About the Player's Manual new
Mass Effect 5e is a homebrew for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition which allows you to play a tabletop roleplaying game with D&D 5th edition rules but set in the Mass Effect
Universe. If you have played 5th edition, many of the rules and rule syntax will feel familiar to you. For your convenience, completely new rules will be tagged with a new badge.
This indicates an entirely new rule or mechanic .Changes to rules will be tagged with a change badge. This indicates a rule change, augmentation, or extension.
For entirely new players (i.e., players who have not played 5th edition), you will nd the entirety of 5th edition's System Reference Document (SRD) included in this homebrew. The
purpose of including the SRD it to make it easier for new and veteran players to reference the rules of 5th edition when using this homebrew.
Since D&D 5th edition is primarily focused on a fantasy setting, the components of the SRD have been "reskinned." Where, the SRD may reference and Orc, Kingdom, or galley, this
version will reference a Drell, Planet, or starship. However, you can also read through the o cial SRD.
Introduction
The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery and Mass Effect 5e takes that storytelling to the stars. Both shares elements with
childhood games of make-believe. Like those games, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing the alien landscape beneath the two-sunned sky and imagining how an N7
soldier might react to the challenges that scene presents.

In Mass Effect 5e, the Dungeon Master is called the Galaxy Master (tm tm tm)
Galaxy Master (GM): You arrived on Asteroid 2179 JK178 on a UT-47 Kodiak. Approaching the station’s hangar, a missile lock alarm sounds in the cockpit. Your pilot, Harcourt
Finn, immediately took evasive action and put down on the opposite side of the asteroid. Scans indicate the automated defensive system should extend around the entire
asteroid but appears to be dormant on the side opposite the station entrance. Having no other options, you double-checked the pressure seals on your armor and set out on foot
across the asteroid’s surface. After a quick 3 kilometer jaunt, you arrive at the edge of the asteroid. Looking down, you can see the hangar doors sealed tight. You’ll have to nd
another way in …
Amanda (playing Melphine): I want to scan the area for movement or any immediate threats.
Amie (playing Telos): The drop to the hanger door looks pretty far? I want to test how much gravity the asteroid has. Do I think we can easily drop down to it without injuring
ourselves or ying off into space?
Unlike a game of make-believe, D&D gives structure to the stories, a way of determining the consequences of the operatives’ action. Players roll dice to resolve whether their attacks
hit or miss or whether their operatives can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a biotic blase, or pull off some other dangerous task. Anything is possible, but the dice make some
outcomes more probable than others.
Galaxy Master (GM): OK, one at a time. Amanda, you’re looking for threats?
Amanda: Yeah. Is there any movement in the area?
GM: Make a Wisdom check.
Amanda: Does my Perception skill apply?
GM: Of course!
Amanda (rolling a d20): Rats. Eight.
GM: No movement that you can see. And Amie, Telos is assessing the drop to the hanger bay?
In the Mass Effect 5e game, each player creates an operative (also called a character) and teams up with other operatives (played by friends). Working together, the group might
explore a derelict starship, the slums of an inhabited asteroid, the glorious streets of an advanced civilization, an ancient temple deep in a jungle, or the steppes of a mining colony.
The operatives can solve puzzles, talk with other characters, battle alien monsters, and discover advanced technologies and relics from a past age.
One player, however, takes on the role of the Galaxy Master (GM), the game’s lead storyteller and referee. The GM creates missions for the characters, who navigate its hazards and
decide which paths to explore. The GM might describe the entrance to Osiris Station, and the players decide what they want their operatives to do. Will they jump down to the hanger
bay? Propel themselves with jetpacks? Or use a biotic's powers to increase their mass, "a xing" themselves to the surface of the asteroid? Then the GM determines the results of the
operatives’ actions and narrates what they experience. Because the GM can improvise to react to anything the players attempt, D&D (and Mass Effect 5e) is in nitely exible, and each
mission can be exciting and unexpected.
The game has no real end; when one story or quest wraps up, another one can begin, creating an ongoing story called a campaign. Many people who play the game keep their
campaigns going for months or years, meeting with their friends every week or so to pick up the story where they left off. The operatives grow in might as the campaign continues.
Each monster defeated, each mission completed, and each gadget recovered not only adds to the continuing story but also earns the operatives new capabilities. This increase in
power is re ected by an operative’s level.
There’s no winning and losing in the Dungeons & Dragons game—at least, not the way those terms are usually understood. Together, the GM and the players create an exciting story of
bold operatives who confront deadly perils. Sometimes an operative might come to a grisly end, torn apart by ferocious rachni or done in by a nefarious Cerberus assassin. Even so,
the other operatives can search for breaking-edge medical experiments to revive (or clone!) their fallen comrade, or the player might choose to create a new character to carry on. The
group might fail to complete a mission successfully, but if everyone had a good time and created a memorable story, they all win.

A Universe to Explore new
Mass Effect spans two galaxies: the Milky Way and Andromeda. Both have biotics, advanced tech, brave soldiers and fantastic missions. But the galaxies are vastly different. The
Milky Way has been settled by sentient beings for millennia and most of its clusters, star systems, and planets have been charted and explored. It also is home to a variety of sentient
alien species all with their own culture, planets, and colonies, making up a vast galactic community. If you aren't familiar with the rst Mass Effect 3 video games, you can read about
major events and lore at the Mass Effect Wiki. Speci cally, the timeline can get you quickly up to speed to the events of the galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy has a very different feeling. An ancient civilization of "Remnant" seem to exist on every planet, connected by seemingly supernatural threads. Only two known
sentient races existed in the Galaxy before the arrival of the Milky Way races. Now the galaxy and its inhabitants are threatened by a widespread energy phenomenon called, The
Scourge. The Milky Way races arrived on Arks and are working to settle habitable planets around the galaxy and start a new life. If you'd like to read more about the events of Mass
Effect: Andromeda, the wiki has plenty of information.
Both galaxies share the same characteristics that are nascent to Mass Effect, i.e. biotics, tech, and space travel, but each galaxy offers its own zeitgeist and challenges. The Milky
Way is mostly explored and contains extensive urban environments. You could easily set an entire campaign on a single planet and, depending on when you set your campaign on the
timeline, you might also deal with the impending invasion of the Reapers. In contrast, Andromeda is themed for exploration, survival, and being a pioneer. An operatives' primary goal
is that of setting up a thriving civilization in the new galaxy and uncovering its mysterious past. In short, the Milky Way is an urban setting and Andromeda is rural.
Your GM might set the campaign on one of these galaxies or on a single planet that he or she created. Because there is so much diversity among the galaxies in Mass Effect and so
much unwritten lore, you should check with your GM about any house rules that will affect your play of the game. Ultimately, the Galaxy Master is the authority on the campaign and
its setting, even if the setting is a published world.
It is unlikely that your GM will have the campaign span between the two galaxies. The passengers of Andromeda's arks spent 600 years in cryo-sleep. But you could
 certainly spend part of your campaign in the Milky Way and take a 600-year nap!
Using these Rules new
This manual uses the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Basic Rules as its core rule set. If you have never played D&D 5e, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basic
rules rst. Most of those rules are replicated and referenced in the rules section of this Player's Manual.
Not repeated here are basic rules for Dungeon (Galaxy) Masters which have additional rules on running successful campaigns.
Using the Site

The Rules dropdown on the left contains the necessary information you need for creating characters, going on missions, leveling up, casting spells, and acquiring all the different
types of equipment and vehicles available to you. Sections that contain signi cant changes are:
Equipment, which includes brand-new rules for armor, weapons, and mods
Combat, which includes information on kinetic barriers (shields)
Vehicles, which contains a "bolt-on" set of rules for traveling through the galaxy
The Characters dropdown contains the list of options you have when creating your characters which has brand new:
Races
Classes
Backgrounds
The Equipment section has links to all of the equipment lists, weapons, mods, armor, and other unique items.
Spells & Powers contains the list of all the new Spells in this homebrew.
Bestiary has entirely new monsters and aliens to ght.
The Appendix has information on the new and removed Skills and Conditions.
GM Tools contains a number of interesting tools to assist Galaxy Masters in running the game.
VARIANT RULES
Occasionally, you'll see a rule preceded by the word "Variant". This means the rule is optional. In some cases, it may replace an existing rule. For example, the Variant:
Encumbrance rule replaces the standard Lifting & Carrying rules.
 In other instances, the rule may be completely ignored. For example, the Paragon & Renegade system adds rules for utilizing paragon and renegade points. While this
adds a nice touch of avor from the original Mass Effect trilogy, it is not required for this system to work, and it can safely be left out of your campaign if desired.
How to Play
The play of the Dungeons & Dragons game (and by extension, Mass Effect 5e) unfolds according to this basic pattern.
1. The GM describes the environment.

The GM tells the players where their operatives are and what’s around them, presenting the basic scope of options that present themselves (how many airlocks lead out of a space
station, what’s on a table, who’s in the nightclub, and so on).
2. The players describe what they want to do.

Sometimes one player speaks for the whole party, saying, “We’ll take the east door,” for example. Other times, different operatives do different things: one operative might search a
lock box while a second examines an esoteric symbol spray painted on a wall and a third keeps a lookout for thugs. The players don’t need to take turns, but the DM listens to every
player and decides how to resolve those actions.
Sometimes, resolving a task is easy. If an operative wants to walk across a room and open a door, the GM might just say that the door opens and describe what lies beyond. But the
door might be locked, the oor might hide a tripwire, or some other circumstance might make it challenging for an operative to complete a task. In those cases, the GM decides what
happens, often relying on the roll of a die to determine the results of an action.
3. The DM narrates the results of the operatives’ actions.
Describing the results often leads to another decision point, which brings the ow of the game right back to step 1.
This pattern holds whether the operatives are cautiously exploring a derelict ship, talking to a devious politician, or locked in a re ght against a squad of Batarian extremists. In
certain situations, particularly combat, the action is more structured and the players (and GM) do take turns choosing and resolving actions. But most of the time, play is uid and
exible, adapting to the circumstances of the mission.
Often the action of a mission takes place in the imagination of the players and GM, relying on the GM’s verbal descriptions to set the scene. Some GMs like to use music, art, or
recorded sound effects to help set the mood, and many players and GMs alike adopt different voices for the various operatives, aliens, and other characters they play in the game.
Sometimes, a GM might lay out a map and use tokens or miniature gures to represent each creature involved in a scene to help the players keep track of where everyone is.
Game Dice
The game uses polyhedral dice with different numbers of sides. You can nd dice like these in game stores and in many bookstores.
In these rules, the different dice are referred to by the letter d followed by the number of sides: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. For instance, a d6 is a six-sided die (the typical cube that
many games use).
Percentile dice, or d100, work a little differently. You generate a number between 1 and 100 by rolling two different ten-sided dice numbered from 0 to 9. One die (designated before
you roll) gives the tens digit, and the other gives the ones digit. If you roll a 7 and a 1, for example, the number rolled is 71. Two 0s represent 100. Some ten-sided dice are numbered in
tens (00, 10, 20, and so on), making it easier to distinguish the tens digit from the ones digit. In this case, a roll of 70 and 1 is 71, and 00 and 0 is 100.
When you need to roll dice, the rules tell you how many dice to roll of a certain type, as well as what modi ers to add. For example, “3d8 + 5” means you roll three eight-sided dice, add
them together, and add 5 to the total.
The same d notation appears in the expressions “1d3” and “1d2.” To simulate the roll of 1d3, roll a d6 and divide the number rolled by 2 (round up). To simulate the roll of 1d2, roll any
die and assign a 1 or 2 to the roll depending on whether it was odd or even. (Alternatively, if the number rolled is more than half the number of sides on the die, it’s a 2.)
The D20
Does an operative’s Scimitar shotgun blast hurt a Reaper Brute or just bounce off its iron-hard skin? Will the asari believe an outrageous bluff? Can a character swim across a raging
river? Can a character avoid the blast of a fragmentation grenade, or does he or she take full damage from the explosion? In cases where the outcome of an action is uncertain, the
game relies on rolls of a 20-sided die, a d20, to determine success or failure.
Every character and monster in the game has capabilities de ned by six ability scores. The abilities are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, and they
typically range from 3 to 18 for most operatives. (Monsters might have scores as low as 1 or as high as 30.) These ability scores, and the ability modi ers derived from them, are the
basis for almost every d20 roll that a player makes on a character’s or monster’s behalf.
Ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws are the three main kinds of d20 rolls, forming the core of the rules of the game. All three follow these simple steps.
1. Roll the die and add a modi er.

Roll a d20 and add the relevant modi er. This is typically the modi er derived from one of the six ability scores, and it sometimes includes a pro ciency bonus to re ect a character’s
particular skill. (See Step-By-Step Characters for details on each ability and how to determine an ability’s modi er.)
2. Apply circumstantial bonuses and penalties.

A class feature, a spell, a particular circumstance, or some other effect might give a bonus or penalty to the check.
3. Compare the total to a target number.

