-add the weapon.

- Removed the Sail Away, Sweet Sister version of the Personalised Grip, as it's
replaced by the Hard Targets version.

Build 176:
Application Change:
- Gauss Ammo is now considered ammo for heavy weapons instead of normal guns.
- Free contacts don't violate the (C+L)>7 limit when creating a character. This
allows prime dataheaven membership to pass inspection...

uests for a quality to be implemented within a month of the book coming out, tha
t quality is broken.
- Made some changes to the calculation method for a character's Metagenetic Limi
t. Fixes an issue with the changeling limit being set incorrectly to 0 or making

nts that have multiple levels.

Data Change:
- Poor Self Control (Attention Seeking, Sadistic) now properly grant karma.
- First-pass addition of Hard Targets content has been added. Big thanks to Redd
it's /u/Fweeba and HaikenEdge.
Some provisional issues:
- Adept Spell does not work properly.
- There are a few items that use Ratings in ways that haven't previously bee
n required (Ie, the cloaks), so they're not as clean as I'd otherwise like.
- Ares Thuderstruck Gauss Rifle renamed to Ares Thunderstruck Gauss Rifle.
- The Fame qualities provide the associated Public Awareness increases.
- Added prompts for sides (Left, Right) for most cyberware that could reasonably
be expected to need it.
- The Improved Potential power has been split up into three different powers, du
e to the way it works. Characters that have the existing power should work fine.
- Bioware Limbs from Chrome Flesh added.
- Additional Life Modules added. Most Life Modules now have a random story attac
hed. The bulk of these stories are jokes, because it's good to laugh. Note: Chec
king and unchecking the Automatic Backstory checkbox on the Character Info page
will select new random values, if they're present.
- Removed the Extravagant Eyes metagenetic quality.
- Fixed Karma values for the Cyclops Eye, Vestigial Tail and Feathers metageneti

String Changes:
- Message_CharacterOptions_OpenOptions

Build 174:
Application Change:
- Calculation of Essence discounts is now multiplicative instead of additive. I
am assured this is a good thing.

tings file, please reset to defaults by clicking Tools > Options > Karma Costs >
 Reset to Default.
- Issues with Sum to Ten character generation artifically granting a MAG value h
igher than the metatype maximum should be fixed. I expect it'll break again in a

hicles.

ot particularly happy with the implementation for this; feedback appreciated.
Data Change:
- Magical Education Life Module now has a proper karma cost; prevents crashes.
- Myostatin Inhibitor genemod now adds 1 Strength. The karma cost needs addition
al code support and hasn't been implemented properly yet.

or Self Control.
- Fixed an issue with the Net weapon that caused a crash.

- Added French translations courtesy of sethsatan.
Build 173:
Application Change:
- Dumpshock link changed to issue tracker.
- A First-pass effort at adding a filter for Missions-restricted items has been
added to the Options menu. Will be getting a later review to enable better filte
ring of the qualities, but for now it's just a global option.
- Fixed a bug with life modules where Tr Tairngire wouldn't show demographics.
- Chummer now handles essence holes automatically. Old items may need to be re-a
dded.
- College Education/School of Hard Knocks/Linguist and Jack of All Trades work p
roperly for knowledge skills during character creation. Again.
- Most of the functionality for Infected has been implemented. Todo: Fix up the
free attribute gain to not use qualities because it's ugly, and put in the data
files content.
- N of M contact points in priority build works again.
- Fixed an issue where chummer failed to open when clicking on a .chum5 file.
- Implemented functionality for the quality "Friends in High Places".
- Save/Load methods for Advanced Lifestyles should actually work properly now, b
ut it's still a bit fragile. Bugs are to be expected, particularly if you change
your mind a lot.
- Most issues with adepts getting levels of powers from multiple sources should
be resolved. (Mentor Spirits, Foci, etc.)
- Rounding issue for Recoil Compensation from Strength resolved.
- Variable costs for Qualities enabled to support the Rank quality. May eventual
ly lead into redoing the way Qualities with multiple ratings work, because High
Pain Tolerance (Rating 6) offends me every time I scroll past it.
Data Change:
- Organising data file contents into regions to keep things easy to work with.
- Rank Quality added.
- The Debug Lifestyle has been hidden.
- Lifemodules no longer contains a "Magical Education (Archetype)".
- Tr is now spelled correctly a few more places.
- Equipment, Weapon and Ammo PACKs from run faster added.
There are a couple of important caveats with this:
First, we generally haven't bothered to input PACKs that are a single item.
If someone would like to write them up then that's fine, but there's only so man
y hours of data entry one can do.
Second, items that don't currently exist haven't been added in, like backpac
ks. Again, mostly a tedium thing but the PACKs code doesn't play nice with Custo
m Item and I don't like littering up the data files with fluff items.
Items not added include:
- Backpack.
- Sound-link on the earbuds.
- Disposable inhaler from Cheap Soldier Pack.
- Orange vest from Sportsman Pack.
- Reusable Syringe from Tranq Darter Pack and Tranq Pistol Darter Pack.
- Bug-out bag's dufflebag.
- Mechanic Shop's duct-tape.
- Surveillance pack's Periscope.
- Infiltration Kit contains a Micro-Transceiver on the assumption that tha
t's the correct item.
- Medium Machine gunner pack doesn't contain ammo belts, but does come wit
h the ammo.
- Ammo packs not added as stacks split among multiple types of weapons is not
possible in Chummer5a.
- Rigger Pack gets Reaction Enhancers instead of the mythical reflex enhancers
. Come on guys, it's a list of items. Seriously, if you need an editor I'm sure
there's tons of people who'd be happy to sign an NDA.
- Big Boom Pistoleer pack has 190 rounds of heavy regular amunition, because C
hummer doesn't care about your brass.
- Most lifestyles ignored, per the 'we can't be bothered adding single items'
policy mentioned above.
- Gunbunny pack not added as it contains unattached accessories, which Chummer
doesn't currently like handling. To be added in a future patch.
- Some custom packs added from reddit's shadowrun comunitieswith permission fr
om /u/NotB0b and ShadowNET SysOp.
- Fixed an issue with the Extreme Cyberimplant and Junkyard Jaw from Chrome Fl
esh.
- Pulse Weave costs Rating * 3000.

