Shadowrun using DnD5 recruiting [OOC]
And now it is time for the Adventures of Fluffy and Diggs!
I have no idea if this character is even viable. Seems cool to me, or at least, what he could be given enough time and money.
Diggs was drafted into the military of some corporation or another, he can't really remember which, when he was a kid. Or maybe it was after he became a man. Or maybe...well, whatever. At some point, he was in someone's military, helping kill someone else's military. Maybe he was part of more than one? Like, switched around or something. Whatever. He doesn't remember. Though he does get this feeling of hatred and betrayal when he thinks far enough back. Not sure where that comes from, but whatever. He just knows he killed people.
Which is cool, because he didn't really like people to begin with. Humans and elves were too ugly, Orks were too tall, and Trolls...well, they're alright. At least they can drink. Always fun killing them, though. Point is, Diggs always liked machines more than people. They were loyal. Like having a pet that was smart enough to have a conversation.
It was about 12 years ago...or it could have been last week, his memory isn't all that great...sometime in the recent past, Diggs was working for his boss, whoever that was, killing someone who needed killing, whoever that was. Somehow, probably because of an ugly elf, he got himself blown halfway to hell. Since he'd been one of those "get caught and we'll forget about you" folks, Diggs wasn't able to get prosthetics to fix his legs, right arm and right eye. So he did what any self respecting Drone Master would do. He hacked a drone belonging to his old boss and had it steal a good bit of cybernetic tech. Then he spent a good amount of time (so he guesses it couldn't have been a week ago, then) fixing himself, using the drones as extra hands. Took forever. The drone he hacked didn't have any hands. Stupid companies.
When he was done, he was almost a drone himself. Fully cybernetic arm, legs and eye, and he even put mounts for future drones on his hand and eye socket. Just in case.
Well, he's decided he's not done. He's got this other eye, see, that doesn't do anything special, it just sits there and sees things. And these ears that are so inefficient. His skeleton everywhere but his cybernetic parts breaks just too damn easily, and while he's got this cool implant in his head that lets him control machines with his mind, there's just so much more he could be doing.
The only thing he needs is money. Screw being alive. Diggs wants to be a machine. Just like Fluffy.
Oh, and he also has plans to make Fluffy look like an actual Doberman. He thinks that'd be really cool, to have a robot dog following him around. He'd make him bark and sit and attack people's jugulars. Heh heh. It'll be glorious.
So here is Diggs, followed by Fluffy. Let me know what you think, and what I did wrong.

DRONE MASTER TALENT TREE
Prerequisite: Vehicle (Drones), Vehicle Rigger Control cybernetic implant.
Drone Rigger (Core Ability): You are a specialized drone rigger. Any drones that you control with either AR or with full emersion, perform their actions on your initiative and you add your proficiency bonus to all controlled drones’ Armor Class, attack bonus to hit and any damage rolls as well as well as to its saving throws, ability and skill checks. You can order them move as a no action on your part. As a bonus action you can order one drone to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge or Help action. As an action you can direct all of the drones to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge or Help action. As an action you can order one drone to take all of its actions. These actions are distracting though and you are at Disadvantage for all of your personal attacks and checks (not saving throws). If you use the full emersion ability with your VRC to control one drone you gain a +2 insight bonus to your attack bonus as well as the saving throws and ability checks with the drone. At 11th level if you have multi-attacks in a round (via Double or Triple Attack feats) all drones under your control can also make multiple attacks. If you are incapacitated or reduced to 0 hit points or if a drone is outside its communications range its action must be on ‘autopilot’ or it does not act at all. If this class is chosen at character creation, the Drone Rigger gains either a Combat, Recon or Stealth Drone for free. The Combat Drone can have two light firearms or one medium installed while the Recon and Stealth have one light firearm installed for free (after character creation must purchase drones and weapons separately).
Drone Hacking: Through you VRC you may attempt to hack an enemy drone or syder system. As an action make an Intelligence (Computer Use) skill vs. the drones Firewall. If you succeed you impose the charmed condition onto an autopilot systems. However if another operator is controlling the drone (or you have Best Friends talent) it gains an Intelligence save DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. If the drone fails you knock the operator out of the system (see Dumpshock, if it is under direct control) and the drone gains the charmed condition. You can order this drone or system as if you owned it but you must maintain concentration each round with at least a bonus action. Any round you stop concentrating on the drone it loses the charmed conditions with you.
Cybernetics: With it you gain up to 6 Stain points of Cyberware.