If the total equals or exceeds the target number, the ability check, attack roll, or saving throw is a success. Otherwise, it’s a failure. The GM is usually the one who determines target
numbers and tells players whether their ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws succeed or fail.
The target number for an ability check or a saving throw is called a Di culty Class (DC). The target number for an attack roll is called an Armor Class (AC).
This simple rule governs the resolution of most tasks in D&D play. Using Ability Scores provides more detailed rules for using the d20 in the game.
Advantage and Disadvantage

Sometimes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw is modi ed by special situations called advantage and disadvantage. Advantage re ects the positive circumstances
surrounding a d20 roll, while disadvantage re ects the opposite. When you have either advantage or disadvantage, you roll a second d20 when you make the roll. Use the higher of the
two rolls if you have advantage, and use the lower roll if you have disadvantage. For example, if you have disadvantage and roll a 17 and a 5, you use the 5. If you instead have
advantage and roll those numbers, you use the 17.
More detailed rules for advantage and disadvantage are presented in the Using Ability Scores section.
Speci c Beats General

This compendium contains rules that govern how the game plays. That said, many racial traits, class features, spells, gadgets, monster abilities, and other game elements break the
general rules in some way, creating an exception to how the rest of the game works. Remember this: If a speci c rule contradicts a general rule, the speci c rule wins.
Exceptions to the rules are often minor. For instance, many operatives don’t have pro ciency with shotguns, but every soldier does because of a class trait. That trait creates a minor
exception in the game. Other examples of rule-breaking are more conspicuous. For instance, an operative can’t normally y, but some spells and armor mods make that possible.
Biotics and tech account for most of the major exceptions to the rules.
Round Down
There’s one more general rule you need to know at the outset. Whenever you divide a number in the game, round down if you end up with a fraction, even if the fraction is one-half or
greater.
text adapted from Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Basic Rules Version 0.3, p. 3-4
Missions
The game consists of a group of characters embarking on a mission that the Galaxy Master presents to them. Each character brings particular capabilities to the mission in the form
of ability scores and skills, class features, racial traits, equipment, and gadgets. Every character is different, with various strengths and weaknesses, so the best party of operatives is
one in which the characters complement each other and cover the weaknesses of their companions. The operatives must cooperate to successfully complete the mission.
The mission is the heart of the game, a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. a mission features a fantastic setting, whether it’s the ruins of an ancient civilization, an asteroid,
a stretch of wilderness, or a bustling city. It features a rich cast of characters: the operatives created and played by the other players at the table, as well as nonplayer characters
(NPCs). Those characters might be patrons, allies, enemies, hirelings, or just background extras in a mission. Often, one of the NPCs is a villain whose agenda drives much of a
mission’s action.
Over the course of their missions, the characters are confronted by a variety of creatures, objects, and situations that they must deal with in some way. Sometimes the operatives and
other creatures do their best to kill or capture each other in combat. At other times, the operatives talk to another creature (or even an AI) with a goal in mind. And often, the operatives
spend time trying to solve a puzzle, bypass an obstacle, nd something hidden, or unravel the current situation. Meanwhile, the operatives explore the galaxy, making decisions about
which way to travel and what they’ll try to do next.
missions vary in length and complexity. A short mission might present only a few challenges, and it might take no more than a single game session to complete. A long mission can
involve hundreds of combats, interactions, and other challenges, and take dozens of sessions to play through, stretching over weeks or months of real time. Usually, the end of a
mission is marked by the operatives heading back to some form of 'home base' to rest and enjoy the spoils of their labors.
But that’s not the end of the story. You can think of a mission as a single episode of a TV series, made up of multiple exciting scenes. A campaign is the whole series—a string of
missions joined together, with a consistent group of operatives following the narrative from start to nish.
The Three Pillars of mission

Exploration includes both the operatives’ movement through the world and their interaction with objects and situations that require their attention. Exploration is the give-and-take of
the players describing what they want their characters to do, and the Galaxy Master telling the players what happens as a result. On a large scale, that might involve the characters
spending a day crossing an icy plain or an hour making their way through tunnels of city's transit tube. On the smallest scale, it could mean one character pushing a button on the
console to see what happens.
Social interaction features the operatives talking to someone (or something) else. It might mean demanding that a captured soldier reveal the passcode to the enemies stronghold,
getting information from a rescued prisoner, pleading for mercy from a krogan chieftain, or persuading a talkative unshackled AI to unlock a navigation route to a distant planet.
The rules in Using Ability Scores and Missions support exploration and social interaction.
Combat, the focus of the Combat section, involves characters and other creatures shooting weapons, casting biotics and tech, maneuvering for position, and so on—all in an effort to
defeat their opponents, whether that means killing every enemy, taking captives, or forcing a rout. Combat is the most structured element of a game session, with creatures taking
turns to make sure that everyone gets a chance to act. Even in the context of a pitched battle, there’s still plenty of opportunity for operatives to attempt wacky stunts like sur ng one
a drone, to examine the environment (perhaps by pushing a very large red button), and to interact with other creatures, including allies, enemies, and neutral parties.
Step-By-Step Characters
Overview
Your rst step in playing an operative in the game is to imagine and create a character of your own. Your character is a combination of game statistics, roleplaying hooks, and your
imagination. You choose a race (such as human or asari) and a class (such as sentinel or vanguard). You also invent the personality, appearance, and backstory of your character.
Once completed, your character serves as your representative in the game, your avatar in the universe.
Before you dive into step 1 below, think about the kind of operative you want to play. You might be a courageous soldier, a skulking in ltrator, a fervent sentinel, or a amboyant adept.
Or you might be more interested in an unconventional character, such as a brawny engineer who likes hand-to-hand combat, or a sharpshooter who picks off enemies from afar.
Once you have a character in mind, follow these steps in order, making decisions that re ect the character you want. The conception of your character might evolve with each choice
you make. What’s important is that you come to the table with a character you’re excited to play.
Throughout this section, the term character sheet means whatever you use to track your character, whether it’s a formal character sheet, some form of digital record, or a piece of
notebook paper.
BUILDING KALEEM
 Each step of character creation includes an example of that step, with a player named Sam building her salarian character, Kaleem.
1. Choose a Race change
Every character belongs to a race, one of the many intelligent humanoid species in the Mass Effect Universe. The most common player character races are asari, humans, krogan,
salarians, and turians. Some races also have subraces, such as pure-blood asari or tank-bred krogan. The Races section provides more information about these races.
The race you choose contributes to your character’s identity in an important way, by establishing a general appearance and the natural talents gained from culture and ancestry. Your
character’s race grants particular racial traits, such as special senses, pro ciency with certain weapons or tools, pro ciency in one or more skills, or the ability to use minor spells.
These traits sometimes dovetail with the capabilities of certain classes (see step 2). For example, the racial traits of batarians make them exceptional soldiers, and asari tend to be
powerful adepts. Sometimes playing against type can be fun, too. salarian soldiers and krogan engineers, for example, can be unusual but memorable characters.
Your race also increases one or more of your ability scores, which you determine in step 3. Note these increases and remember to apply them later.
Record the traits granted by your race on your character sheet. Be sure to note your base speed and size as well.

The available races to play are restricted to the Galaxy in which you set your campaign. The distinctions are based on Bioware's lore. All races, with the exception of Angara, originated
from the Milky Way Galaxy. And most races had an Ark for transportation to the Andromeda galaxy. And in some rare cases, a small group of a race may have found passage onboard
and Ark. For example, a number of batarians were recruited as security assets on Ark Paarchero. Therefore, most races are available in either setting. There are a few races that we've
deemed inappropriate for Andromeda settings, but the nal ruling is at the discretion of your Galaxy Master. See the A Universe to Explore section for more information about the two
Galaxies.
Class Restrictions new

In Mass Effect 5e, class options are restricted by the selected race because biotic abilities available to Adepts, Vanguards, and Sentinels are either rare or non-existent in certain
races. Instead of making our own distinctions about what races can play what classes, we used the race/class combinations available in the Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect:
Andromeda multiplayer systems.
Recommendation, not Law
However, these restrictions should be considered a rule of thumb and are not based on game balance. Therefore, you are encouraged to talk to your Galaxy Masters about other
race/class combinations and make your own decisions. If the decision concerns whether or not a race can play as a biotic-capable class, the Mass Effect Wiki's page about biotics
has a breakdown of the biotic capabilities of each race. Speci cally, the sections titled "Alien Biotics" and "Biotics in Andromeda." If the decision is based on a different combination,
feel free to use your own judgment.
BUILDING KALEEM, STEP 1

Sam is sitting down to create her character. She decides that a wiley salarian ts the character she wants to play and she knows she wants to play with tech spells
 available to the engineer or in ltrator class, both of which are available classes for the salarian race. She notes all the racial traits of salarians on her character sheet,
including her speed of 10m and Medium size.
2. Choose a Class
Every operative is a member of a class. Class broadly describes a character’s vocation, what special talents he or she possesses, and the tactics he or she is most likely to employ
when exploring a planet, ghting alien monsters, or engaging in a tense negotiation. The character classes are described in the Classes section.
Your character receives a number of bene ts from your choice of class. Many of these bene ts are class features — capabilities (including spellcasting) that set your character apart
from members of other classes. You also gain a number of pro ciencies: armor, weapons, skills, saving throws, and sometimes tools. Your pro ciencies de ne many of the things
your character can do particularly well, from using certain weapons to telling a convincing lie.
On your character sheet, record all the features that your class gives you at 1st level
Level
Typically, a character starts at 1st level and advances in level by adventuring and gaining experience points (XP). A 1st-level character is inexperienced in the adventuring world,
although he or she might have been a soldier or a space pirate and done dangerous things before.
Starting off at 1st level marks your character’s entry into the adventuring life. If you’re already familiar with the game, or if you are joining an existing ME5e campaign, your GM might
decide to have you begin at a higher level, on the assumption that your character has already survived a few harrowing missions.
Record your level on your character sheet. If you’re starting at a higher level, record the additional elements your class gives you for your levels past 1st. Also, record your experience
points. A 1st-level character has 0 XP. A higher-level character typically begins with the minimum amount of XP required to reach that level (see “Beyond 1st Level” later in this
section).
Hit Points and Hit Die

Your character’s hit points de ne how tough your character is in combat and other dangerous situations. Your hit points are determined by your Hit Dice (short for Hit Point Dice).
At 1st level, your character has 1 Hit Die, and the die type is determined by your class. You start with hit points equal to the highest roll of that die, as indicated in your class
description. (You also add your Constitution modi er, which you’ll determine in step 3.) This is also your hit point maximum.
Record your character’s hit points on your character sheet. Also, record the type of Hit Die your character uses and the number of Hit Dice you have. After you rest, you can spend Hit
Dice to regain hit points (see Resting in the Missions section).
Pro ciency Bonus

The table that appears in your class description shows your pro ciency bonus, which is +2 for a 1st-level character. Your pro ciency bonus applies to many of the numbers you’ll be
recording on your character sheet:
Attack rolls using weapons you’re pro cient with

Attack rolls with spells you cast
Ability checks using skills you’re pro cient in
Ability checks using tools you’re pro cient with
Saving throws you’re pro cient in
Saving throw DCs for spells you cast (explained in each spellcasting class)
Your class determines your weapon pro ciencies, your saving throw pro ciencies, and some of your skill and tool pro ciencies. (Skills are described in Using Ability Scores, tools in
Equipment.) Your background gives you additional skill and tool pro ciencies, and some races give you more pro ciencies. Be sure to note all of these pro ciencies, as well as your
pro ciency bonus, on your character sheet.
Your pro ciency bonus can’t be added to a single die roll or other number more than once. Occasionally, your pro ciency bonus might be modi ed (doubled or halved, for example)
before you apply it. If a circumstance suggests that your pro ciency bonus applies more than once to the same roll or that it should be multiplied more than once, you nevertheless
add it only once, multiply it only once, and halve it only once.

Sam imagines Keleem ring tech spells from the safety of cover. She makes Kaleem an engineer and notes the engineers’ pro ciencies and 1st-level class features on
her character sheet.
 As a 1st-level engineer, Kaleem has 1 Hit Die, a d8, and starts with hit points equal to 8 + her Constitution modi er. Sam notes this and will record the nal number after
she determines Kaleem’s Constitution score (see step 3). Sam also notes the pro ciency bonus for a 1st-level character, which is +2.
3. Determine Ability Scores
Much of what your character does in the game depends on his or her six abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Each ability has a score,
which is a number you record on your character sheet.
The six abilities and their use in the game are described in the Using Ability Scores section. The Ability Score Summary provides a quick reference for what qualities are measured by
each ability, what races increases which abilities, and what classes consider each ability particularly important.

Wisdom Charisma
Measures Measures
Awareness, intuition, insight, biotic capabilities Con dence, eloquence, leadership
Important For Important For
adept, vanguard, sentinel asari, performers, politicians
You generate your character’s six ability scores randomly. Roll four 6-sided dice and record the total of the highest three dice on a piece of scratch paper. Do this ve more times, so
that you have six numbers. If you want to save time or don’t like the idea of randomly determining ability scores, you can use the following scores instead: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
Now take your six numbers and write each number beside one of your character’s six abilities to assign scores to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Afterward, make any changes to your ability scores as a result of your race choice.
After assigning your ability scores, determine your ability modi ers using the Ability Scores and Modi ers table. To determine an ability modi er without consulting the table, subtract
10 from the ability score and then divide the result by 2 (round down). Write the modi er next to each of your scores.

Sam decides to use the standard set of scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) for Kaleem’s abilities. Since she’s an engineer, she puts her highest score, 15, in Intelligence. Her
next-highest, 14, goes in Dexterity. Kaleem might be a charismatic, good leader, but Sam decides she wants the salarian to be tougher and stronger than most of her
 kind, so she puts decent scores in Strength and Constitution. After applying her racial bene ts (increasing Kaleems’s Intelligence by 2 and her Dexterity by 1), Kaleem’s
ability scores and modi ers look like this: Strength 12 (+1), Dexterity 15 (+2), Constitution 13 (+1), Intelligence 17 (+3), Wisdom 10 (0), Charisma 8 (-1).
Sam lls in Kaleem’s nal hit points: 8 + her Constitution modi er of +1, for a total of 9 hit points.
Variant: Customizing Ability Scores

At your Galaxy Master’s option, you can use this variant for determining your ability scores. The method described here allows you to build a character with a set of ability scores you
choose individually.
You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown on the Ability Score Point Cost table. For example, a score of 14 costs 7 points. Using this
method, 15 is the highest ability score you can end up with, before applying racial increases. You can’t have a score lower than 8.
This method of determining ability scores enables you to create a set of three high numbers and three low ones (15, 15, 15, 8, 8, 8), a set of numbers that are above average and nearly
equal (13, 13, 13, 12, 12, 12), or any set of numbers between those extremes.

4. Describe Your Character
Once you know the basic game aspects of your character, it’s time to esh him or her out as a person. Your character’s name, physical description, and personality might be the rst
things that the other players at the table learn about you. It’s worth thinking about how these characteristics re ect the character you have in mind. Or you can randomize you
characters height and weight.

Your Character's Abilities

Take your character’s ability scores and race into account as you esh out his or her appearance and personality. A very strong character with low Intelligence might think and behave
very differently from a very smart character with low Strength.
For example, high Strength usually corresponds with a burly or athletic body, while a character with low Strength might be scrawny or plump.
A character with high Dexterity is probably lithe and slim, while a character with low Dexterity might be either gangly and awkward or heavy and thick- ngered.
A character with high Constitution usually looks healthy, with bright eyes and abundant energy. A character with low Constitution might be sickly or frail.
A character with high Intelligence might be highly inquisitive and studious, while a character with low Intelligence might speak simply or easily forget details.
A character with high Wisdom has good judgment, empathy, and a general awareness of what’s going on. A character with low Wisdom might be absent-minded, foolhardy, or
oblivious.
A character with high Charisma exudes con dence, which is usually mixed with a graceful or intimidating presence. A character with a low Charisma might come across as abrasive,
inarticulate, or timid.