- Due to the return of Move-By-Wire, Initiative is no longer capped to your REA+
INT's augmented maximum.

- The cap for Qualities is now based on your Gameplay Option. For example, a Pri
me Runner can spend up to 35 Karma on Positive qualities, and gain 35 from Negat
ive qualities.
- Compability mode added. Chummer should now **run** on .NET 4.0, but some stuff
might not work, and we (the Chummer5a team) won't provide support.
- Fixed a bug where advanced (and normal?) lifestyles would crash on other langu
ages
- More specific spirit data is available for charsheets to use.
- Chummer now has a crash reporter. If Chummer encounters an error it can't reco
ver from, it will (if given permision) send a data package (hopefully) identifyi
ng the source of the crash.
- Chummer now won't pretend you have 25 BP in SumToTen/Priority build modes
- Fixed edge case where Sum To Ten would ask for a karma amount like Karma/Life
Module builds
- Prime Data Haven now automatically creates/removes an appropriate 5C/3L contac
t.
- Cyberware can now add qualities. Not particularly happy with the implementatio
n, but it works.
- Cyberware can have a metatype restriction.
- Born Rich quality works properly.
- The Select Bioware/Cyberware form can now display a special notes text field t
o indicate weird workaroundy stuff that I can't be bothered fixing with code.
- For example, Striking Calluses are treated as a Rating item, with the Note
s field explaining why. Currently has no support for translations.
- Essence Discount house rule enabled. Can be used to emulate the Prototype Tran
shuman quality for you munchkin mages that need your pain editors and whatnot un
til I get around to implementing it properly.
- Fixed an issue with the incorrect cap being used for spell selection. There's
still a couple of UI failures that need to be resolved, but they're a relatively
low priority.
Data Change:
- The Water Sprite quality confers +2 to Diving and Swimming, instead of prompti
ng you to select one of them.
- Machine Pistols were missing a few accessory slots; they can now mount stocks
and such.
- Cyberware Holdout Pistol typo fixed.
- Gameplay Options have been moved into their own XML file, gameplayoptions.xml.
- Added the missing qualities "Poor Self Control (Sadistic)" and "Poor Self Cont
rol (Attention-Seeking)"
- Lifestyles.xml GUIDs populated to support the language fix.
- Adapsin bioware properly discounts cyberware costs.
- Fire Modes for the Colt Inception have been fixed.
- Metatype Reduction has been added. Due to the differing benefits, it is split
up into two different items for Orks and Trolls, respectively.
- Troll Reduction has been added.
- Assorted bits of cosmetic bioware and bio-weapons from Chrome Flesh have been
added.
- Life Modules have been added from all existing source books, courtesy of joha4
270 and angelforest. Functionality is complete-ish, but there are some awkward m

risma times X" rule.
- Fixed an issue with the Critical Strike power that caused a crash, due to the
name being changed.

sn't work quite right, so it's recommended to make a new character if you want t
o do this.
- Genemods and Symbionts are locked to Standard grade properly.
- Internal changes to how some values are stored. Shouldn't affect characters.
- Added support for building characters with Life Modules.

ght side of the skill.
| Only debug life modules have been created thus far; any assistance in writ
ing up the data for this would be greatly appreciated.
| Selecting Life Modules will pre-generate a Background for your character.

nt is still in the early stages, but is more or less functional. Full thanks to
joha4270 for implementing this.

New collaborator on the project acquired! joha4270 has been assisting with a var
iety of issues, and is currently tackling the implementation of Life Modules, al
ong with several other tricky problems. Huzzah!

item is also equipped. Not super happy with the code, but I'm also tired of look
ing at it, so eh.
- Undocumented inherited feature of the day: the <armoroverride> key supports Cu
stom Fit. If an item with the Custom Fit (Stack) mod is equipped, and has an Ext
ra value that matches another equipped piece of armour, the armour value of the
item will be changed to the override value.
- Character creation validation now checks for Betaware/Deltaware and stops you

issues: Made Man and karma costs don't update properly.
Data Change:

tiplier.

- Added an optional rule to generate free contacts during Point Buy. Currently w
orking on adding free contact points during Point Buy. Shouldn't be much longer
to complete.

y. Cry deeply.

without explaining why you did it is dangerous, kiddies. Don't uncomment things

kills like Priority' rule. Buy With Karma is enabled by default, etc.

on added. IE doesn't work, and I'm not interested in figuring out why.
- Power Point limits are re-calculated when Karma values are changed.

of PACKs will be created in the near future.

tly been disabled, because I am lazy and haven't remade it. I've only done limit

- Before anything else, I want to thank Geg (chummer5de@gmail.com) for going abo
ve and beyond working on the German translation for Chummer. A very large part o
f Chummer's data files have been translated into German by Geg over the last wee
k and I cannot thank him enough for taking it upon himself to do this.
- In order to resolve differences between the English and German printings, I've
added a new book entitled "Shadowrun 5th Edition (German)". I've attached to t

This should allow German players to use the versions printed in their books an
d other players to use them if their group is treating those rules as errata to
the English book.

, and Archetype. The dropdown has been moved to Archetype. Any existing Contacts

- The Contacts/Enemies UI has been updated to use tabs rather than being stacked
. This gives a little more room for both contacts and enemies.
- Contacts now show a dropdown list for the name allowing you to enter your own
contact information or select one from a list. As of yet, Enemies have no option
s in the list but this will be added at a later date (suggestions welcome).

tly allows spending Attribute Points on the bonus point granted by Exceptional A
ttribute or Lucky, I've removed the house rules relating to Exceptional Attribut
e and am now following the rules as specified. Sorry for any confusion.
Build 5.135 (beta)

Build 5.134 (beta)

o create and edit the language files to translate Chummer into non-English langu
ages. If you're interested in doing a translation for distribution with Chummer
, please let me know via srchummer5@gmail.com and we'll make arrangements for yo
u to send me updated language files. This is the first release of this translat
or app so please let me know if you run into problems using it. There's a bit mo
re to come for handling translation, this was just the first big step.

dept to have the wrong Force value.

