Arsenal adds realistic Mixed Martial Arts, spy tools/weapons, and emotitoys. You could grab any SR4, Shadowrun 20th-Anniversary Edition (SR4A) or SR5 main book and the SR4 Arsenal book (or just one of those box sets). Read the rules. I bet you'll enjoy them for a modern or near-future setting.Spellcasting is very-clean in Shadowrun, as is Astral Combat. You can coordinate tactical teams, vehicles/drones, magic, and spirits on land, air, sea, and space in the simultaneous physical, VR/AR/MR worlds, astral plane, and cross-plane spaces. Initiative and Surprise are a breeze. Starting PCs are just as strong as 5e ones compared to their place in the oppositional universe. You can easily have an Ork Burned-Out Mage the starts with a Rating 6 (4/2) Weapon Focus / Power Focus on a magical sword and skillsofts that power her mastery of it, with trigger-obliterating Revolver skills and powered up by her smart-pocket device that runs a Rating 4 Tacsoft to the rest of her team, including all of her senses and their senses. Sensory overload, but managed sensory overload.</blockquote>