Sam lets her ability scores in uence the type of character Kaleem is: her high Intelligence suggests a rapid, focused mind, higher Strength and Constitution suggest a
healthy, athletic body, and her low Charisma suggests stand-o sh or awkward social decorum.
4.a Appearance
Name
Your character’s race description includes sample names for members of that race. Put some thought into your name even if you’re just picking one from a list.
Sex
You can play a male or female character without gaining any special bene ts or hindrances. Think about how your character does or does not conform to the broader culture’s
expectations of sex, gender, and sexual behavior.
You don’t need to be con ned to binary notions of sex and gender. For example, asari only have a single "gender", which is generally seen by other races as female (they also utilize
female pronouns). But an asari considers herself as androgynous or hermaphroditic. You could also play a male character who presents himself as a female, a woman who feels
trapped in a male body, or a tough looking female krogan who hates being mistaken for a male. Likewise, your character’s sexual orientation is for you to decide.
Height and Weight

You can decide your character’s height and weight, using the information provided in your race description. Think about what your character’s ability scores might say about his or her
height and weight. A weak but agile character might be thin. A strong and tough character might be tall or just heavy.
Other Characteristics
You choose your character’s age and the color of his or her hair, eyes, and skin. To add a touch of distinctiveness, you might want to give your character an unusual or memorable
physical characteristic, such as a scar, a limp, or a tattoo.
BUILDING KALEEM, STEP 4.A

Sam lls in some of Kaleem’s basic details: her name, her sex (female), her height and weight, and the fact that she is missing a cranial ridge (making her unattractive
being by salarian standards).
text adapted from Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Basic Rules Version 0.3, p. 8-9, 33
4.b Alignment
A typical creature in the game world has an alignment, which broadly describes its moral and personal attitudes. Alignment is a combination of two factors: one identi es morality
(good, evil, or neutral), and the other describes attitudes toward society and order (lawful, chaotic, or neutral). Thus, nine distinct alignments de ne the possible combinations.
These brief summaries of the nine alignments describe the typical behavior of a creature with that alignment. Individuals might vary signi cantly from that typical behavior, and few
people are perfectly and consistently faithful to the precepts of their alignment.
Lawful good (LG) creatures can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society. Asari justicars, quarians, and some turians are lawful good.
Neutral good (NG) beings do the best they can to help others according to their needs. Many salarians and most protheans are neutral good.
Chaotic good (CG) creatures act as their conscience directs, with little regard for what others expect. Some angara, asari, and a number of humans are chaotic good.
Lawful neutral (LN) individuals act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes. Some geth, volus, and most drell are lawful neutral.
Neutral (N) is the alignment of those who prefer to steer clear of moral questions and don’t take sides, doing what seems best at the time. Volus, some batarians, and many humans
are neutral.
Chaotic neutral (CN) creatures follow their whims, holding their personal freedom above all else. Maiden asari, some vorcha, and humans are chaotic neutral.
Lawful evil (LE) creatures methodically take what they want, within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order. Most Krogan, volus, and batarians are lawful evil.
Neutral evil (NE) is the alignment of those who do whatever they can get away with, without compassion or qualms. Heretic geth, Reapers, and vorcha are neutral evil.
Chaotic evil (CE) creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their greed, hatred, or bloodlust. Some Krogan, batarians, and some Vorcha are chaotic evil.
BUILDING KALEEM, STEP 4.B

Sam picks a lawful alignment for Kaleem, as she buys into the tradition of the Blue Suns and respects their codes. Kaleem's lack of empathy makes her neutral in her
disposition for moral codes.
text adapted from Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Basic Rules Version 0.3, p. 8-9, 33-34
4.c Background
Every story has a beginning. Your character’s background reveals where you came from, how you became an operative, and your place in the galaxy. Your soldier might have been a
mercenary or a former Specter. Your adept could have been a government experiment or a celebrated artisan. Your in ltrator might be a political assassin or gathered intel for the
Shadow Broker.
Choosing a background provides you with important story cues about your character’s identity. The most important question to ask about your background is what changed? Why did
you stop doing whatever your background describes and start adventuring? Where did you get the credits to purchase your starting gear, or, if you come from a wealthy background,
why don’t you have more money? How did you learn the skills of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share your background?
A background also gives your character a background feature (a general bene t) and pro ciency in two skills, and it might also give you additional pro ciency with certain kinds of
tools. Record this information, along with the personality information you develop, on your character sheet.
BUILDING KALEEM, STEP 4.C

Sam decides that Kaleem comes from a lowly background, rummaging the slums of Omega. When she was caught stealing equipment from the Blue Suns, the general
 spared her life but put her to work scrapping and repairing weapons, mechs, and other tech. Sam chooses the scrapper background fro Kaleem. She notes the
pro ciencies and special feature this background gives her.
text adapted from Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Basic Rules Version 0.3, p. 8-9, 36
4.d Personality
Fleshing out your character’s personality — the array of traits, mannerisms, habits, beliefs, and aws that give a person a unique identity — will help you bring him or her to life as you
play the game. Four categories of characteristics are presented here: personality traits, ideals, bonds, and aws. Beyond those categories, think about your character’s favorite words
or phrases, tics and habitual gestures, vices and pet peeves, and whatever else you can imagine.
Each background presented later in this section includes suggested characteristics that you can use to spark your imagination. You’re not bound to those options, but they’re a good
starting point.
Personality Traits
Give your character two personality traits. Personality traits are small, simple ways to help you set your character apart from every other character. Your personality traits should tell
you something interesting and fun about your character. They should be self-descriptions that are speci c about what makes your character stand out. “I’m smart” is not a good trait,
because it describes a lot of characters. “I’ve read every book in on the Exonet” tells you something speci c about your character’s interests and disposition.
Personality traits might describe the things your character likes, his or her past accomplishments, things your character dislikes or fears, your character’s self-attitude or mannerisms,
or the in uence of his or her ability scores.
A useful place to start thinking about personality traits is to look at your highest and lowest ability scores and de ne one trait related to each. Either one could be positive or negative:
you might work hard to overcome a low score, for example, or be cocky about your high score.
Ideals
Describe one ideal that drives your character. Your ideals are the things that you believe in most strongly, the fundamental moral and ethical principles that compel you to act as you
do. Ideals encompass everything from your life goals to your core belief system.
Ideals might answer any of these questions: What are the principles that you will never betray? What would prompt you to make sacri ces? What drives you to act and guides your
goals and ambitions? What is the single most important thing you strive for?
You can choose any ideals you like, but your character’s alignment is a good place to start de ning them. Each background includes six suggested ideals. Five of them are linked to
aspects of alignment: law, chaos, good, evil, and neutrality. The last one has more to do with the particular background than with moral or ethical perspectives.
Bonds
Create one bond for your character. Bonds represent a character’s connections to people, places, and events in the world. They tie you to things from your background. They might
inspire you to heights of heroism, or lead you to act against your own best interests if they are threatened. They can work very much like ideals, driving a character’s motivations and
goals.
Bonds might answer any of these questions: Whom do you care most about? To what place do you feel a special connection? What is your most treasured possession?
Your bonds might be tied to your class, your background, your race, or some other aspect of your character’s history or personality. You might also gain new bonds over the course of
your missions.
Flaws
Finally, choose a aw for your character. Your character’s aw represents some vice, compulsion, fear, or weakness — in particular, anything that someone else could exploit to bring
you to ruin or cause you to act against your best interests. More signi cant than negative personality traits, a aw might answer any of these questions: What enrages you? What’s the
one person, concept, or event that you are terri ed of? What are your vices?
BUILDING KALEEM, STEP 4.D

Sam has a pretty clear picture of Kaleem’s personality in mind, so she skips the personality traits suggested in the scrapper background, noting instead that Kaleem is
aloof and soft-spoken. She is distrustful of strangers but ercely loyal to her friends. She chooses the ideal of change from the list in her background, noting that Kaleem
 believes that the only constant in the universe is change.

Given her history, Kaleem’s bond is obvious: she owes her life to the Blue Suns. Her aw is that she lacks empathy which has caused her to do some morally
questionable deeds without thinking twice.
text adapted from Dungeons & Dragons: Player's Basic Rules Version 0.3, p. 8-9, 34-35
4.e Languages change
Languages are not a part of Mass Effect 5e. Our interpretation is that there is enough technology to translate languages on the y, making it seem that everyone is speaking the same
common tongue. Even new discovered races can have their languages mapped into a universal translator in a number of hours utilizing underlying linguistic morphisms and lexical
cues fed into a supercomputer. However, how you and your GM choose to handle ancient or alien languages is up to your party. Your asari archaeologist might be an expert in ancient
alien glyphs or you might lay a Krogan who is known for reciting poetry in an old dialect. This type of avor is encouraged, but this system does not codify any speci c languages.
5. Choose Equipment change
Your class and background determine your character’s starting equipment, including weapons, armor, and other adventuring gear. Record this equipment on your character sheet. All
such items are detailed in the Equipment section.
Starting Credits change Instead of taking the gear given to you by your class and background, you can purchase your starting equipment. You have a number of credits to
spend based on your race (not your class as in D&D 5th). The range of average starting credits is roughly equivalent across races, but the variability changes based on race. Long-lived
races (asari and krogan) have lower variability, whereas short-lived races (salarians and vorcha) have a high variability.
Your Strength score limits the amount of gear you can carry and armor you can wear. Try not to purchase equipment with a total weight exceeding your Strength score times 2. Using
Ability Scores has more information on carrying capacity.
Armor Class
Your Armor Class (AC) represents how well your character avoids being wounded in combat. Things that contribute to your AC include the armor you wear and your Dexterity modi er.
Not all characters wear armor, however.
Without armor, your character’s AC equals 10 + his or her Dexterity modi er. If your character wears armor, calculate your AC using the rules in the Armor section. Record your AC on
your character sheet.
Your character needs to be pro cient with armor to wear and use it effectively, and your armor pro ciencies are determined by your class. There are drawbacks to wearing armor if you
lack the required pro ciency, as explained in the Equipment section.
Some spells and class features give you a different way to calculate your AC. If you have multiple features that give you different ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to
use.
Weapons
For each weapon your character wields, calculate the modi er you use when you attack with the weapon and the damage you deal when you hit.
When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your pro ciency bonus (but only if you are pro cient with the weapon) and the appropriate ability modi er.
For attacks with melee weapons, use your Strength modi er for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the nesse property, such as a monomolecular blade, can use your
Dexterity modi er instead.
For attacks with ranged weapons, use your Dexterity modi er for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the recoil property, such as the M-300 Claymore, can use your Strength
modi er instead.

Sam writes down the starting equipment from the engineer class and the scrapper background. Her starting equipment includes Stock Medium Armor which (after
adding her Dexterity modi er) gives Kaleem an Armor Class of 16.
For Kaleem’s weapons, Sam chooses an M-8 Avenger (because she took the Assault Ri e pro ciency) and an Omni-torch. Her M-8 Avenger is a ranged weapon, so
 Kaleem uses her Dexterity modi er for her attacks and damage. Her attack bonus is her Dexterity modi er (+2) plus her pro ciency bonus (+2), for a total of +2. The M-8
Avenger deals 1d8 piercing damage, and Kaleem adds her Dexterity modi er to the damage when she hits, for a total of 1d8 + 2 piercing damage. When using the Omni-
torch, a melee weapon, Kaleem uses her Strength modi er (+1) but she does not add her pro ciency bonus because she is not pro cient with melee weapons. The
weapon deals 1d6 + 1 re damage when it hits.
Coming Together
Most characters don’t work alone. Each character plays a role within a party, a group of operatives working together for a common purpose. Teamwork and cooperation greatly
improve your party’s chances to survive the many perils in the galaxy. Talk to your fellow players and your GM to decide whether your characters know one another, how they met, and
what sorts of assignments the group might undertake.
Beyond 1st Level
Overview
As your character goes on missions and overcomes challenges, he or she gains experience, represented by experience points. A character who reaches a speci ed experience point
total advances in capability. This advancement is called gaining a level.
Class Features and Hit Dice

When your character gains a level, his or her class often grants additional features, as detailed in the class description. Some of these features allow you to increase your ability
scores, either increasing two scores by 1 each or increasing one score by 2. You can’t increase an ability score above 20. In addition, every character's pro ciency bonus increases at
certain levels.
Each time you gain a level, you gain 1 additional Hit Die. Roll that Hit Die, add your Constitution modi er to the roll, and add the total to your hit point maximum. Alternatively, you can
use the xed value shown in your class entry, which is the average result of the die roll (rounded up).
When your Constitution modi er increases by 1, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained. For example, if your 7th-level soldier has a Constitution score
of 17, when he reaches 8th level, he increases his Constitution score from 17 to 18, thus increasing his Constitution modi er from +3 to +4. His hit point maximum then increases by 8
(1 additional hit point for each level).
XP and Pro ciency Bonus Progression

The Character Advancement table summarizes the XP you need to advance in levels from level 1 through level 20 and the pro ciency bonus for a character of that level. Consult the
information in your character's class description to see what other improvements you gain at each level.