- Added Advanced Medkits from Bullets & Bandages. No availability is listed for
Advanced Medkits in B&B so I just used the availability for standard Medkits.
- Updated the validation warning message concerning having gear over capacity so
that it now specifies exactly which items are over capacity.
- Fixed a bug that would throw up a validation error on characters using Prime R
unner stats that have more than 25 karma in positive or negative qualities.

- Fixed a bug that was causing the character load to fail if it was a Prime Runn
er with more than 10 karma spent on nuyen.

lity, Stillness, and Penetrating Strike. This fix will only apply on powers add
ed after this update.
- Fixed a bug with the Ares Giantslayer Slingshot that was causing a crash when
selecting it.
Build 5.131 (beta)
A quick shout out... I had programming help on this build from a friend of mine
named Ed. Thank you Ed!
- Completely rebuilt how karma is spent on Attributes, Special Attributes, Skill
Groups, Active Skills, and Knowledge Skills to reflect the RAW on the steps in
character creation. All existing characters should load up just fine but karma c
osts may have changed to reflect applying the RAW. Each of these now have separa
te entry boxes for applying points from your Priority selection and for buying u
p with Karma. Validation now checks to see if you've overspent on your points.
I believe I've been able to correctly handle the steps as written while giving a
UI that allows you to treat it as a single step (rather than going through a ga
teway similar to "Mark as Created"). The only thing I haven't updated as part o
f this is whether skill specialization is paid for with skill points or karma...
at this time it automatically uses skill points to pay for skill specialization
but I'll update this in a future enhancement when I will also tackle being able
to have multiple specializations per skill. There are two new house rules to a
llow you to tailor how these rules are applied to some degree. If others are nee
ded, send along a request and I'll take a look.
- Added custom Traditions. If you select the Custom Tradition from the dropdown,
it will enable additional fields for you to provide your tradition name, select
your drain attributes, and select your spirits for each school. This informati
on is saved with the character and is portable with it.
- Fixed the skill bonus from the Cat Mentor Spirit so that it will apply to Snea
king (the English core book says Infiltration on page 321).
- Spell dice pools should now pull from the correct skill (Spellcasting, Ritual
Spellcasting, Alchemy, Artificing) for each spell.
- Corrected the drain value for the Resist Pain Spell.
- Fixed the values on the Build Summary tab for Spells, Complex Forms, and Conta
cts which under some conditions might show the wrong value.
- Fixed the Armor value on the Condition Monitor tab in Career Mode to show the
correct value.
- Added the armor encumberance rule from page 169 so that it applies to armor ac
cessories such as helmets and shields.
- Removed the duplicate Astral Powder gear entry.
- Fixed the missing availability and price for Fetishes.
- Clicking on a blank area within the Contacts, Skill Groups, Active Skills, or
Knowledge Skills regions will allow you to scroll them with the scroll wheel.
- Removed the tooltips that were showing the wrong text on the labels on the Lim
its tab.
- Added a house rule to allow paying only the standard cost for Qualities in Car
eer Mode instead of double as per RAW.
- Removed the option to buy a vehicle used as this was from 4th Edition and has
not been carried over into 5th.
Build 5.130 (beta)
- Removed some duplicate specialties from the Politics Knowledge Skill.
- Made the Adept Way Qualities not available for non-adepts.
- Added the Astral Limit to the Limits tab and the character sheets. Keep in mi
nd that limit modifiers to either your mental limit or social limit that can app
ly in the astral might conditionally apply to your astral limit during play.
- Fixed Enhanced Articulation Bioware so that it applies the correct skill bonus
es.
- Fixed several issues surrounding full Cyberlimbs. Attribute averaging has been
removed as it was a 4th Edition rule. The limb on the character sheet now shows
the limb's total Strength, Agility, and its Physical Limit.
- Movement rate now uses the augmented Agility value.
- Added an option under House Rules to use derived Attributes from Cyberlegs whe
n calculating movement speed.
- Added all that lovely Qi Foci code from build 5.129 to Career Mode as well. Co
mpletely missed that one.
- Now correctly charges double for positive qualities added or negative qualitie
s deleted after character creation.
- When selecting YNT Softweave in the Select Armor Mod dialog, it will now show
"+50%" in the capacity field.
- Removed the button in Career mode that allowed adding more Mystic Adept Power
Points. You're not actually allowed to add points this way after character creat
ion.
- Added Custom Ballistic Mask.
- Added the specialized silencer for the Ares Light Fire 75 and added it to the
Ares Light Fire 75.
- Added some very minor fixes for the underbarrel weapons from Run and Gun so at
least they won't cause a crash. They still don't behave the way I want them to
though so I'll be revisiting this "soon".
Build 5.129 (beta)
- Qi Foci will now ask what power they're providing when you bind the foci and t
hat power will now show up on your list of powers with the appropriate free leve
ls if any and the name of the Qi Foci will be updated to show the power it is pr
oviding. For Improved Reflexes, select the level you want your character to hav
e and the foci rating, it will reduce the power point cost accordingly.
- Fixed a bug preventing weapons from being added to Heavy Weapon Mounts.
- Updated firearms that come stock with a Smartgun System to have the internal v
ersion.
- Added the Gas-Vent 2 System that the Ares Crusader II should have.
- Fixed the AP on the Colt M23.
- Manabolt is now correctly a Mana based spell.
Build 5.128 (beta)
- First and foremost, recent builds (including this one) have been getting updat
es to the French translation files courtesy of Lous_59. Thank you for your amazi
ng work!
- Fixed a bug preventing loading bows or crossbows with ammunition in Career mod
e.
- Cleaned up the former Commlinks section on the Character Sheet. It now is the
Device section and each Commlink, RCC, or Cyberdeck shows itself as such. Fixe
