1 Novice: You’ve taken a few lessons, done some reading, but you’re still pretty new to this area.

2 Advanced beginner: You’ve put in some time and practice, and it shows, but you know many people could easily outpace you.

3 Journeyman: Your skills are starting to be recognized. Your accumulating experience is clear.

4 Professional: When people are hiring for this particular skill, they look for someone like you.

5 Advanced professional: Even other pros realize that you’ve raised your game, and if they don’t hustle you’ll leave them behind.

6 Local legend: You haven’t hit the big time, but people who know you speak of your skill with great respect.

7 Elite: Now you’re making it toward the top. With this level of skill, you outpace the vast majority of the rest of the world.

8 Elite pro: Not only can you make money in this skill, but you’re recognized as one of the best by your peers.

9 National elite: You’re one of the best in your entire nation in this area.

10 Multinational elite: Your skills go beyond your national borders, and they are good enough to excel even in international competition.

11 Global elite: If there were Olympics for this skill, you’d be considered a gold-medal contender. If there are Olympics for this skill, you should
probably enter them.

12 GOAT: When people talk about the Greatest of All Time, your name is in the mix, if not at the top of the list.

RATING CIRCUMSTANCES
1 These items can be found just about anywhere. If you’re in a relatively civilized area, just walk a few blocks, and you’ll find a place that sells this.

2 These items are a bit more specialized, but that mainly means you’ll have to seek out a store that focuses on this type of merchandise,
rather than finding it in your local Stuffer Shack or whatever.

3 These are starting to be boutique items, the type of things aficionados seek out, or things that are made in relatively small batches. They’re
not the rarest items, but they’re also not sitting in a ton of stores across the sprawl.

4 Now we’re getting into specialty markets. These are things not intended for mass markets, and their specialized function isn’t for everyone.
Few people in any given sprawl carry them, and their supplies are limited.

5 True specialty items. These may be collector’s items or things deliberately made for a niche audience, but they are not at all easy to find.

6 These are quite rare, often hand-crafted items. Small workshops and specialty manufacturers make them, and you’ll never find them at a
major retailer. Work hard, and you might track a by-appointment seller who will sell you one.

7 These items are not available off-the-rack. They are specially ordered and custom-made.

8 Same as 7, but you have to make an appointment to order one, and you may be subjected to a background check based on whatever obscure
criteria the manufacturer has decided to assemble.

9 The most rare items money can buy—you just have to find the person who will take your cash. Owning one of these marks you as a member
of the elite, and selling one of them brings in extra cash due to their scarcity.

THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU. They always are. The other side has more

people, more firepower, more money—more everything. What they don’t have is
you—your brains, your guts, and your willingness to put everything on the line to
come out on top.

Shadowrun, Sixth World is the latest edition of one of the most popular role-
playing games of all time. In 2080, the world is controlled by all-powerful megacorps
that draw on vast hoards of technology and magic to keep rest of the population
under their heels. But some people refuse the seductive lure of corporate safety.
These rebels refuse to sell out, and they survive by doing the dirty work no one else
will do. They are shadowrunners, and they’re ready for you to join their ranks.

Become an elf shaman, an ork street samurai, a dwarf rigger, or any of hundreds
of other possibilities. Find your skill set and unique expertise and use all of it on wild
chances that will keep you alive, that give you one more chance at freedom. So you
can survive until the next one.

The Shadowrun, Sixth World Core Rulebook contains everything you need to
play besides six-sided dice. Launch into a dark, thrilling world of gaming fun as your
shadowrunner sets out on the road to greatness!