Multiclassing change
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be re ected in one of the
standard class options.
With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new class whenever you advance in level, instead of gaining a level in your current class. Your levels in all your classes are
added together to determine your character level. For example, if you have three levels in engineer and two in sentinel, you're a 5th-level character.
As you advance in levels, you might primarily remain a member of your original class with just a few levels in another class, or you might change course entirely, never looking back at
the class you left behind. You might even start progressing in a third or fourth class. Compared to a single-class character of the same level, you'll sacri ce some focus in exchange
for versatility.
Prerequisites
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. For example,
a vanguard who decides to multiclass into the in ltrator class must have both Dexterity and Intelligence scores of 13 or higher. Without the full training that a beginning character
receives, you must be a quick study in your new class, having a natural aptitude that is re ected by higher-than-average ability scores.
Multiclassing Prerequisites table

Class Ability Score Minimum
Adept Wisdom 13
Engineer Intelligence 13
In ltrator Dexterity 13 and Intelligence 13
Sentinel Intelligence 13 or Wisdom 13
Soldier Strength 13 or Dexterity 13
Vanguard Strength 13 and Wisdom 13
Experience Points
The experience point cost to gain a level is always based on your total character level, as shown in the Character Advancement table, not your level in a particular class. So, if you are
an engineer 6/adept 1, you must gain enough XP to reach 8th level before you can take your second level as an adept or your seventh level as an engineer.
Hit Points and Hit Dice

You gain the hit points from your new class as described for levels after 1st. You gain the 1st-level hit points for a class only when you are a 1st-level character.
You add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes to form your pool of Hit Dice. If the Hit Dice are the same die type, you can simply pool them together. For example, both the
sentinel and the soldier have a d10, so if you are a sentinel 5/soldier 5, you have ten d10 Hit Dice. If your classes give you Hit Dice of different types, keep track of them separately. If
you are a sentinel 5/vanguard 5, for example, you have ve d10 Hit Dice and ve d12 Hit Dice.
Pro ciency Bonus

Your pro ciency bonus is always based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class. For example, if you are a soldier 3/in ltrator 2, you have the pro ciency bonus
of a 5th-level character, which is +3.
Pro ciencies
When you gain your rst level in a class other than your initial class, you gain only some of new class's starting pro ciencies, as shown in the Multiclassing Pro ciencies table.
Multiclassing Proficiencies table

Class Pro ciencies Gained
Adept SMGs
Engineer Assault Ri es, Medium Armor
In ltrator Sniper Ri es and Melee Weapons
Sentinel Medium Armor, Heavy Armor, and choose 1 weapon type from Assault Ri es, Melee, Shotguns, or SMGS
Soldier 2 weapon types, Medium Armor, Heavy Armor
Vanguard Shotguns, Medium Armor
Class Features
When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level. You don't, however, receive the class's starting equipment, and a few features have additional rules when you're
multiclassing: Barrier, Extra Attack, and Spellcasting.
Barrier new
Your barrier capacity depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. You determine your barrier capacity
by adding together all your levels in the vanguard class and half your levels (rounded down) in the adept and sentinel classes. Use this total to determine your barrier capacity by
consulting the Multiclassing Barrier table.

Extra Attack
If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than one class, the features don't add together. You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as
the soldier's version of Extra Attack does).
Spellcasting change
Spells known and prepared: You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are an adept
4/engineer 3, for example, you know six 1st-level adept spells and ve adept cantrips based on your levels in the adept class. As a 3rd-level engineer, you can prepare 3 engineer
spells. If your Intelligence is 16, you can prepare six engineer spells.
Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell.
You can only use spell slots to cast biotic spells and you can only use tech points to cast tech spells. The exception is Sentinels that can use their spell slots to cast biotic or tech
spells.
Biotic Spell Slots: You determine your available spell slots and cantrips by adding together all your levels in the adept class and half your levels (rounded down) in the sentinel and
vanguard classes. Use this total to determine your spell slots and cantrips by consulting the Multiclassing Biotics table.

Inspiration
Inspiration is a rule the galaxy master can use to reward you for playing your character in a way that’s true to his or her personality traits, ideal, bond, and aw.
Gaining Inspiration
Your GM can choose to give you inspiration for a variety of reasons. Typically, GMs award it when you play out your personality traits, give in to the drawbacks presented by a aw or
bond, and otherwise portray your character in a compelling way. Your GM will tell you how you can earn inspiration in the game.
You either have inspiration or you don’t - you can’t stockpile multiple “inspirations” for later use.
Using Inspiration
If you have inspiration, you can expend it when you make an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. Spending your inspiration gives you advantage on that roll.
Additionally, if you have inspiration, you can reward another player for good roleplaying, clever thinking, or simply doing something exciting in the game. When another player character
does something that really contributes to the story in a fun and interesting way, you can give up your inspiration to give that character inspiration.
Variant: Paragon & Renegade new
With the Variant: Paragon & Renegade (P/R) rule, players accrue points in either Paragon or Renegade which can add bonuses to skill checks.
Earning Points
The primary way to each Paragon or Renegade points is by taking actions or role-playing that personality. This mechanic works similarly rewarding Inspiration (described above), but
the reward can be 1-5 points based on the impact of the choice and whether the choice aligns with Paragon or Renegade. GMs can also reward points to the entire party based on a
decision they make while playing the game. Did the party destroy the potentially life-threatening biological weapon (Renegade) or send it to authorities for research in vaccinations
(Paragon).
Point maximum
You can gain points in Paragon and Renegade, but your total combined points can never be more than 100. For Galaxy Masters, you want to award about 5 points of paragon or
renegade per player level. I.e., a level 20 character should have about 100 points if they added their P/R scores together.
Using points
Your Paragon and Renegade points can add a bonus to skill checks. You gain a +1 bonus to your skill check for every 10 Paragon or Renegade points you have. For example, if you
had 14 Paragon points and 22 Renegade points, you would add +1 to any paragon rolls and +2 to any renegade rolls.
A Paragon or Renegade roll is any skill check in which your GM allows your P/R bonus to augment the outcome of the roll. It's the player's responsibility to ask the Galaxy Master
about adding the P/R bonus, but the Galaxy Master can proactively ask for a check with the P/R bonus added.
When to or when not to apply P/R bonus to a roll is entirely up to the GM. However, the rule of thumb is that the action taken is more Paragon-like or more Renegade-like than what an
average sentient being would do.
Paragon vs Renegade
What constitutes Paragon and what constitutes Renegade is a bit fuzzy. Paragon is neither Lawful nor Good, just as Renegade is neither Evil nor Chaotic. However, both traits tend to
fall closer to those respective spectra.
Try to think of Paragon and Renegade avors of a character's or party's choices. Paragon choices are open-ended, allowing for future possibilities, utilitarian (bene ts the most
people), logical, and rely on the pen over the sword. Renegade choices are decisive and nal, emotional, gain immediate results, and often use a show of force.
Paragon examples
Acrobatics: jump in front of a bullet to protect someone
Athletics: Hold fast a door why your party escapes a threat
Intimidation: Threaten someone with justice
Medicine: Stabilize an enemy because they might provide information
Vehicle Handling: Lead your chasers right to the authorities
Renegade examples
Athletics: Hold fast a door so the threat burns inside
Deception: Convince the bounty hunters their target ed into that cave (which happens to be booby-trapped)
Electronics: Broadcast the controversial research to the galaxy, let the politicians and scientists gure it out
Intimidation: Threaten someone with pain
Vehicle Handling: Lead your chasers right into a reinforced-steel wall
Using Ability Scores
Overview
Six abilities provide a quick description of every creature's physical and mental characteristics:
Strength, measuring physical power

Dexterity, measuring agility
Constitution, measuring endurance
Intelligence, measuring reasoning and memory
Wisdom, measuring perception and insight
Charisma, measuring force of personality
Is a character muscle-bound and insightful? Brilliant and charming? Nimble and hardy? Ability scores de ne these qualities - a creature's assets as well as weaknesses. The three
main rolls of the game - the ability check, the saving throw, and the attack roll - rely on the six ability scores. The Introduction describes the basic rule behind these rolls: roll a d20, add
an ability modi er derived from one of the six ability scores, and compare the total to a target number.
Ability Scores and Modi ers
Each of a creature's abilities has a score, a number that de nes the magnitude of that ability. An ability score is not just a measure of innate capabilities but also encompasses a
creature's training and competence in activities related to that ability.
A score of 10 or 11 is the normal human average, but operatives and many monsters are a cut above average in most abilities. A score of 18 is the highest that a person usually
reaches. operatives can have scores as high as 20, and monsters can have scores as high as 30.
Each ability also has a modi er, derived from the score and ranging from -5 (for an ability score of 1) to +10 (for a score of 30). The Ability Scores and Modi ers table notes the ability
modi ers for the range of possible ability scores, from 1 to 30.

Advantage and Disadvantage
Sometimes a special ability or spell tells you that you have advantage or disadvantage on an ability check, a saving throw, or an attack roll. When that happens, you roll a second d20
when you make the roll. Use the higher of the two rolls if you have advantage, and use the lower roll if you have disadvantage. For example, if you have disadvantage and roll a 17 and
a 5, you use the 5. If you instead have advantage and roll those numbers, you use the 17.
If multiple situations affect a roll and each one grants advantage or imposes disadvantage on it, you don't roll more than one additional d20. If two favorable situations grant
advantage, for example, you still roll only one additional d20.
If circumstances cause a roll to have both advantage and disadvantage, you are considered to have neither of them, and you roll one d20. This is true even if multiple circumstances
impose disadvantage and only one grants advantage or vice versa. In such a situation, you have neither advantage nor disadvantage.
When you have advantage or disadvantage and something in the game, such as the volus' Lucky trait, lets you reroll the d20, you can reroll only one of the dice. You choose which one.
For example, if a volus has advantage or disadvantage on an ability check and rolls a 1 and a 13, the volus could use the Lucky trait to reroll the 1.
You usually gain advantage or disadvantage through the use of special abilities, actions, or spells. Inspiration can also give a character advantage. The GM can also decide that
circumstances in uence a roll in one direction or the other and grant advantage or impose disadvantage as a result.
Pro ciency Bonus
Characters have a pro ciency bonus determined by level. Monsters also have this bonus, which is incorporated in their stat blocks. The bonus is used in the rules on ability checks,
saving throws, and attack rolls.
Your pro ciency bonus can’t be added to a single die roll or other number more than once. For example, if two different rules say you can add your pro ciency bonus to a Wisdom
saving throw, you nevertheless add the bonus only once when you make the save.
Occasionally, your pro ciency bonus might be multiplied or divided (doubled or halved, for example) before you apply it. For example, the in ltrator’s Expertise feature doubles the
pro ciency bonus for certain ability checks. If a circumstance suggests that your pro ciency bonus applies more than once to the same roll, you still add it only once and multiply or
divide it only once.
By the same token, if a feature or effect allows you to multiply your pro ciency bonus when making an ability check that wouldn’t normally bene t from your pro ciency bonus, you
still don’t add the bonus to the check. For that check, your pro ciency bonus is 0, given the fact that multiplying 0 by any number is still 0. For instance, if you lack pro ciency in the
History skill, you gain no bene t from a feature that lets you double your pro ciency bonus when you make Intelligence (History) checks.
In general, you don’t multiply your pro ciency bonus for attack rolls or saving throws. If a feature or effect allows you to do so, these same rules apply.
Ability Checks change
An ability check tests a character's or monster's innate talent and training in an effort to overcome a challenge. The GM calls for an ability check when a character or monster
attempts an action (other than an attack) that has a chance of failure. When the outcome is uncertain, the dice determine the results.
For every ability check, the GM decides which of the six abilities is relevant to the task at hand and the di culty of the task, represented by a Di culty Class. The more di cult a task,
the higher its DC. The Typical Di culty Classes table shows the most common DCs.
Typical Di culty Classes

Typical Difficulty Classes table
Task Di culty DC
Very Easy 5
Easy 10
Medium 15
Hard 20
Very Hard 25
Nearly impossible 30
To make an ability check, roll a d20 and add the relevant ability modi er. As with other d20 rolls, apply bonuses and penalties, and compare the total to the DC. If the total equals or
exceeds the DC, the ability check is a success - the creature overcomes the challenge at hand. Otherwise, it's a failure, which means the character or monster makes no progress
toward the objective or makes progress combined with a setback determined by the GM.
Contests
Sometimes one character's or monster's efforts are directly opposed to another's. This can occur when both of them are trying to do the same thing and only one can succeed, such
as attempting to snatch up a grenade that has fallen on the oor.
This situation also applies when one of them is trying to prevent the other one from accomplishing a goal - for example, when a brute tries to force open a door that an operative is
holding closed. In situations like these, the outcome is determined by a special form of ability check, called a contest.
Both participants in a contest make ability checks appropriate to their efforts. They apply all appropriate bonuses and penalties, but instead of comparing the total to a DC, they
compare the totals of their two checks. The participant with the higher check total wins the contest. That character or monster either succeeds at the action or prevents the other one
from succeeding.
If the contest results in a tie, the situation remains the same as it was before the contest. Thus, one contestant might win the contest by default. If two characters tie in a contest to
snatch a grenade the oor, neither character grabs it. In a contest between a monster trying to open a door and an operative trying to keep the door closed, a tie means that the door
remains shut.
Skills change
Mass Effect 5e is a sci- setting, thus some of the fantasy skills (like religion and arcana) have been replaced with new skills.
Removed Skills: Animal Handling, Arcana, Nature, Religion
New Skills: Electronics, Engineering, Science, Vehicle Handling
Each ability covers a broad range of capabilities, including skills that a character or a monster can be pro cient in. A skill represents a speci c aspect of an ability score, and an
individual's pro ciency in a skill demonstrates a focus on that aspect. A character's starting skill pro ciencies are determined at character creation, and a monster's skill pro ciencies
appear in the monster's stat block.
For example, a Dexterity check might re ect a character's attempt to pull off an acrobatic stunt, to palm an object, or to stay hidden. Each of these aspects of Dexterity has an
associated skill: Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth, respectively. So a character who has pro ciency in the Stealth skill is particularly good at Dexterity checks related to
sneaking and hiding.
The skills related to each ability score are shown in the following list. No skills are related to Constitution. See an ability's description in the Appendix: Skills for examples of how to
use a skill associated with an ability.
Strength
Athletics
Dexterity
Acrobatics
Sleight of Hand
Stealth
Vehicle Handling
Intelligence
Electronics
Engineering
History
Investigation
Science
Wisdom
Insight
Medicine
Perception
Survival
Charisma
Deception
Intimidation
Performance
Persuasion
Sometimes, the GM might ask for an ability check using a speci c skill - for example, “Make a Wisdom (Perception) check.” At other times, a player might ask the GM if pro ciency in a
particular skill applies to a check. In either case, pro ciency in a skill means an individual can add his or her pro ciency bonus to ability checks that involve that skill. Without
pro ciency in the skill, the individual makes a normal ability check.
For example, if a character attempts to climb up a dangerous cliff, the GM might ask for a Strength (Athletics) check. If the character is pro cient in Athletics, the character's
pro ciency bonus is added to the Strength check. If the character lacks that pro ciency, he or she just makes a Strength check.
Variant: Paragon & Renegade new