d a few problem items that were showing their stats incorrectly.
- Added device stat labels to cyberware, armor, weapon, gear, and vehicle tabs s
o that you can see the stats for selected commlinks, cyberdecks, or rigger comma
nd consoles.
- For newly created characters only, limit modifiers will now inlcude the condit
ion under which they operate. I'd make this retroactive but it would be a night
mare to code.
- Fixed the Quality Indomitable and the Adept Power Improved Potential to add di
rectly to the calculated limits rather than add limit modifiers as these bonuses
apply at all times. This also resolved the issue with the Chaos Mentor Spirit
where it was not applying the bonus from the granted Improved Potential power.
- Fixed a bug where in some cases carry-over karma from character creation would
not be carried over.
- Will now automatically remove the Allergy when removing the Eagle Mentor Spiri
t.
- Fixed the Initiation/Submersion tab so that it will allow adding multiple inst
ances of metamagics and echoes that allow it.
- Updated the Infusion of [Matrix Attribute] and Defusion of [Matrix Attribute]
so that they will ask for you to enter the name of the attribute being adjusted.
For now it is a text entry, at some later date it may become a drop down.
- Fixed a bug that was breaking the karma calculation when increasing skills bel
onging to a broken skill group in creation mode.
- Updated the Select a Mentor Spirit dialog to not show choices you're not eligi
ble for. So Magician options won't show up for Adepts and Adept options won't s
how up for Magicians. Mystic Adepts still see all options.
Build 5.127 (beta)
- Fixed a bug where it was not rounding Essence up when calculating your Social
Limit.
- Fixed a bug which would prevent adding Sensor Functions to Sensors.
- Fixed a bug which would prevent any metamagics from being shown when selecting
a new metamagic.
Build 5.126 (beta)
- Completely replaced the Initiation tab. It now should correctly handle Initiat
ion (with discounts), Arts, Enchantments, Enhancements, Metamagics, and Rituals.
Add an Initiation grade and then right click on the grade to add Arts, Enchantm
ents, Enhancements, Metamagics, and Rituals. In case you're not using Street Gr
imoire or choose not to use the Arts system, there is a new item on the House Ru
les tab of the Options dialog that you can use to ignore the Art requirements fo
r metamagics and the like.
- Fixing the above item led to two powers referenced in Street Grimoire that hav
en't previously been published. These have only been provided via a forum post
by one of the designers. So that post is now a source (SFP1) that can be enable
d in order to provide those powers (Keratin Control and Living Focus).
- Updated all "Source" labels on all dialogs to open the linked PDF to that page
if you have linked the book to the PDF in the Options dialog. Also linked the
names of skills and powers as they don't show a "Source" label in their listings
. And finally, the above mentioned forum post will open in your default browser
if a Source pointing to it is clicked.
- Added the Small Unit Tactics Knowledge Skill from Run and Gun.
- Fixed a bug allowing the Seducer's Adept ability to allow any skill. It now re
stricts to the correct list. Thank you Ariketh for the solution!
- Fixed the Voice Control Adept power to allow for multiple levels.
- Fixed a bug that would cause a crash when using YNT Softweave on an armor with
an odd armor value.
- Added a variable price to Personalized Grip to reflect that it probably should
cost something.
- Removed cyber-weapons from the Select a Weapon dialog. These can only be purch
ased now on the Select Cyberware dialog.
- Fixed a bug preventing the Respirator from being available to add to armor.
- Fixed a bug causing newly added Knowledge Skills to cap at 6 in career mode.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the tooltip on the button to increase your skill
level to show the wrong value when in career mode and at rating 6.
- Fixed a bug that prevented adding Sensor Arrays (and quite a few other things)
to vehicles while in Career mode.
- Adjusted the Select Weapon and Select Armor dialogs so that they'll have bette
r performance.
- Fixed the price of the Monofilament Chainsaw.
- Fixed a multitude of bugs with the Complex Forms and Sprites tab in Career mod
e for Technomancers.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the wrong cost to be calculated for binding Count
erspelling, Ritual Spellcasting, Spellcasting, or Sustaining Foci in Career mode
.
Build 5.125 (beta)
- Fixed Damage and AP value for EXplosive Ammo
- Fixed a bug which would prevent the Dragonslayer Mentor Spirit from getting th
e bonus to a social skill.
- Added a separator between gear items attached to armor on the "Shadowrun 5" ch
aracter sheets.
- Fixed a bug preventing refunding of Complex Form points when deleting a Comple
x Form.
- Weapons will now correctly inherit availability modifiers from accessories whi
ch should increase the weapon's availability.
- Removed 4th Edition artifact where Improved Physical Attribute was charging do
uble for attributes raised above metatype max.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the movement formula to give incorrect values (i
t wasn't using the total value including augmentations).
Build 5.124 (beta)
- Fixed the crash non-US users were having when adding a Mentor Spirit.
Build 5.123 (beta)
- Fixed Security Armor: Heavy's armor rating.
- Added debug logging. By default this is turned off for performance reasons but
if you encounter a significant error, I may ask you to turn it on so that the e
rror can be captured and logged which will make my fixing the problem much easie
r. If you do need to turn it on, you'll find it on the Options dialog listed as
"Use Debug Logging". For space reasons, if the log is turned on it will automa
tically clear itself each time you start Chummer. At this time, only a small po
rtion of Chummer's code is set up for debug logging but I'll be expanding this a
s I can.
Build 5.122 (beta)
- Fixed a number of bugs relating to Mentor Spirits and as best as I can tell, t
hey're all working as intended. If you find otherwise, please email me a copy of
your character sheet with a brief explanation of what's going wrong.
- Mountain Mentor Spirit now provides its bonus to Counterspelling
- Doom Mentor Spirit now correctly provides a +2 to the combat skill of your cho
ice if you choose that option.
- Mutation Mentor Spirit now correctly asks for which ability to apply Attribute