[sblock=Cybernetics Description]
Datajack (1 level): a simple brain implant that allows the subject to use either a fiber-optic cable to directly interface with any type of electronic device or computer or wirelessly if using a comlink with a wireless interface modifier. Cost 500¥, Strain 1. (Free for Drone Expert)
Vehicle Rigger Control (VRC) (1 level): Requires a Datajack implant. A complex neural pathway implant that allows the subject to control vehicles, drones and internal systems with its mental commands. This is done via a comlink and either AR interaction or with a datajack and comlink with a wireless interface modifier. The vehicle or system must have a Rigger upgrade (all drones automatically include this). The ‘rigger’ can control up to its Intelligence modifier in systems at a time and gains an additional action on each of its turns. This action can only be used with a system under its control and it must be used only to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Hide, Recover from Reeling or Use an Object action. This cannot be combined with any other similar boosts provided by drugs, magic, talents, or cybernetics but see Tech talents for the basic class exceptions (for Drone Riggers and Riggers). Cost 20,000¥, Strain 6.
Cybernetic Eye Replacements (1 level+): the subjects’ eyes have been replaced with cybernetic ones. This Cost 600¥ each but only 1 Strain total, but can hold up to 3 Strain worth of cybernetic-visual enhancements without costing the subject any additional Strain. Modifiers over 3 Strain count towards the subject’s total Strain. Note that all of the following enhancers can be added to any subject without cybernetic ears (as simple cybernetic upgrades) but the subject counts all Strain in full. All metahumans who have cybernetic eye replacements lose any natural Low-Light or Darkvision, unless they take the cybernetic version.
* Ocular Drone Mount (level 1): this eye mount requires that the subject have at least one cybernetic eye replacements. It allows the subject to store an ocular drone within the eye socket. Others have disadvantage at detecting the drone when mounted, but the subject is blind in one eye when the drone is in use (Disadvantage on ranged attack rolls and perception checks past 10ft). Cost 1,000¥, Strain 0 (already paid for with the replacement cybernetic eye). See Drones for stats.
* Flare Compensation (1 level): +400¥, Strain 1. Advantage on any saving throws that involved sudden flashes, light attacks, etc. that could blind the users.
* Dark Vision (1 level): +750¥, Strain 1. Darkvision out to 60 feet.
Cybernetic Right Arm: Grants +5 to max health
Cyber-Arm Enhancements (1 level): require that at least on arm has is a cybernetic replacement. Increase all melee attack damage by +2. Cost 5,000¥, 0 Stain (included in the cybernetic arm)
Drone Hand Mount (1 level): this implant requires that the subject have at least one cybernetic hand replacement. When not in use it acts as a normal cybernetic hand and any attempt to detect the drone is at disadvantage. When deployed the subject cannot use that hand for any other activity. 1,000¥, no Strain (already paid for with the replacement hand). See Drones for stats.
Cybernetic Legs: Grants +10 to max health
Cyber-Leg Enhancements (7 levels): these implants require both legs are cybernetic replacements. Note that the legs can hold up to 3 levels of Strain automatically and the subject only needs to pay for any Strain that exceeds that. Each level grants one of the following: +10ft to Move Speed (can be taken 3 times), +5ft to base Leaping distance (can be taken 3 times), Boosted kick (change unarmed damage to 1d8/1d10 for a large sized creature, bludgeoning damage).

This section about starting Talents is a little unclear. I think its supposed to say that one you pick a talent tree, you must take the 'core' talent for that tree. You can then choose your remaining two core talents from among those in the same tree and those in the Generic Cybernetics Talent Tree.
The wording for the Tough class is similarly unclear.
I think that the intent is that each character start with only three talents at level 1.

It doesn’t read unclear. It reads that all three talants must be picked from the same tree, and then in a separate section, says you can also pick two talents from cybernetics. But if Greenkarl meant “must pick the core talent, and the remaining two can either be from the same tree if Cybernetics”, then i can change it.
Yes at its base your 3 core Talents come from the core tree BUT you can take 2 of these to take Cybernetic Implants generic instead. This means that you take the Core Drone Rigger at 1st, the 2 Cybernetic Implants and the you can take one more of those others listed at 3rd level. At 3rd level you have 4 talents total. You will have to pick one of those other talents listed of the Drone Rigger - Drone Hacking, Drone Upgrade or Upgrade Drone.
Hope that make senses. Otherwise interesting
One thing I noticed is that when you got the free cybernetic in your replacement limbs/eyes you can add any mods for free. I am not sure I would allow that with cybernetics you pay for... I can see giving you the ocular mount for free but not the others. Just a thought.

Whatever you say, boss! Gives me something to work towards.
I’ll take the Ocular mount, if you’ll let me have it.
And I think I’ll take Drone AI, instead of Upgrade or Hacking. I’ll take Hacking next. Definitely need the cybernetics.
Or should I take Hacking first? He did, after all, get Fluffy from Hacking...I’ll think about it.
All this guy’s money is going towards cyber ware and drones, lol.

I will say that there’s a little bit of a Misnomer. In order to take Drone Master at lvl 1, you need the VRC implant, which is 6 strain. So the only way to have that at character creation is to have one Cybernetics talent. So it’s not actually possible to have three Drone Master Core Talants, as one of them HAS to be Cybernetics, just to get the class. Is Drone Master so powerful that it dictates so many resources?

[MENTION=6801242]GreenKarl[/MENTION], I just took another look at the Weapon Focus talent (on the Adept tree Magical Focus). It says, "Weapon focus must be based on the PHB melee (only) simple or martial weapons and cannot have the Keen Blade upgrades listed in equipment." Does the word "only" refer to wespons in the PHB, to melee weapons, or both (melee weapons in the PHB)?
I will edit the core talents write up to make that more clear.
For [MENTION=6810779]jonathonhawke[/MENTION], in Shadowrun you could only get magic weapons that were melee and "primitive'. There were monofiliment swords in the gear but you could not make them into weapon focuses. So better wording my be "A Weapon focus must be based on a primitive style PHB melee (only) weapon, simple or martial type, and cannot have the Keen Blade upgrades as listed in equipment."