In Mass Effect 5e, you may also choose to use the Variant: Paragon & Renegade. This new rule allows you to apply another bonus to your ability checks, pending the context of your
action is "Paragon-ish" or "Renegade-ish".
Passive Checks
A passive check is a special kind of ability check that doesn't involve any die rolls. Such a check can represent the average result for a task done repeatedly, such as searching for
laser tripwires over and over again, or can be used when the GM wants to secretly determine whether the characters succeed at something without rolling dice, such as noticing a
hidden sniper.
Here's how to determine a character's total for a passive check:
10 + all modi ers that normally apply to the check
If the character has advantage on the check, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5. The game refers to a passive check total as a score.
For example, if a 1st-level character has a Wisdom of 15 and pro ciency in Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Perception) score of 14. The rules on hiding in the Dexterity
section below rely on passive checks, as do the exploration rules.
Working together
Sometimes two or more characters team up to attempt a task. The character who's leading the effort - or the one with the highest ability modi er - can make an ability check with
advantage, re ecting the help provided by the other characters. In combat, this requires the Help action.
A character can only provide help if the task is one that he or she could attempt alone. For example, trying to hack a security system requires pro ciency with hacking tools, so a
character who lacks that pro ciency can't help another character in that task.
Moreover, a character can help only when two or more individuals working together would actually be productive. Some tasks, such as reloading a thermal clip, are no easier with help.
Group Checks
When a number of individuals are trying to accomplish something as a group, the GM might ask for a group ability check. In such a situation, the characters who are skilled at a
particular task help cover those who aren't.
To make a group ability check, everyone in the group makes the ability check. If at least half the group succeeds, the whole group succeeds.
Otherwise, the group fails. Group checks don't come up very often, and they're most useful when all the characters succeed or fail as a group. For example, when operatives are
navigating a swamp, the GM might call for a group Wisdom (Survival) check to see if the characters can avoid the quicksand, sinkholes, and other natural hazards of the environment.
If at least half the group succeeds, the successful characters are able to guide their companions out of danger. Otherwise, the group stumbles into one of these hazards.
Strength change
Strength measures bodily power, athletic training, and the extent to which you can exert raw physical force.
Strength Checks
A Strength check can model any attempt to lift, push, pull, or break something, to force your body through a space, or to otherwise apply brute force to a situation. The Athletics skill
re ects aptitude in certain kinds of Strength checks.
Athletics . Your Strength (Athletics) check covers di cult situations you encounter while climbing, Jumping, or swimming.
Other Strength Checks. The GM might also call for a Strength check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Force open a stuck, locked, or barred door
Break free of bonds
Push through a tunnel that is too small
Hang on to a hover car while being dragged behind it
Tip over a dormant mech
Restraining an elcor
Attack Rolls and Damage

You add your Strength modi er to your attack roll and your damage roll when attacking with a melee weapon such as an omni-hammer, a monomolecular blade, or a krogan
warhammer. Additionally, ranged weapon marked with the Recoil property allow you to overcome the kickback of the weapon with brute force. You may apply your Strength modi er to
your attack roll and damage roll when attacking with Recoil weapons.
Lifting and Carrying change

Your Strength score determines the amount of weight you can bear. The following terms de ne what you can lift or carry. These weights have been adjusted from 5th Edition to work
with kilograms (kg) instead of pounds (lbs).
Carry Capacity. You can carry capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 5. If you are wearing armor, your carry capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 10 (due to the built-in
servos and pneumatics). This score is not affected by weapons or armor (see below).
Push, Drag, Lift. You can push, drag, or lift a weight in kgs up to twice your carrying capacity or 10 (20 w/ armor) times your Strength score. While pushing or dragging weight in
excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 2 meters.
Size & Strength. Larger creatures can bear more weight, whereas Tiny creatures can carry less. For each size category above Medium, double the creature's carrying capacity and the
amount it can push, drag, or lift. For a Tiny creature, halve these weights.
Weapons. You have 4 weapon slots and can equip a single weapon in any slot. Two-handed weapons require 2 weapon slots. Weapons equipped in a slot do not affect your carry
capacity. Any additional weapons you pick up count against your carry capacity.
Armor. The Armor Bonuses and Limitations table has a minimum Strength score for the combination of armor types. You must meet or exceed that score.
Armor Bonuses and Limitations

If you are wearing... Dexterity Bonus Minimum Strength Stealth
...three or more pieces of Heavy armor none 16 disadvantage
...two pieces of Heavy armor none 15 disadvantage
...one piece of Heavy armor none 13 disadvantage
...three or more pieces of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er 13 disadvantage
...two pieces of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er 12 -
...one piece of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er - -
...Light or no armor Add Dexterity modi er to your AC - -

Body Armor is considered three pieces (arms, chest, and legs)
Variant: Encumbrance change

The lifting and carrying rules attempt to keep the simplicity of 5th edition, with the added restrictions of weapon capacity. Here is a variant if you are looking for more detailed rules for
determining how a character is hindered by the weight of equipment. When you use this variant, ignore the minimum Strength column of the Armor table and ignore the weapon slot
limitation.
Your carry weight is equal to two times your Strength score

Each weapon and armor piece has a weight. If your total weight from all weapons and armor is in excess of your carry weight, you are encumbered, which means your speed
drops by 4m.
If your total weight from all weapons and armor is in excess of four times your Strength score, you are instead heavily encumbered, which means your speed drops by 10m and
you have disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.
Dexterity change
Dexterity measures agility, re exes, and balance.
Dexterity Checks
A Dexterity check can model any attempt to move nimbly, quickly, or quietly, or to keep from falling on tricky footing. The Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, Stealth and Vehicle Handling
skills re ect aptitude in certain kinds of Dexterity checks.
Acrobatics . Your Dexterity (Acrobatics) check covers your attempt to stay on your feet in a tricky situation, such as when you're trying to run across a sheet of ice, balance on a
tightrope, or stay upright on a rocking spaceship's deck. The GM might also call for a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to see if you can perform acrobatic stunts, including dives, rolls,
somersaults, and ips.
Sleight of Hand . Whenever you attempt an act of legerdemain or manual trickery, such as planting something on someone else or concealing an object on your person, make a
Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. The GM might also call for a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to determine whether you can lift a coin purse off another person or slip
something out of another person's pocket.
Stealth . Make a Dexterity (Stealth) check when you attempt to conceal yourself from enemies, slink past guards, slip away without being noticed, or sneak up on someone
without being seen or heard.
Vehicle Handling new . If you're driving a vehicle you're familiar with, the GM might ask you to make a Dexterity (Vehicle) check to make a di cult maneuver or avoid heavy
weapon re, crash land, or weave between tra c. However, if you are unfamiliar with a vehicle, the GM would require a Wisdom (Vehicle Handling) check to see if you can pilot the
vehicle at all.
Other Dexterity Checks. The GM might call for a Dexterity check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Disable a tripwire mine
Securely tie up a prisoner
Wriggle free of bonds
Play a stringed instrument
Craft a small or detailed object
Attack Rolls and Damage

You add your Dexterity modi er to your attack roll and your damage roll when attacking with a ranged weapon, such as an assault ri e or a sub-machine gun (SMG). You can also add
your Dexterity modi er to your attack roll and your damage roll when attacking with a melee weapon that has the nesse property, such as an omni-blade or a monomolecular blade.
Armor Class
Depending on the armor you wear, you might add some or all of your Dexterity modi er to your Armor Class.
Initiative
At the beginning of every combat, you roll initiative by making a Dexterity check. Initiative determines the order of creatures' turns in combat.
Hiding
The DM decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding. When you try to hide, make a Dexterity (Stealth) check. Until you are discovered or you stop hiding, that check's total
is contested by the Wisdom (Perception) check of any creature that actively searches for signs of your presence.
You can't hide from a creature that can see you clearly, and you give away your position if you make noise, such as shouting a warning or bumping into a crate. An invisible creature
can always try to hide. Signs of its passage might still be noticed, and it does have to stay quiet.
In combat, most creatures stay alert for signs of danger all around, so if you come out of hiding and approach a creature, it usually sees you. However, under certain circumstances,
the GM might allow you to stay hidden as you approach a creature that is distracted, allowing you to gain advantage on an attack roll before you are seen.
Passive Perception. When you hide, there's a chance someone will notice you even if they aren't searching. To determine whether such a creature notices you, the GM compares your
Dexterity (Stealth) check with that creature's passive Wisdom (Perception) score, which equals 10 + the creature's Wisdom modi er, as well as any other bonuses or penalties. If the
creature has advantage, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5. For example, if a 1st-level character (with a pro ciency bonus of +2) has a Wisdom of 15 (a +2 modi er) and pro ciency
in Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Perception) of 14.
What Can You See? One of the main factors in determining whether you can nd a hidden creature or object is how well you can see in an area, which might be lightly or heavily
obscured.
Constitution
Constitution measures health, stamina, and vital force.
Constitution Checks
Constitution checks are uncommon, and no skills apply to Constitution checks, because the endurance this ability represents is largely passive rather than involving a speci c effort
on the part of a character or monster. A Constitution check can model your attempt to push beyond normal limits, however.
The GM might call for a Constitution check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Hold your breath

March or labor for hours without rest
Go without sleep
Survive without food or water
Quaff an entire pint of Batarian Shard Wine in one gulp
Resist the effect of poison
Hit Points
Your Constitution modi er contributes to your hit points. Typically, you add your Constitution modi er to each Hit Die you roll for your hit points.
If your Constitution modi er changes, your hit point maximum changes as well, as though you had the new modi er from 1st level. For example, if you raise your Constitution score
when you reach 4th level and your Constitution modi er increases from +1 to +2, you adjust your hit point maximum as though the modi er had always been +2. So you add 3 hit
points for your rst three levels, and then roll your hit points for 4th level using your new modi er. Or if you're 7th level and some effect lowers your Constitution score so as to reduce
your Constitution modi er by 1, your hit point maximum is reduced by 7.
Intelligence change
Intelligence measures mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason.
Intelligence Checks
An Intelligence check comes into play when you need to draw on logic, education, memory, or deductive reasoning. The Electronics, Engineering, History, Investigation, and Science
skills re ect aptitude in certain kinds of Intelligence checks.
Electronics new . Your Intelligence (Electronics) check covers attempts to hack or interface with computer systems, such as when you're trying to open locked doors and
containers, turn off cameras, override controls, etc.
Engineering new . Your Intelligence (Engineering) check covers your knowledge of machines and mechanical devices. It most cases it determines your ability to repair
devices. But you might also use it to spot weaknesses in mechanical defense systems, spot potential vehicle failures before they happen, or nd expensive parts in space
salvage.
History . Your Intelligence (History) check measures your ability to recall lore about historical events, legendary people, ancient or alien races and their cultures or customs, past
disputes, recent wars, and lost civilizations.
Investigation . When you look around for clues and make deductions based on those clues, you make an Intelligence (Investigation) check. You might deduce the location of a
hidden object, discern from the appearance of a wound what kind of weapon dealt it, or determine the weakest point in a tunnel that could cause it to collapse. Poring through
ancient scrolls in Search of a hidden fragment of knowledge might also call for an Intelligence (Investigation) check.
Science new . Your Intelligence (Science) check measures your ability to make useful connections and correlations based on the wealth of knowledge that can be found on
the exonet. In a sense, it measures your 'scienti c mindset'. A GM might ask for a check when encountering unknown ora or fauna, assessing the geology of an alien world, or
analyzing natural or unnatural phenomena.
Other Intelligence Checks. The GM might call for an Intelligence check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Estimate the value of a piece of tech
Create a false ID badge
Forge an electronic document
Recall lore about an ancient civilization
Win a game of skill
Spellcasting Ability
Engineers, in ltrators, and sentinels use Intelligence as their spellcasting ability, which helps determine the saving throw DCs of spells they cast.
Wisdom
Wisdom re ects how attuned you are to the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition.
Wisdom Checks
A Wisdom check might re ect an effort to read body language, understand someone’s feelings, notice things about the environment, or care for an injured person. The Insight,
Medicine, Perception, and Survival skills re ect aptitude in certain kinds of Wisdom checks.
Insight . Your Wisdom (Insight) check decides whether you can determine the true intentions of a creature, such as when searching out a lie or predicting someone's next move.
Doing so involves gleaning clues from body Language, Speech habits, and changes in mannerisms.
Medicine . A Wisdom (Medicine) check lets you try to stabilize a dying companion, diagnose an illness, or understand the biology of an organism.
Perception . Your Wisdom (Perception) check lets you spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of something. It measures your general awareness of your surroundings and
the keenness of your senses. For example, you might try to hear a conversation through a closed door, eavesdrop under an open window, or hear Monsters moving stealthily in
the forest. Or you might try to spot things that are obscured or easy to miss, whether they are orcs lying in ambush on a road, thugs hiding in the shadows of an alley, or
candlelight under a closed secret door.
Survival . The GM might ask you to make a Wisdom (Survival) check to survive in uncivilized alien words, especially harsh environments like tundra, deserts, or jungles. The check
might help you navigate a blizzard, nd food in a wasteland, or avoid getting eaten by a Thresher Maw.
Other Wisdom Checks. The GM might call for a Wisdom check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Get a gut feeling about what course of action to follow
Discern whether a seemingly life-like android is organic or synthetic
Adepts, vanguards, and sentinels use Wisdom as their spellcasting ability, which helps determine the saving throw DCs of spells they cast.
Charisma
Charisma measures your ability to interact effectively with others. It includes such factors as con dence and eloquence, and it can represent a charming or commanding personality.
Wisdom Checks
A Charisma check might arise when you try to in uence or entertain others, when you try to make an impression or tell a convincing lie, or when you are navigating a tricky social
situation. The Deception, Intimidation, Performance, and Persuasion skills re ect aptitude in certain kinds of Charisma checks.
Deception . Your Charisma (Deception) check determines whether you can convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your actions. This deception can encompass
everything from misleading others through ambiguity to telling outright lies. Typical situations include trying to fast-talk a guard, con a merchant, earn money through gambling,
pass yourself off in a disguise, dull someone's suspicions with false assurances, or maintain a straight face while telling a blatant lie.
Intimidation . When you attempt to in uence someone through overt threats, hostile actions, and physical violence, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma (Intimidation)
check. Examples include trying to pry information out of a prisoner, convincing street thugs to back down from a confrontation, or using the edge of a broken bottle to convince a
sneering vizier to reconsider a decision.
Performance . Your Charisma (Performance) check determines how well you can delight an audience with music, dance, acting, storytelling, or some other form of entertainment.
Persuasion . When you attempt to in uence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma (Persuasion) check.
Typically, you use persuasion when acting in good faith, to foster friendships, make cordial requests, or exhibit proper etiquette. Examples of persuading others include
convincing a chamberlain to let your party see the king, negotiating peace between warring tribes, or inspiring a crowd of townsfolk.
Other Charisma Checks. The GM might call for a Charisma check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
Find the best person to talk to for news, rumors, and gossip
Blend into a crowd to get a sense of key topics of conversation
Asari and some other subraces use Wisdom as their spellcasting ability, which helps determine the saving throw DCs of spells they cast.
Saving Throws
A saving throw - also called a save - represents an attempt to resist a spell, a trap, a poison, a disease, or a similar threat. You don’t normally decide to make a saving throw; you are
forced to make one because your character or monster is at risk of harm.
To make a saving throw, roll a d20 and add the appropriate ability modi er. For example, you use your Dexterity modi er for a Dexterity saving throw.
A saving throw can be modi ed by a situational bonus or penalty and can be affected by advantage and disadvantage, as determined by the GM.
Each class gives pro ciency in at least two saving throws. The engineer, for example, is pro cient in Intelligence saves. As with skill pro ciencies, pro ciency in a saving throw lets a
character add his or her pro ciency bonus to saving throws made using a particular ability score. Some monsters have saving throw pro ciencies as well.
The Di culty Class for a saving throw is determined by the effect that causes it. For example, the DC for a saving throw allowed by a spell is determined by the caster’s spellcasting
ability and pro ciency bonus.
The result of a successful or failed saving throw is also detailed in the effect that allows the save. Usually, a successful save means that a creature suffers no harm, or reduced harm,
from an effect.
Missions
Overview
This section covers the basics of the operative's live, from the mechanics of movement to the complexities of social interaction. The rules for resting are also in this section, along
with a discussion of the activities your character might pursue between missions.
Whether operatives are exploring an ancient alien ruin or the busy streets of the Citadel, the game follows a natural rhythm, as outlined in the introduction:
1. The GM describes the environment.