Boost.
- Eagle Mentor Spirit now automatically applies "Polutants" as the trigger of yo
ur Allergy.
- Dog Mentor Spirit now asks which senses are being improved.
- Moved the Smartgun System on the Savalette Guardian to be Internal.
Build 5.121 (beta)
- Fixed a bug that was preventing purchase of Binoculars (both digital and optic
al).
- Fixed a bug that was causing a soft crash when clicking on a weapon accessory.
Build 5.120 (beta)
- Updated the counters on the Build Summary tab to go into negative values if yo
u use karma to overspend. So if you have 3 contact points and add a 2/2 contact
, it'll show "-1 of 3".
- Replaced the karma calculation for over-spending on Knowledge Skills. In short
, the old mechanism was what was built in original Chummer and made you pay for
the most expensive Knowledge Skill point from any of your Knowledge Skills when
you went over. The new mechanism works just as the Active Skills (and Attributes
) does meaning it looks for the cheapest possible option. So if you had four po
ints of Knowledge skills available and put 4 in skill A and 1 in skill B, the ol
d method would charge you for raising skill A from 3 to 4 while the new method c
harges you to raise skill B to 1 (figuring out that the cheapest method is to pu
t those four free points in skill A and pay karma for B). This means that if yo
u have an existing character still in character creation mode that spent karma o
n Knowledge Skills, you'll likely get some karma back.
- Fixed a bug that was incorrectly calculating your spent contact points.
- Fixing an issue with auto-update. I think this will stabilize auto-update and
handle broken downloads better but I won't know for sure until we try.
- Fixed the price of the Redundant Power Supply.
- Changed Ares Predator V from External to Internal Smartgun System. This change
will only apply on newly purchased Predators.
Build 5.119 (beta)
- Added Alchemical Preparations.
- Fixed a bug causing a crash when using Weapon Commlinks and Commlink Accessori
es.
- Fixed a bug that would improperly load adept powers if the character has more
than one instance of that power.
- Fixed a bug with the Wolf Mentor Spirit that would cause a crash when selectin
g the Adept power.
- Fixed the capacity cost of Trodes.
- Fixed a bug that would excessively reduce the attribute minimum for Magic or R
esonance when taking on an Essence reduction. This would cause Chummer to attemp
t to raise the attribute back to where it was by spending karma if need be.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Hand Blades from being available for purchase.
- Added a few more license options (based on Third Edition SR with the help of S
pellBinder).
- Fixed a bug with audio enhancements (specifically the Audio Enhancement and Se
lect Sound Filter) that weren't consuming capacity.
Build 5.118 (beta)
- Auto-update is back! For builds after 5.118 you'll be able to use the auto-upd
ate and check for update functionality to get new builds.
- Really fixed the Awaken spell so that it only appears once and has the correct
book and page. Honestly, I got it this time!
- Removed the alternate Leadership and Arcana skills from 4th Edition.
- Fixed the weapon mounts on the Ares Duelist drone.
- Resolved the error on the Options dialog by setting the Shadowrun 5 sheet as t
he default if one isn't present.
- Adept powers will now sort by name when you load the character.
- Updated vehicles to allow adding any gear. This resolves several issues... Fir
st, being able to replace the standard sensors. Second, until we have vehicle ca
pacity rules, there's really no programmatic means to say what does and does not
belong in a car.
Build 5.117 (beta)
- Fixed a bug that could cause a bug while browsing weapons.
Build 5.116 (beta)
- Updated how Limit Modifiers work. In short, there are now two kinds. First, th
ere's those provided by a specific source... for example the Indomitable quality
. When you add the quality to or remove the quality from your character, it will
automatically add or remove the limit modifier for you. Second, there's custom
modifiers. These you add and remove yourself from the Limits tab. I'm leaving t
his in place because there's always going to be some limit modifier I've left of
f and this gives one handy place to view and adjust your modifiers. Unfortunate
ly this does mean that limit modifiers on existing characters are going to be a
problem. You can however delete the existing limit modifiers, and then remove a
nd re-add the items, qualities, powers, and so on that provide limit modifiers a
nd this will add them back in correctly.
- Added a new Browse feature to the select Weapons and Armor dialogs. In the upp
er right corner of the dialog, there's a button marked "Browse". If you click it
, you'll be shown a grid showing the items belonging to the selected category. Y
ou can sort the grid by clicking on the column headers. Otherwise it works the s
ame as the list and you can switch back and forth as you like.
- Added a new Custom Item in Gear under the Custom category. This item will ask
you for a name and a price. You will be charged the amount you specify and the
item will take on the name you give it, showing in your inventory as that name.
This should allow for any odd custom or table/campaign specifc item you may nee
d.
- Added the content from Sail Away, Sweet Sister (SASS).
- Added the content from Stolen Souls (SS).
- Added the option to create Prime Runner and Street Level characters.
- Fixed the Demolitions bonus to the Doom mentor spirit.
- Updated the Exceptional Attribute quality to allow selection of Magic and Reso
nance.
- Fixed the availability calculation for Alpha/Beta/Deltaware for certain pieces
of cyber and bioware.
- Removed the Throwing Weapons category from the Select Weapon dialog because th
ese are all purchased as Gear.
- Added priority selection to the Text-Only character sheet. This information w
ill only appear for new characters created with version 5.116 or later.
- Fixed my own fix for limited spells. When I enabled limited spells to modify t
he DV of the spell, I accidentally broke the spells with drain greater than thei
r force, for example Element Aura with its F+1 DV. This is now fixed properly.
- Removed the text entry when purchasing reagents.
- In light of the Personalized Grip, various holsters, and Spare Clips, I've upd
ated all weapons to allow accessories. I may in the future add some more special
