Shadowrun 6: Designing a combat page

The Shadowrun 6 PDF export consists of 2 pages, special pages for Matrix, Astral and Rigging, an extended gear page list and optional full text description pages. When we designed those pages we already planned to work on a special combat page, since it is something that might be useful for all type of characters.

Now with "Firing Squad" on the horizon, the concept gains focus again. We currently started collecting ideas what components a page with combat relevant information should include. You patrons on the Acolyte tier are welcome to define your favorites and add wishes in the comments.

Our current idea is to include 

• a list of combat actions (similar to the actions on the Matrix page)

• relevant stats (Initiative, Defense pool, total armor rating)

• a edge counter which you can use with a paper clip (inspired by Deadlands classic sheets (e.g. https://i.redd.it/ys89duzsmxbz.jpg )- for those of you who don't use tokens

• learned Martial Arts techniques (a concept introduced by "Firing Squad") - a MUST, since you buy them with Karma and they must show up somewhere

• A condensed combat rules cheat sheet (similar to Matrix and Magic page)

There are also ideas we are unsure about:

• Condition monitors again (already present on page 1)

• Weapons again (already present on page 1 and on extended gear pages) - perhaps with more room

• Listing Edge boosts (helping new players to learn what they can do with their edge in a combat round)

Not all ideas might fit on the page, so we like  to have your feedback on what is relevant for you.