2. The players describe what they want to do.
3. The GM narrates the results of their actions.
Typically, the GM uses a map as an outline of the mission, tracking the characters’ progress as they explore docking bays or jungle planets. The GM’s notes, including a key to the map,
describe what the operatives nd as they enter each new area. Sometimes, the passage of time and the operatives’ actions determine what happens, so the GM might use a timeline
or a owchart to track their progress instead of a map.
Time
In situations where keeping track of the passage of time is important, the GM determines the time a task requires. The GM might use a different time scale depending on the context
of the situation at hand. In a space station environment, the operatives' movement happens on a scale of minutes. It takes them about a minute to creep down a long hallway, another
minute to check for traps on the door at the end of the hall, and a good ten minutes to search the room beyond for anything interesting or valuable.
In a city or wilderness, a scale of hours is often more appropriate. Operatives eager to reach the lonely base camp at the foot of a mountain hurry across those 30 kilometers in just
under four hours' time (or less if they're using a vehicle).
For long journeys, a scale of days works best. Making mass relay jumps from Sol to the outer skirts of the Terminus Systems, the operatives spend four uneventful days before a
batarian ambush interrupts their journey.
In combat and other fast-paced situations, the game relies on rounds, a 6-second span of time.
Movement change
Spacewalking along the surface of an asteroid, sneaking down a space station corridor, scaling a treacherous mountain slope - all sorts of movement play a key role in fantasy
gaming adventures.
The GM can summarize the operatives' movement without calculating exact distances or travel times: "You travel through the dusty desert of Turchanka and nd a small outpost late
in the evening of the third day." Even in a space station, particularly a large station or an asteroid colony, the GM can summarize movement between encounters: "After subduing the
guards at the entrance to the underground research facility, you consult your omni-tool, which leads you through miles of echoing corridors to a large arena with caged varren."
Sometimes it's important, though, to know how long it takes to get from one spot to another, whether the answer is in days, hours, or minutes. The rules for determining travel time
depend on two factors: the speed and travel pace of the creatures moving and the terrain they're moving over.
Speed change
Every character and monster has a speed, which is the distance in meters that the character or monster can walk in 1 round. This number assumes short bursts of energetic
movement in the midst of a life-threatening situation. The following rules determine how far a character or monster can move in a minute, an hour, or a day.
Mass Effect 5e uses meters instead of feet.
5ft = 2m
On a playmat: 2m = 1 square
Travel Pace
While traveling, a group of operatives can move at a normal, fast, or slow pace, as shown on the Travel Pace table. The table states how far the party can move in a period of time and
whether the pace has any effect. A fast pace makes characters less perceptive, while a slow pace makes it possible to sneak around and to search an area more carefully.
Forced March
The Travel Pace table assumes that characters travel for 8 hours in a day. They can push on beyond that limit, at the risk of exhaustion.
For each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, the characters cover the distance shown in the Hour column for their pace, and each character must make a Constitution saving
throw at the end of the hour. The DC is 10 + 1 for each hour past 8 hours. On a failed saving throw, a character suffers one level of exhaustion.
Mounts and Vehicles

For short spans of time (up to an hour), many animals move much faster than humanoids. A mounted character can ride at a gallop for about an hour, covering twice the usual
distance for a fast pace. If fresh mounts are available every 12 to 15 kilometers (8-10 miles), characters can cover larger distances at this pace, but this is very rare except in densely
populated areas.
Characters in transports choose a pace as normal. The range statistic on transports indicates how far the transport can travel in a 24 hour period for a normal pace. If you're moving
at a fast pace, you can double the range and half it for a slow pace. Transports do not suffer exhaustion as a living mount would, but characters still need to pilot the vehicle. In
general, characters can only pilot vehicle for 16 hours at a time before needing to rest.
More details about traveling in transports and starships are provided in the vehicles section.
Travel Pace table

Pace per Minute per Hour per Day Effect
fast 120m (~400 ft) 7km (~4 miles) 50km (~30 miles) -5 penalty to passive Wisdom (Perception) scores
medium 90m (~300 ft) 5km (~3 miles) 40km (~24 miles) -
slow 60m (~200 ft) 3km (~2 miles) 30km (~18 miles) Able to use stealth
Di cult Terrain
The travel speeds given in the Travel Pace table assume relatively simple terrain: roads, open plains, or clear corridors. But operatives can face dense forests, deep swamps, rubble-
lled craters, steep mountains, and ice-covered ground - all considered di cult terrain.
You move at half speed in di cult terrain - moving 1 meter in di cult terrain costs 2 meters of speed - so you can cover only half the normal distance in a minute, an hour, or a day.
Special Types of Movement

Movement through underground tunnels, skyscrapers, or wilderness areas often involves more than simply walking. Operatives might have to climb, crawl, swim, or jump to get where
they need to go.
Climbing, Swimming, and Crawling

While climbing or swimming, each meter of movement costs 1 extra meter (2 extra meters in di cult terrain), unless a creature has a climbing or swimming speed. At the GM’s option,
climbing a slippery vertical surface or one with few handholds requires a successful Strength (Athletics) check. Similarly, gaining any distance in rough water might require a
successful Strength (Athletics) check.
Jumping change
Your Strength determines how far you can jump.
Long Jump. When you make a long jump, you cover a number of meters up to your Strength score divided by three (rounded up) if you move at least 4 meters on foot immediately
before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each meter you clear on the jump costs a meter of movement.
This rule assumes that the height of your jump doesn't matter, such as a jump across a stream or chasm. At your GM's option, you must succeed on a DC 10 Strength (Athletics)
check to clear a low obstacle (no taller than a quarter of the jump's distance), such as a hedge or low wall. Otherwise, you hit it.
When you land in di cult terrain, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to land on your feet. Otherwise, you land prone.
High Jump. When you make a high jump, you leap into the air a number of meters equal to 1 + your Strength modi er divided by three (rounded up) if you move at least 4m on foot
immediately before the jump. When you make a standing high jump, you can jump only half that distance. Either way, each meter you clear on the jump costs a meter of movement. In
some circumstances, your GM might allow you to make a Strength (Athletics) check to jump higher than you normally can.
You can extend your arms half your height above yourself during the jump. Thus, you can reach above you a distance equal to the height of the jump plus 1 1/2 times your height.
+/- Gravity new

Operatives may nd themselves in an environment with little, no, or increased gravity. For any increase (or decrease) that is twice as more (or less) than your operatives normal
working gravity, use the di cult terrain rules. I.e., if your operative normally works in a 1g environment, and enters a .5g or 2g environment, they are considered to be in di cult terrain.
If you're in a low gravity environment, your long and high jump distances are doubled. Jump distances are halved in higher gravity.
When in a 0g environment, your speed becomes 0, unless you have a means of propelling yourself. Additional rules, such as disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws or melee attacks,
are decided by the GM based on the context of your environment.
The Environment change
Going on missions can involve delving into places that are dark, dangerous, and full of environmental hazards. The rules in this section cover some of the most important ways in
which adventurers interact with the environment in such places.
Falling
A fall from a great height is a common hazard, especially since many urban environments reach the skies. At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 4
meters (~10 ft) it fell, to a maximum of 20d6. The creature lands prone unless it avoids taking damage from the fall.
Suffocating
A creature can hold its breath for a number of minutes equal to 1 + its Constitution modi er (minimum of 30 seconds).
When a creature runs out of breath or is choking, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modi er (minimum of 1 round). At the start of its next turn, it drops to 0
hit points and is dying, and it can't regain hit points or be stabilized until it can breathe again.
For example, a creature with a Constitution of 14 can hold its breath for 3 minutes. If it starts suffocating, it has 2 rounds to reach air before it drops to 0 hit points.
Space new
The vacuum of space will kill any organic (and most synthorganic creatures) in a matter of minutes unless that creature has some speci c resilience to surviving in a vacuum. A
creature in the vacuum of space without an appropriate environmental suit will remain conscious for a number of rounds equal to 1 + its Constitution modi er (minimum 1). After that
time passes, the creature immediate becomes incapacitated and it can survive in space a number of minutes equal to 1 + its Constitution modi er (minimum 1) after which it dies.
Vision and Light

The most fundamental tasks of adventuring - noticing danger, nding hidden objects, hitting an enemy in combat, and targeting a biotic power, to name just a few - rely heavily on a
character's ability to see. Darkness and other effects that obscure vision can prove a signi cant hindrance.
A given area might be lightly or heavily obscured. In a lightly obscured area, such as dim light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage, creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks that rely on sight.
A heavily obscured area - such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage - blocks vision entirely. A creature effectively suffers from the blinded condition when trying to see
something in that area.
The presence or absence of light in an environment creates three categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and darkness.
Bright light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do ashlights, res, and other sources of illumination within a speci c radius.
Dim light, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a ashlight, and surrounding
darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon (or moons) might bathe the surface of a planet in dim light.
Darkness creates a heavily obscured area. Characters face darkness outdoors at night, within the con nes of a derelict starship, or a subterranean ruin.
Blindsight
A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a speci c radius. Creatures without eyes, such as thresher maws, and creatures with
echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and yaghs, have this sense.
Darkvision
Some creatures have darkvision and some gear can provide darkvision. Within a speci ed range, a creature with darkvision can see in darkness as if the darkness were dim light, so
areas of darkness are only lightly obscured as far as that creature is concerned. However, the creature can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Truesight change
A creature with truesight can, out to a speci c range, see in normal darkness, see invisible creatures and objects that are hidden by technological means (such as tactical cloak).
Infrared vision new

A creature with infrared vision, out to a speci c range, can see in darkness, is unaffected by lightly or heavily obscured areas, and see invisible and hidden creatures and objects that
give off heat.
However, the creature cannot see beyond intense heat sources and is effectively blind when looking at an intense heat source.
Food and Water

Characters who don't eat or drink suffer the effects of exhaustion. Exhaustion caused by lack of food or water can't be removed until the character eats and drinks the full required
amount.
Food
A character needs about 500 grams (~ 1lb) of food per day and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating 250 grams of food in a day counts as half a day without
food.
A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modi er (minimum 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically
suffers one level of exhaustion. A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.
Water
A character needs 2 liters (~ 1/2 gallon) of water per day, or 4 liters per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15
Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. A character with access to even less water automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of
the day.
If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the character takes two levels in either case.
Interacting with Objects

A character's interaction with objects in an environment is often simple to resolve in the game. The player tells the GM that his or her character is doing something, such as interacting
with a terminal, and the GM describes what, if anything, happens.
For example, a character might decide to interact with a terminal, which might, in turn, open a door, raise an alarm, or give the character access to a map of the building. If the terminal
is protected via security, though, a character might need to hack it. In such a situation, the GM might call for an Intelligence (Electronics) check to see whether the character can
bypass the security. The GM sets the DC for any such check based on the di culty of the task.
Characters can also damage objects with their weapons, biotics, and tech. Objects are immune to poison and psychic damage, but otherwise, they can be affected by physical attacks
much as creatures can. The GM determines an object's Armor Class and hit points, and might decide that certain objects have resistance or immunity to certain kinds of attacks. (It's
hard to cut a cable with a hammer, for example.) Objects always fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and they are immune to effects that require other saves. When an object
drops to 0 hit points, it breaks.
A character can also attempt a Strength check to break an object. The GM sets the DC for any such check.
Social Interaction
Exploring planets, overcoming obstacles, and surviving death squads are key parts of Mass Effect missions. No less important, though, are the social interactions that operatives have
with other inhabitants of the galaxy.
Interaction takes on many forms. You might need to convince an unscrupulous spy to confess to some malfeasance, or you might try to atter a shop owner so they will give you a
discount. The GM assumes the roles of any characters who are participating in the interaction that don’t belong to another player at the table. Any such character is called a nonplayer
character (NPC).
In general terms, an NPC’s attitude toward you is described as friendly, indifferent, or hostile. Friendly NPCs are predisposed to help you, and hostile ones are inclined to get in your
way. It’s easier to get what you want from a friendly NPC, of course.
Social interactions have two primary aspects: roleplaying and ability checks.
Roleplaying
Roleplaying is, literally, the act of playing out a role. In this case, it’s you as a player determining how your character thinks, acts, and talks.
Roleplaying is a part of every aspect of the game, and it comes to the fore during social interactions. Your character’s quirks, mannerisms, and personality in uence how interactions
resolve.
There are two styles you can use when roleplaying your character: the descriptive approach and the active approach. Most players use a combination of the two styles. Use whichever
mix of the two works best for you.
Descriptive Approach to Roleplaying

With this approach, you describe your character’s words and actions to the GM and the other players. Drawing on your mental image of your character, you tell everyone what your
character does and how he or she does it.
When using descriptive roleplaying, keep the following things in mind:
Describe your character’s emotions and attitude.