ized handling of weapon accessories to be more specific to the weapon in questio
n but for now this will at least allow usage of standard accessories. In the en
d, while it's good if Chummer helps you follow the rules, it shouldn't prevent y
ou from doing something that is legal within the rules.
- Fixed Social Modifiers for Voice Control (power), Tailored Pheromones (bioware
), and Sleeping Tiger (armor).
- Fixed the karma costs of Foci during character advancement.
- Removed the Special menu item that would allow you to change your BP as it doe
sn't really make sense in 5th Edition.
- Reverted The Beast's Way and The Spiritual Way back to costing 20 karma AND ad
ded code so that if you have either of these qualities, you will not be charged
to add a Mentor Spirit. In Creation mode, you will be refunded the cost of your
Mentor Spirit if you already have one. In Career mode you won't (you've already
spent that karma).
- Updated the adept way qualities so that you may only pick one.
- During Career mode and as a Mystic Adept, taking Essence loss sufficient that
it reduces your Magic score will also reduce your points allocated to Adept if t
hey exceed your new Magic score.
- Fixed a bug which prevented a cyber weapon from using the Strength of the cybe
rlimb it is implanted within.
- Added Biotechnology to the Biotech skill group per the errata.
- Fixed Forgery by making it use Logic instead of Agility.
- Updated the character validator to not include the availability of Armor mods
marked as "included in base armor" when determining the acceptability of the ava
ilability of the character's gear.
- Added Fetishes to Gear in the Magical Supplies category. They have no cost (an
d per the rules your character must create them) but this addition will enable y
ou to show them in your inventory.
- Fixed a bug causing a character in Creation mode to show their starting nuyen
instead of available nuyen on their character sheet.
Build 5.115 (beta)
- Added all of the remaining Street Grimoire content including Toxic Mentor Spir
its, Blood Rituals, Insect Shaman tradition, Spirit Champion and Spirit Pariah Q
ualities, and Magical Items and Compounds. If you find something that is missin
g, please let me know.
- Fixed Mentor Spirits with the Improved Ability adept power bonus which were ca
using a crash.
- Fixed a string bug that would cause a crash on Rituals using an Organic Link d
escriptor.
- Fixed the Ares Alpha by making its Smartgun System Internal rather than Extern
al.
- Fixed the various Cyber Implanted Guns by making their Smartgun System Interna
l rather than External.
- Fixed an error in the Select an Armor Mod dialog where some items allowed sele
cting a zero rating.
- Fixed an error in the Select an Armor Mod dialog where some items would cause
a crash because they could be given a zero rating.
- Fixed Handheld Housing, Wall-Mounted Housing, Grenade-Cam, and Periscope Cam s
o that they can be purchased. Once purchased, you should be able to add a single
sensor or sensor array (if you have enough capacity) and then populate the sing
le sensor or sensor array with sensor functions. As best as I understand pages 4
45 and 446, this looks like how this is intended to function.
- Fixed an issue with vehicle sensors. Again, going by pages 445 and 446 and spe
cifically the line "Most vehicles and drones come factory-equipped with a sensor
array (at a rating listed with their stats)." I've set the rating of the Sensor
Arrays for each vehicle equal to their sensor rating (or 2 if the vehicle/drone
has a sensor rating of 1). If I got this wrong, please explain where I went wro
ng so I can correct it.
- Fixed the calculation for Unarmed Combat damage. Existing characters should de
lete and re-add their Unarmed Attack on the weapons list.
- Updated the license dialog to suggest more useful options. If you prefer the o
ld method, you can turn it back on in the Options dialog on the Miscellaneous ta
b. Either way, you can enter your own values by typing into the dropdown box.
For the XML inclined, you can add your own entries in licenses.xml. If you have
suggestions for licenses to be included in the dropdown, send them to me.
- Updated Cool Resolve to provide its bonus to each of the Social skills.
- Fixed several bugs with the Enhanced Accuracy (skill) Adept Power. It was addi
ng to the dice pool in error and not adding to the accuracy of weapons tied to t
hat skill. Both of these issues have been resolved.
- Fixed a bug which would cause a weapon to not benefit from the correct skill.
- Cleaned up the tooltip for Initiative on the Other Information tab.
- Fixed the Matrix Initiative (Cold) calculated value.
- Fixed Limited spells so that they calculate the Drain Value correctly.
- Added 5th Edition Initiative values to the Other Info tab when in Career Mode.
- Removing the One Trick Pony quality will also remove the Martial Art. Removing
the One Trick Pony Martial Art will also remove the Quality.
Build 5.114 (beta)
- Renamed the character sheets from "Shadowrun 4" to "Shadowrun 5". If you're j
ust copying the new version into the same directory, you'll want to delete the f
iles in the \sheets subdirectory named "Shadowrun 4" with the .xsl or .xslt exte
ntion.
- Added new book Bullets & Bandages and its contents (BB).
- Fixed a bug that prevented karma from being charged if points were added to Ma
gic in excess of the character's Special Attribute points.
- Updated the cost of The Beast's Way and The Spiritual Way to 15 points to refl
ect the free mentor spirit these qualities grant.
- Added a discount field below the Bonded Foci listing on the Gear tab that can
be used to enter the number of foci qualifying for your Adept Way's foci bonding
 discount. This was the simplest and most straightforward way to handle the Adep
t Ways and the foci bonding discounts they might provide.
- Added a new Standard (Burnout's Way) cyberware/bioware grade that is enabled i
f you take the Burnout's Way quality. It is always available on the Cyberware an
d Bioware tab on the grade dropdown to handle cases where an Adept had the Burno
ut's Way, got cyber/bio, and later dropped the Burnout's Way in favor of another
Way.
- Fixed a bug preventing the Suprathyroid Gland from increasing your lifestyle c
osts.
- Fixed Skills and Skill Groups so that if Ignore Rules was selected they cap at
99.
- Fixed a bug that would cause a crash when selecting the Adept power for the Th
underbird Mentor Spirit.
- Fixed several bugs causing errors with the Urban Tribe Tomahawk.
