Shadowrun Human

From MLGWiki

Human is a race in Shadowrun.
See: Shadowrun Human Builds for some human builds.

The main strength of the Human is that he has no weaknesses. He isn’t the slowest of the races, or the weakest, or the easiest target. But he also does not have the more amazing abilities of the other races to fall back on as well.

What Humans do have is an aptitude for technology hard won after five thousand years of struggling without magic. Humans take no essence penalty for tech abilities. While an elf, by example, has a much higher base essence than a human if both the elf and the human used a wide variety of tech abilities the human’s essence pool would not be touched. The elf, on the other hand, would have his essence pool devastated.

Another advantage humans bring to the table is a side effect of the prejudice that metahumans find in the workplace. To put it simply, humans have more money. When a human enters a match he begins with more to spend than the other races.

Humans are capable of filling any role in a battle. Be it scout, sniper, frontal assault, or defense; the human is more than capable of filling it. But they pay for that by not excelling at any of them.

   * Strengths: No essence penalty for tech, greater starting money