Focus on your character’s intent and how others might perceive it.
Provide as much embellishment as you feel comfortable with.
Don’t worry about getting things exactly right. Just focus on thinking about what your character would do and describing what you see in your mind.
Active Approach to Roleplaying

If descriptive roleplaying tells your GM and your fellow players what your character thinks and does, active roleplaying shows them.
When you use active roleplaying, you speak with your character’s voice, like an actor taking on a role. You might even echo your character’s movements and body language. This
approach is more immersive than descriptive roleplaying, though you still need to describe things that can’t be reasonably acted out.
Results of Roleplaying
The GM uses your character’s actions and attitudes to determine how an NPC reacts. A cowardly NPC buckles under threats of violence. A stubborn turian refuses to let anyone
badger her. A vain asari laps up attery.
When interacting with an NPC, pay close attention to the GM’s portrayal of the NPC’s mood, dialogue, and personality. You might be able to determine an NPC’s personality traits,
ideals, aws, and bonds, then play on them to in uence the NPC’s attitude.
Interactions in Mass Effect 5e are much like interactions in real life. If you can offer NPCs something they want, threaten them with something they fear, or play on their sympathies
and goals, you can use words to get almost anything you want. On the other hand, if you insult a proud warrior or speak ill of a politician’s allies, your efforts to convince or deceive will
fall short.
Ability Checks
In addition to roleplaying, ability checks are key in determining the outcome of an interaction.
Your roleplaying efforts can alter an NPC’s attitude, but there might still be an element of chance in the situation. For example, your GM can call for a Charisma check at any point
during an interaction if he or she wants the dice to play a role in determining an NPC’s reactions. Other checks might be appropriate in certain situations, at your GM’s discretion.
Pay attention to your skill pro ciencies when thinking of how you want to interact with an NPC, and stack the deck in your favor by using an approach that relies on your best bonuses
and skills. If the group needs to trick a security guard into letting them into a classi ed area, the in ltrator who is pro cient in Deception is the best bet to lead the discussion. When
negotiating for a hostage’s release, the sentinel with Persuasion should do most of the talking.
Resting
Heroic though they might be, operatives can't spend every hour of the day in the thick of exploration, social interaction, and combat. They need rest - time to sleep and eat, tend their
wounds, clean their weapons, practice biotic spells, and con gure omni-tools.
Operatives can take short rests in the midst of mission day and a long rest to end the day.
Short Rest
A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.
A character can spend one or more Hit Dice at the end of a short rest, up to the character's maximum number of Hit Dice, which is equal to the character's level. For each Hit Die spent
in this way, the player rolls the die and adds the character's Constitution modi er to it. The character regains hit points equal to the total. The player can decide to spend an additional
Hit Die after each roll. A character regains some spent Hit Dice upon nishing a long rest, as explained below.
Long Rest
A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps or performs light activity: reading, talking, eating, or standing watch for no more
than 2 hours. If the rest is interrupted by a period of strenuous activity - at least 1 hour of walking, ghting, casting biotics, or similar activity - the characters must begin the rest again
to gain any bene t from it.
At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character's total number of them
(minimum of one die). For example, if a character has eight Hit Dice, he or she can regain four spent Hit Dice upon nishing a long rest.
A character can't bene t from more than one long rest in a 24-hour period, and a character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the rest to gain its bene ts.
Between Missions
Between trips to remote planets and battles against reaper forces, operatives need time to rest, recuperate, and prepare for their next mission. Many operatives also use this time to
perform other tasks, such as crafting or modding arms and armor, performing research, or spending their hard-earned credits.
In some cases, the passage of time is something that occurs with little fanfare or description. When starting a new mission, the GM might simply declare that a certain amount of
time has passed and allow you to describe in general terms what your character has been doing. At other times, the GM might want to keep track of just how much time is passing as
events beyond your perception stay in motion.
Lifestyle Expenses
Between missions, you choose a particular quality of life and pay the cost of maintaining that lifestyle.
Living a particular lifestyle doesn't have a huge effect on your character, but your lifestyle can affect the way other individuals and groups react to you. For example, when you lead an
aristocratic lifestyle, it might be easier for you to in uence the o cials of the city than if you live in poverty.
Lifestyle Expenses
Lifestyle Credits/Day
Wretched -
Squalid 25 credits
Poor 75 credits
Modest 150 credits
Comfortable 250 credits
Wealthy 500 credits
Aristocratic 1,000 credits minimum
Downtime Activities
Between missions, the GM might ask you what your character is doing during his or her downtime. Periods of downtime can vary in duration, but each downtime activity requires a
certain number of days to complete before you gain any bene t, and at least 8 hours of each day must be spent on the downtime activity for the day to count. The days do not need to
be consecutive. If you have more than the minimum amount of days to spend, you can keep doing the same thing for a longer period of time, or switch to a new downtime activity.
Downtime activities other than the ones presented below are possible. If you want your character to spend his or her downtime performing an activity not covered here, discuss it with
your GM.
Crafting
You can craft weapons, mods, armor, other equipment and works of art. You must be pro cient with tools related to the object you are trying to create (typically artisan's tools). You
might also need access to special materials or locations necessary to create it. For example, someone pro cient with armorsmith's tools needs a source of power and intense heat in
order to craft armor or install mods.
For every day of downtime you spend crafting, you can craft one or more items with a total market value not exceeding 500 credits, and you must expend raw materials or omni-gel
worth half the total market value. If something you want to craft has a market value greater than 500 credits, you make progress every day in 500-credit increments until you reach the
market value of the item. For example, Blood Dragon Armor (market value 101,300 credits) takes 203 days to craft by yourself.
Multiple characters can combine their efforts toward the crafting of a single item, provided that the characters all have pro ciency with the requisite tools and are working together in
the same place. Each character contributes 1000 credits worth of effort for every day spent helping to craft the item. For example, three characters with the requisite tool pro ciency
and the proper facilities can craft the Blood Dragon Armor in 68 days, at a total cost of 50,650 credits.
While crafting, you can maintain a modest lifestyle without having to pay 150 credits per day, or a comfortable lifestyle at half the normal cost.
Practicing a Profession
You can work between missions, allowing you to maintain a modest lifestyle without having to pay 150 credits per day. This bene t lasts as long you continue to practice your
profession. If you are a member of an organization that can provide gainful employment you earn enough to support a comfortable lifestyle instead.
If you have pro ciency in the Performance skill and put your performance skill to use during your downtime, you earn enough to support a wealthy lifestyle instead.
Recuperating
You can use downtime between missions to recover from a debilitating injury, disease, or poison.
After three days of downtime spent recuperating, you can make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, you can choose one of the following results:
End one effect on you that prevents you from regaining hit points.
For the next 24 hours, gain advantage on saving throws against one disease or poison currently affecting you.
Researching
The time between missions is a great chance to perform research, gaining insight into mysteries that have unfurled over the course of the campaign. Research can include poring over
the exonet, buying drinks for the locals to pry rumors and gossip from their lips, or paying for information from certain factions like the Shadow Broker Network.
When you begin your research, the GM determines whether the information is available, how many days of downtime it will take to nd it, and whether there are any restrictions on
your research (such as needing to seek out a speci c individual, le, or location). The GM might also require you to make one or more ability checks, such as an Intelligence
(Investigation) check to nd clues pointing toward the information you seek, or a Charisma (Persuasion) check to secure someone's aid, or an Intelligence (Electronics) check to hack
into a database. Once those conditions are met, you learn the information if it is available.
For each day of research, you must spend 100 credits to cover your expenses. This cost is in addition to your normal lifestyle expenses.
Training
You can spend time between missions training with a set of tools. Your GM might allow additional training options.
First, you must nd an instructor willing to teach you. The GM determines how long it takes, and whether one or more ability checks are required.
The training lasts for 250 days and costs 100 credits per day. After you spend the requisite amount of time and money, you gain pro ciency with the new tool.
Equipment
Starting Equipment
When you create your character, you receive equipment based on a combination of your class and background. Alternatively, you can start with a number of credits based on your race
and spend them on items from the lists in this section. See the Choose Equipment section of Step-by-step Characters for more information on using racial starting credits.
You decide how your character came by this starting equipment. It might have been an inheritance or goods that the character purchased during his or her upbringing. You might have
been equipped with a weapon, armor, and a backpack as part of military service. You might even have stolen your gear. A weapon could be a family heirloom, passed down from
generation to generation until your character nally took up the mantle and followed in an ancestor’s adventurous footsteps.
Armor change
To survive in the galaxy, your character needs to wear armor. Not only does armor abate damage from extremely powerful, futuristic weapons but armor also supplies shield points,
also called shields (outlined below). Luckily, almost all garments in the mass effect world provide some form of protection. Diaphanous night-gowns can even provide a modicum of
protection. Thus, in Mass Effect 5e, almost all operatives are wearing armor and are afforded shield points, unless the player or GM explicitly states your character is not wearing
armor.
Armor Pro ciency. Just like 5th edition, anyone can put on armor. However, only those pro cient in the armor type know how to wear it effectively. Your class gives you pro ciency
with certain types of armor (light, medium, or heavy). If you are wearing 2 or more pieces of armor that you lack pro ciency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving
throw, or Attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity. If you are wearing 4 pieces of armor you lack pro ciency with, you cannot cast spells.
Armor Class (AC). Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor you wear determines your base Armor Class.
Shield Points. new All armor chest pieces provide some amount of shield points. See the Shields of the combat section for more information.
Mix & Match new

Unlike D&D 5th edition, armor in Mass Effect 5e can be mixed between armor placements on the body. There are 4 armor placements: Head, Chest, Arms, and Legs.
Your base AC is 10 and each piece of armor provides an AC bonus depending on its type and placement as listed in the Armor / AC table. Additionally, there are bonuses and
limitations for the combination of armor types you are wearing, explained in the Armor Bonuses and Limitations table.
Heavier Armor. Heavier armor interferes with the wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor Bonuses and Limitations table shows “Str 12” or “Str 16” in the
Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 4m unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.
For simplicity's sake, you cannot mix armor within placements. I.e., you cannot have a heavy piece of on your right arm and a light piece of armor on your left.
Armor / AC
Placement / Type Light Medium Heavy
Chest +1 +2 +3
Arms +0 +1 +2
Legs +0 +1 +2
Head Unless otherwise listed, headware provides no bonus
Armor Bonuses and Limitations

If you are wearing... Dexterity Bonus Minimum Strength Stealth
...three or more pieces of Heavy armor none 16 disadvantage
...two pieces of Heavy armor none 15 disadvantage
...one piece of Heavy armor none 13 disadvantage
...three or more pieces of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er 13 disadvantage
...two pieces of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er 12 -
...one piece of Medium armor Max +2 bonus from Dexterity modi er - -
...Light or no armor Add Dexterity modi er to your AC - -

Body Armor is considered three pieces (arms, chest, and legs)
Variant: Encumbrance
If you are using the Variant: Encumbrance rules, use the Armor Piece Weights table to determine the total weight of the armor you're wearing.
Armor Piece Weights

Placement / Type Light Medium Heavy
Chest 3 6 10
Arms 1 2 3
Legs 1 2 3
Head 2
Armor Sets new

Most armor you buy in the galaxy has been mass-produced, these are called armor sets. A set is not required to be multiple pieces of armor. For example, the Capacitor Helmet is a
single piece of head armor. The unique aspect of armor sets is that they have bene ts and attributes that are pre-installed due to their mass-production. Thus, you cannot customize
armor sets with armor mods and you cannot salvage a bene cial aspect from an armor set.
Armor sets have an armor type (light, medium, or heavy) which you use for calculating your character's AC.
Body Armor is a special type of armor piece that consists of 3 pieces of armor: Chest, Arms, and Legs. Body armor is completely integrated (all or none), therefore, you cannot swap
out pieces from other sets. I.e., if you're wearing the Duelist body armor, you cannot replace the legs from it with the Lockdown Greaves. This rule is, of course, exible, as GMs might
allow this type of tinkering in exchange for time, credits, and/or skill checks.
Set Bonuses are additional bene ts you receive from wearing multiple pieces from the same set, signifying the armors component pieces working together for a uni ed integration.
Armor with the same base name is part of a set, e.g. Colossus [item].
You only receive the bene t once per set and the bene t is end immediately if you fall below the threshold. For example, a set provides +1 AC for wearing 2 of 4 pieces and +1 AC for
wearing 4 of 4 pieces. If you are wearing the head and chest pieces, you gain +1 AC (in addition to any bene ts provided from the set pieces you are wearing). Note: You do not gain
+1 AC for the head and +1 AC for the chest. As soon as you remove either the head piece or the chest piece, you loose the +1 AC.
Environmental Protection new

All armor provides basic environmental protection from the vacuum of space or hazardous atmospheres. Armor supplies enough air and heat to the wearer for 8 hours of activity or
16 hours if the operative remains motionless. Your GM may require that your character wear a helmet to gain this bene t, or they may use the bubble rule and claim that all armor
suits can cast an energy "bubble" around your characters head to keep air in and the environment out.
Getting Into and Out of Armor

The time it takes to don or doff armor depends on the armor's category.
Don. This is the time it takes to put on armor. You bene t from the armor's AC only if you take the full time to don the suit of armor.
Doff. This is the time it takes to take off armor. If you have help, reduce this time by half.
Category Don Doff

Light Armor 1 minute 1 minute
Medium Armor 5 minutes 1 minute
Heavy Armor 10 minutes 5 minutes
Custom Armor new
For characters that want to create unique armor pieces, they can craft or purchase upgradable armor pieces. To craft armor pieces, your character needs to be pro cient with
Armorsmith's or Tailor's tools. Then they must spend the necessary amount of time and omni-gel as listed in the Customizable Armor Costs table. Note: it takes much less time and
resources to craft these basic armor pieces than it does to craft armor sets due to the simplicity of the armor your character is creating.
Characters may instead purchase customizable armor for the cost listed in the Customizable Armor Costs table.
Once you have crafted or purchased your armor piece, it is time to add bene ts to the armor using armor mods. Each piece of customizable armor has a set number of mod slots and
you can add additional slots (up to the maximum) for more time and omni-gel (if crafting) or credits (if purchasing). You must select a mod with a matching armor piece, i.e. chest,
head, legs, or arms.
Customizable Armor Costs