- Fixed an artifact from 4th edition where Chummer was including Martial Arts wh
en calculating the number of points spent on Positve Qualities.
- Fixed the missing Ingram Valiant.
- Fixed Unarmed Attack so that it is automatically added.
- Fixed the price of the SecureTech Vitals Kit.
- Fixed a bug preventing commlinks, rigger command consoles, and cyberdecks from
showing on the character sheet. Unfortunately you will need to remove and re-ad
d the item to have it show correctly.
- Updated the "Shadowrun 5" character sheets, cleaning up the skills section sli
ghtly to reflect numbers needed in 5th Edition.
- Updated the "Commlinks" character sheet to show Shadowrun 5 specific values. A
lso now shows Cyberdecks and Rigger Command Consoles.
- Updated the "Vehicle Block" character sheet to show Shadowrun 5 specific value
s. Also now shows Seats on vehicles added with 5.114 or later versions and Accur
acy on vehicle mounted weapons.
- Updated the "Game Master Summary" character sheet to show skill limits, the fu
ll set of initiatives, weapon accuracy, and single armor ratings.
- Updated the "Text Only" character sheet to show skill limits, the full set of
initiatives, weapon accuracy, and single armor ratings.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing usable ammunition (Grenades, Minigrenades, Mis
siles, and Rockets) from appearing on the Weapons list.
- Added the missing Minigrenade: Flash-Bang.
- Added the missing Biomonitor to the Urban Explorer Jumpsuit.
Build 5.113 (beta)
- Added a fix to enable backward compatibility in reading characters created bef
ore 5.112.
Build 5.112 (beta)
- Added Rituals from Street Grimoire (SG).
- Added Metamagics from SG.
- Added Adept Ways from SG. I've included the discounts but just like Original C
hummer, it's up to the player not to take more discounted powers than the 1 per
2 Magic. I will do a 2nd pass on the ways in the near future to restrict the dis
counts and to take a stab at adding the small bonuses the ways have like the kar
ma discounts that some ways have as well as the cyberware essence discount that
the Burnout's Way has and the skill bonus the Beast's Way has. For now, I was ha
ppy just getting the discounts working correctly.
- Fixed the price of the Yamaha Growler.
- Enabled the Spells and Spirits tab for Adepts. This allows Adepts to see the s
tats associated with their Mentor Spirit and to purchase Rituals. I'm currently
omitting Rituals with the Spell keyword from the list they can purchase but will
change this if it is appropriate to do so. I'm also omitting Rituals with the A
dept keyword from the list for Magicians and Aspected Magicians.
- Updated the Add Spell dialog for use by Adepts by restricting selection to Rit
uals with the Adept keyword.
- Fixed the Taurus Omni-6 so that it gets the Revolver specialization in additio
n to Automatics.
- Fixed the Enhanced Accuracy Adept Power so that it asks which combat skill to
enhance.
- Fixed a bug which allowed characters with more than 25 points in Negative Qual
ities to validate.
- Fixed a bug with YNT Softweave Armor which would cause it to show more capacit
y remaining than it should.
- Fixed a bug with broken Skill Groups during character creation not loading cor
rectly from a save file.
Build 5.111 (beta)
- Added Rigger Control Consoles.
- Added a tooltip for weapon Recoil Compensation that shows the sources of RC an
d their values.
- Fixed Priority D Aspected Magician so that it still requires a skill group sel
ection.
- Fixed a bug that caused an unhandled exception when adding a skill group that
includes a skill given free ranks from a priority selection.
- Fixed the Negative Quality Incompetent to require selecting a skill group, not
a single skill.
- Fixed the cost of the Positive Quality Strive for Perfection.
- Changed the name of the Natural Immunity qualities to Natural Immunity (Natura
l) and Natural Immunity (Synthetic). In addition, these qualities are no longer
limited to selecting only one of them once. Whether these should be restricted
as such is a GM call.
- Fixed qualities available at multiple ratings so that once that quality is sel
ected at whatever rating, all ratings of that quality no longer appear available
for selection.
- Made Resistance to Toxins, Resistance to Pathogens, and Resistance to Pathogen
s and Toxins mutually exclusive.
- Corrected Positive Quality Agile Defender's karma cost.
- Corrected Positive Quality Resistance to Toxins' karma cost.
- Changed the Positive Qualities Lucky and Exceptional Attribute so that they ar
e no longer compatible.
- Changed the Positive Qualities Rad-Tolerant and Radiation Sponge so that they
are no longer compatible.
- Fixed Positive Qualities which grant a bonus to a skill so that they grant tha
t bonus even when defaulting.
- Removed the 4th edition limitation upon skills that limited skill bonuses to h
alf of the skill rating.
- Fixed the Positive Quality Spirit Affinity to require that the character is an
Aspected Magician, Magician, or Mystic Adept.
- Cleaned up the Priorities dialog and reordered the fields to match the Priorit
y table on page 65.
- Removed two options from the Options dialog that no longer apply in 5th editio
n.
- Fixed a book reference on the Options dialog.
- Fixed the Critical Strike Power by correcting its price, making it ask for a w
eapon category, and applying a +1 DV bonus to the selected category.
- Fixed the spells that were missing the text entry dialog such as Corrode [Ojbe
ct].
- Fixed the powers that were missing the text entry dialog such as Elemental Str
ike.
- Fixed Skill Groups so that they use a maximum rating of 6 during character cre
ation and a maximum rating of 12 during character advancement.
- Fixed the priority selection dialog so that it shows the correct augmented max
imums.
- Fixed a case where your Magic and Resonance priority could be given an "E" pri
ority and it wasn't auto-selecting Mundane.
- Fixed an issue preventing spare clips from being added as gear to firearms and
preventing adding ammunition to spare clips.
- Fixed a lot of bugs relating to sensors, vehicle sensors, and sensor functions
. I think I've got it right but please feel free to tell me how wrong I am.
- Fixed skill rating calculation for Mystic Adepts for skills based on Magic.
- Fixed a bug preventing bonus skill selection from appearing for Mystic Adepts
while selecting priorities.
- Updated Mystic Adept Power Point cost to use the Errata value of 5 karma. I wi

nce, etc...) to be listed in the Select Qualities dialog for each rating value.
Previously it was only allowing you to select the quality once, preventing reac
hing higher ratings. Unfortunately this means that if you pick Focused Concentra
tion (Rating 2), rating 1 and 3 are still there in the list. This isn't my opti
mal fix for this and I'm going to try to find something better. Suggestions are
welcome.

- Fixed karma costs for skill groups when buying more than your priority selecti
on grants.
- Fixed karma costs for skills when buying more than your priority selection gra
nts.
- Fixed karma costs for knowledge skills when buying more than your attributes g
rant. This uses the original code for calculating these costs which forces the p
layer to pay for the most expensive points rather than what might be the most op
timal. As an example, if you have two knowledge skills named A and B and have 6
free knowledge skill points. If you set A at a value of 4 and B at 3, you'll us
e your 6 free points to raise them each to three and then pay karma to raise A t
o 4 costing you 4 karma. The optimal path would raise A to 4, B to 2, and then p
ay karma to raise B to 3 costing you 3 karma. I've coded everything else (activ
e skills, skill groups, and both primary and special attributes) to use the opti
mal path for paying karma for items raised beyond what your priorities provide f
or and wonder if it might be the right thing to do that here as well.

be fixed in a future release.

Build 490
- corrected how Essence information is stored in regions that use something othe

Karma cost for increasing Special Attributes is reduced with Essence Loss
When the option is enabled, the Essence cost to improve MAG or RES is affected b
y Essence Loss. For example, the character an Essence Penalty of 1 and MAG of 3.
Normally, Chummer calculates the cost based on its perceived MAG value of 4 (MA
G 4 - Essence Penalty 1 = 3), meaning the cost of improving MAG would be for goi
ng from MAG 4 to MAG 5. With this option enabled, Chummer instead calculates the
cost based on the shown value of 3, meaning the cost of improving MAG would be
for going from MAG 3 to MAG 4. This only impacts Career Mode.

PDF Support
PDF support has been tested with both Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. Clicking on
a sourcebook field (such as SR4 324) will open the linked PDF to the appropriat
e page. PDF links can be configured in the Options window. There are a few thing
s to note with each application in terms of behaviour. With Adobe Reader, a new
instance of the application is opened each time you click on a PDF link in Chumm
er. If you have the SR4 book open already then click on another SR4 link, a new
copy of Adobe Reader is opened to the appropriate page, meaning you will have mu
ltiple copies of the SR4 book open at the same time. With Foxit Reader, if you a
lready have the SR4 book open and click on an SR4 link, Foxit Reader will gain f
ocus but will not jump to the appropriate page. Foxit Reader will only jump to t
he appropriate page if you do not already have a copy of that PDF open. Unfortun
ately these are not things I can control; they are how these reader applications
have been setup to behave.

ulated at a higher point total than the number of points that have actually been
spent.

Improvements Tab
The Improvements tab allows players to create Custom Improvements to their chara
cter that can be turned on and off as needed. This finally adds support for cond
itional/situational modifiers! For example, if your character has the Attribute
Boost (STR) Adept Power at Rating 3, you can now create a Custom Improvement tha
t will allow you to boost your STR when the Power is active, then set it back wh
en you've deactivated it. See the Creating Custom Improvements page on the Chumm
er Wiki for more information.

Adept Powers that Affect Base Attribute Scores
There has been a rather significant change (correction) to how a few Powers work
in terms of affecting Attributes; namely Creative Eye, Improved Physical Attrib
ute, and Keen Wits. The cost of these Powers were not being calculated correctly
as they were not correctly modifying their Attributes' actual value, nor were t
hey properly increasing the Karma cost of improving them in Career Mode. If your
characters have any of these three Powers, you will need to remove them and re-
add them so that things are calculated correctly.

iles but use "override" as their prefix (such as override_weapons.xml). Multiple
Override files can exist for the same type (such as multiple Override files for
Weapons), and the files are loaded in alphabetical order after loading the base
data files. The item in the Override file completely replaces the base item. Th
is is not intended to be used for holding your new custom data as the XML Manage
r will only overwrite existing items; it will not add items that do not exist in
the base data files. Use at your own risk.

Settings Files
Chances are, most people are just going to stick with the default one and modify
it as needed. For those who take part in multiple games where the sourcebooks a
llowed and optional rules used varies, you can create additional Settings files
to keep all of this information separate. To create a new Setting, copy the defa
ult.xml file in the settings directory, rename the new copy to whatever you like
, then modify it using the Options window. When you create a new character, Chum
mer asks you which Setting you would like to use (if more than 1 file exists). T
he name Settings file used is saved as part of the character file. You can chang
e the Settings file a character uses by opening the save file in a text editor a
nd changing the <settings /> tag to match the name of the desired file. These fi
les can be given to players to make sure that everyone has the same set of optio
ns enabled.

About Omae
Omae is an online character repository where players and GMs can upload their cr
eations to share with others who are looking for Contacts, Enemies, and Critters
for their games. Anyone can download characters, but you must have a registered
Omae account in order to upload characters. Registration is required so that pe
ople can see who put the effort into the character, search for other creations b
y that person, as well as allowing only the author to update a revised version o
f the character or delete it entirely. Registration is free and only asks for a
user name and password. No other information is asked for or recorded. I have no
use for that stuff. Password are encoded and stored in the online database. You
may also choose to save your user name and password information locally so that
you can log into Omae automatically when you open the window. Password are stor
ed in an encoded format within the Windows Registry along with the other Chummer
settings. When a character is downloaded, it is saved to your [Chummer path]\sa
ves\omae directory.

eated during the current session. They will not be saved with your character inf
ormation, so once you have closed the character, the undo history is lost (large
ly to prevent undoing something done 10 game sessions ago without undoing anythi
ng else). Currently supported items - Karma: Attribute, Karma: Add Quality, Nuye
n: Cyberware/Bioware, Nuyen: Gear. This only undoes the expense for the item you
have selected. If you later added child items you should undo these expenses fi
rst - the undo function strictly undoes the single item that is selected, meanin
g anything that was added after and not undone will not be refunded. This is int
ended to undo your most recent few transactions only.

Free Spirit Characters
Magic replaces Force since they are the same Attribute for the Free Spirit. When
you first create a Free Spirit character, your Attribute BP total will be very
high but is technically correct. All of the character's Attribute start at 2 and
have a Metatype Maximum of 2 (the Free Spirit's starting Force/Magic). This mea
ns that all of your Attribute costs are being calculated at their Metatype Maxim
um which adds +15BP per Attribute. (This technically breaks all of the other wri
tten rules saying only 1 Physical/Mental Attribute can be at it's Metatype Maxim
um.) When MAG 3 or higher is selected, this number drops back down since they ar
e all no longer at their Metatype Maximum. (And who would play a Force 2 Free Sp
irit anyways?)
A.I. Characters
Resonance replaces Rating. Their free Programs can be purchased through Gear by
selecting the Free! checkbox when purchasing.

- <specificattribute /> Improvements now include support for precedence attribut

(see below)
specificattribute precedence
This has been included to (and should only be used for) Cyberware, Bioware, and
Powers that affect Initiative and/or Reaction which either does not allow it to
stack with any other enhancement, or only certain ones. A precedence of 1 ignore
all other Improvements and uses the COMBINED value of all other precedence 1 it
ems (Wired Reflexes, Move-by-Wire, and Reaction Enhancers). A precedence of 0 ig
nore all other Improvements and uses the single highest precedence 0 Improvement
the character has (Synaptic Booster). Short version: nothing you need to actual
ly worry about - the necessary items have already been updated and Chummer figur
es out what it should use. :)