Slot / Type Light Medium Heavy Mod Slots (max) Crafting Cost
Chest 8,000 10,000 12,000 2 (3) 24 hours & 10 omni-gel
Arms 2,000 3,000 4,000 0 (2) 8 hours & 2 omni-gel
Legs 2,000 3,000 4,000 0 (2) 8 hours & 2 omni-gel
Head 5,000 1 (3) 16 hours & 5 omni-gel
Additional Mod Slots: 20,000 credits or 8 hours and 10 omni-gel
ARMOR MODS
EXAMPLE ARMOR CREATION
Imogen wants to create a fancy chest piece for her character Tiiva. She wants to add another mod slot for a maximum of 3 armor mods. Tiiva spends 4 long rests (8
hours in each rest) and 20 omni-gel to create a medium piece of chest armor. Alternatively, she could have spent 30,000 credits to purchase the armor piece. Next
 Imogen spends 30,000 credits on the ablative coating mod. She also looted an asymmetric defense layer mod from a previous mission. She spends 2 more long rests
applying those mods, giving her chest armor resistance to piercing damage and +2 AC. She leaves her third slot empty for the time being, hoping to loot another mod
and t it in later.
Rewarding Custom Armor

Your GM might reward you with a custom piece of armor that you've looted or found during a mission. When you are rewarded with a custom piece of armor, make sure you write
down how many total mod slots the piece has and what armor mods are currently installed.
Weapons change
Your class grants pro ciency in certain weapons, re ecting both the class's focus and the tools you are most likely to use. Whether you favor an assault ri e or a sword, your weapon
and your ability to wield it effectively can mean the difference between life and death while on a mission.
The Weapons List shows the available weapons, their price and weight, the damage they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess. Every weapon is classi ed as
either melee or ranged. A melee weapon is used to attack a target within 2 meters of you, whereas a ranged weapon is used to attack a target at a distance.
Weapon Pro ciency change

You must be pro cient with a weapon type to add your pro ciency modi er to the attack roll. There are 7 distinct weapon types and all weapons fall into one of the following types.
Assault Ri es. The most common weapons of the military. These are generally medium-range weapons that deal average damage with a high heat capacity.
Heavy Pistols. The most common gun type in the Mass Effect universe. Simple but effective.
Sub-machine Guns (SMGs). Single-handed, rapid re weapons that have a short range.
Shotguns. Close-range, high-damage blasts.
Sniper Ri es. Precision instruments meant for long range or stealthy combat.
Melee. Used in close-quarters combat. Damage resulting from melee weapon attacks by-pass shields.
Heavy Weapons. Specialty weapons that deal massive amounts of damage. Heavy Weapons do not have a pro ciency requirement.
Weapon Properties
Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons List.
Weapon Properties
Property Mechanic
Deals lightning damage. On a hit, deals half of the damage dealt to 1 additional creature within 2m of the hit target. If there is more than one creature within
Arc
2m of the initial target, choose the second target randomly.
Burst Can make a normal single-target attack, or it can spray a 4m-cube area within normal range with shots. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15
Fire Dexterity saving throw or take the weapon's normal damage. This action uses 3 heat.
Double When you make a ranged attack with this weapon, you can use your bonus action to make a second ranged attack. You do not add your ability modi er to
Tap the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modi er is negative. The second attack may be on the same or a different target.
When making an attack with a nesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modi er for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the
Finesse
same modi er for both rolls.
The number of times a weapon can be red before it must be reloaded. If the weapon has a heat of 1 and you re it, you must reload the weapon with a
Heat
fresh thermal clip before ring it again. Reloading takes an action.
Requires a minimum Strength score of 15. Creatures with a Strength score lower than 15 have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons as its size
Heavy
and bulk is to cumbersome to use effectively.
Hip Fire When making a ranged attack on a target creature within 2m, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Light A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when ghting with two weapons.
Melee Damage resulting from melee weapon attacks by-pass shields.
A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses. The range lists two numbers. The rst is the weapon's normal range in
Range meters, and the second indicates the weapon's long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't
attack a target beyond the weapon's long range.
Reach This weapon adds 2 meters to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it.
A weapon with the Recoil property generates a lot of kickback when red. You use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modi er for the attack and
Recoil
damage rolls. You must use the same modi er for both rolls.
Silent Makes no noise when used to make an attack roll.
A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use explained in the weapon notes. Additionally, special weapons cannot be improved by
Special
weapon mods.
Two-
This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it. Takes up 2 weapon slots.
handed
If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modi er
Thrown
for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon.
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property--the damage when the weapon is used with two
Versatile
hands to make a melee attack.
Weight The weight in kilograms. Primarily used for the Variant: Encumbrance rule.
Improvised Weapons
Sometimes characters don't have their weapons and have to attack with whatever is at hand. An improvised weapon includes any object you can wield in one or two hands, such as
broken glass, a table leg, a frying pan, a crowbar, or the arm of a geth.
Often, an improvised weapon is similar to an actual weapon and can be treated as such. For example, a table leg is akin to a club (melee weapon). At the GM's option, a character
pro cient with a weapon can use a similar object as if it were that weapon and use his or her pro ciency bonus.
An object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4 damage (the GM assigns a damage type appropriate to the object). If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee
attack or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown property, it also deals 1d4 damage. An improvised thrown weapon has a normal range of 6 meters and a long range of
18 meters. Light improvised thrown weapons have ranges of 10m and 30m, and heavy improvised ranged weapons have ranges of 4m and 12m.
Thermal Clips new

Ranged weapons (guns) use thermal clips to abate heat. All thermal clips are interchangeable between weapons. More information about using thermal clips can be found below.
Heavy Weapons new

Heavy Weapons use Charges to track the number of times they can be red. If you run out of Charges your weapon is nothing more than a hunk of metal.
Targeting
Most Heavy Weapons also use the Targeting condition. Targeting means painting the battle eld or keeping a lock on one or more creatures for a single round of combat. Targeting is
considered a free action, as long as you've already drawn the heavy weapon, i.e., you can choose to pick-up or equip a weapon as your action, then begin targeting as a free action
before your turn ends. If you're already holding the weapon, you might use an ability as your action and then begin targeting.
Carrying, Holstering, and Drawing Weapons new

You can carry 2 weapons into combat unless a feature or armor mod allows you to carry more. If using the Variant: Encumbrance rule, you can carry as many weapons as your carry
capacity will allow.
You can holster one weapon you're wielding or draw one weapon you're carrying as a free action. This is true for all weapon types. However, to holster one weapon then draw a second
weapon would require an action. But the GM might allow a Sleight of Hand check to see if you can holster and draw at the cost of your bonus action.
Mods new
Armor and Weapon mods allow you to upgrade your equipment, providing powerful bonuses. Weapon and armor mods have their own costs. Operatives who are pro cient with
Tinker's tools can craft mods but most can be purchased from your local equipment shop. Once you've acquired your mod, you can install it yourself (if you're pro cient with
Armorsmith's, Tailor's, or Weaponsmith's tools) or you can have an equipment shop install it for you.
Removing Mods
In general, mods cannot be removed. Those pro cient with Armorsmith's, Tailor's, or Weaponsmith's tools may attempt to salvage mods ad the risk of destroying the weapon or armor
and all other installed mods. Equipment shops around the galaxy typically won't offer this service for fear of a lawsuit.
Weapon Mods
Each weapon has 4 mod slots: Magazine, Body, Core, and Barrel. The weapon is only allowed one mod per slot. For example, the M-8 Avenger cannot have the Ultralight Materials and
the Precision Scope, because both of those mods utilize the Body slot. Additionally, some mods are limited by weapon type. For example, the Stunner mod is only available for
placement on Heavy Pistols and SMGs. You cannot add weapon mods to special or melee weapons.
Armor Mods
Installing armor mods requires you to craft or purchase a piece of customizable armor. See the Creating Armor section above. Each piece of customizable armor has a set number of
mod slots. You must select a mod with a matching armor piece, i.e. chest, head, legs, or arms.
ARMOR MODS WEAPON MODS

Medi-gel new
Medi-gel (medical gel) is an all-purpose medicinal salve combining an anaesthetic and clotting agent used by paramedics, EMTs, and military personnel, produced by the Sirta
Foundation. It heals various wounds and ailments, instantly sealing injuries against infection and allowing for rapid healing by having the gel grip tight to esh until subjected to a
frequency of ultrasound. It is sealable against liquids - most notably blood - as well as contaminants and gases.
Using Medi-gel
As an action, use a medi-gel pack on yourself or a willing creature within 2m. The target regains hit points equal to the medi-gel's potency as listed in the Medi-gel Types table.
Armor Capacity: 4
All armor comes standard with a capacity for 4 medi-gel. Some armor and mods allow you to increase this amount.
Resupplying: ~100 credits

As long as you're in a relatively civilized environment, you can easily resupply your medi-gel at a medical facility. However, you would need insider or black-market connections to get
Superior or Ultimate medi-gel. Since Ultimate medi-gel is so rare, the cost is entirely dependent on the people you know, favors your owed, or ability to break into a medical facility.
Medi-gel Types
Type Rarity Cost HP Regained
Standard Common ~200 credits 2d4 + 2
Enhanced Uncommon ~500 credits 4d4 + 4
Superior Rare ~1,500 credits 8d4 + 8
Ultimate Very Rare ? 10d4 + 20
Thermal Clips new
It was discovered that, in an age of kinetic barriers, most re ghts were won by the side who could put the most rounds downrange the fastest. As such, detachable heat sinks, known
as thermal clips, were adopted rst by the geth, and shortly thereafter by organic arms manufacturers. Ammunition may never be a concern with modern arms, but the availability of
thermal clips is; weapons without thermal clips have nowhere to disperse their heat and are incapable of ring. Luckily, thermal clips litter modern battle elds and can be obtained
from fallen enemies or found around the environment.
Using Thermal Clips

When you reload your weapon, you expend a thermal clip.
Armor Capacity: 10
All armor comes standard with 10 thermal clip slots. Some armor and mods allow you to increase this amount.
Resupplying: ~100 credits

Thermal clips are easily looted from almost every enemy wielding a weapon. However, you can also resupply all of your thermal clips at a gun shop or military depot for about 100
credits.
Note: Because thermal clips are so easily attainable, GMs might nd it more manageable to simply not keep track of thermal clips and assume players will always have a steady
supply available to them.
Grenades & Mines new
Grenades and mines provide various types of explosive mechanics to use in the heat of combat.
Using a Grenade or Mine

Using a grenade is the same as using an item, requiring one Action.
Armor Capacity: 2
All armor comes standard with 2 grenade slots. Some armor and mods allow you to increase this amount.
Resupplying: ~500 credits per grenade

Grenades are a military resource, so, depending on your campaign setting they might be an uncommon or rare item. If your character is part of a military out t, you can resupply every
time you return to base (or to your ship). Otherwise, nding grenades may be a bit more di cult, requiring you to barter, steal, or loot them.
A recommended cost is 500-1000 credits per grenade or mine.
Higher Marks
Grenades and Mines can range in power from Mark I to Mark X. Each grenade description describes the effect of higher marks. It is recommended that each higher mark costs at
least 1.5 times more credits than the previous mark:
I: 500
II: 750
III: 1,250
IV: 1,800
V: 2,500
VI: 3,800
VII: 5,700
VIII: 8,500
IX: 13,000
X: 20,000
GRENADES & MINES
Heavy Weapon Charges new

Heavy weapons require charges to be used. A charge is a generic term that can refer to a missile, energy source, or raw material.
Resupplying: ~5,000 credits

If you've got your hands on a heavy weapon, you're either a military specialist or damn lucky you survived the battle. It's not easy resupplying your charges. You'll need to have some
serious military or black market connections. If military, you might get special permission to keep the weapon and granted a steady stream of charges (once per long rest). That's
between you and your Galaxy Master.
Otherwise, you'll have to pay a pretty penny on the black-market to recharge your Heavy Weapon (5,000-7,000 credits for a complete resupply of charges). In most cases, it's easier to
scavenge or steal ammo. Or simply leave the damn thing where you found it.
Omni-gel new
Omni-gel is a technological material that can be obtained by breaking down unwanted items, such as weapons, armor, and upgrades. Doing so will usually give an amount of omni-gel
based on the item that was dismantled.
Omni-gel Yield
Equipment Yield
Armor & Weapon Mods, Tools & Kits 1
Heavy Pistols, SMGs, and Head, Leg, and Arm armor 3
Assault Ri es, Shotguns, Sniper Ri es, and Chest Armor 6
Heavy Weapon 10
Omni-gel is composed of common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys kept in a semi-molten state. It is designed for use with omni-tools to do electronics and
decryption work, make general repairs, and even craft new upgrades. Each "charge" of omni-gel is stored in a canister and is worth 1,000 credits.
Tools & Kits change
A tool helps you to do something you couldn't otherwise do, such as craft or repair an item, forge a document, or hack a security system. Your race, class, background, or feats give
you pro ciency with certain tools. Pro ciency with a tool allows you to add your pro ciency bonus to any ability check you make using that tool. Tool use is not tied to a single ability
since pro ciency with a tool represents broader knowledge of its use.
Tool Pro ciency change

Mass Effect 5e utilizes the Tool Pro ciency rules found in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (pg. 78). In summary, it's unclear when a player should use a tool pro ciency and a skill
pro ciency. The rule of thumb is that tools have speci c applications whereas skills are very broad, but this limits the use of tools.
Thus, to make tool pro ciencies more attractive, Xanathar's Guide to Everything added bene ts to combining tools with skills. The rst is that combining a tool with a skill gives the
player advantage when making the skill check. The second bene t is that tools provide additional non-combat features.
Advantage or Added Bene t. When the character combines their tool pro ciency with a skill, they gain additional insight which means the operative either gains advantage on the skill
check or the can gain an added bene t, decided by the GM.
For example, a character that is pro cient with Hacking Tools gains advantage when combining their tool pro ciency with an Intelligence (Investigation) check when utilizing
networked systems (like the exonet) or they might gain an added bene t, such as nding some additional information or key codes.
Unique Skill. Operatives pro cient in a tool have a unique activity they can perform during a sort or long rest. For example, a character pro cient with Armorsmith's Workbench can
craft armor or attempt to remove mods.
Sample Activities. Each tool also has sample activity DCs. These are examples and not an exhaustive list. GMs can adjust DCs or create new activities as they see t. These activities
require a skill check, but the skill used it up to the GM. For example, an operative pro cient with hacking tools can disable a security system. This would likely require an Intelligence
(Electronics) check, but if the security system required splicing wires, it might require a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check instead.
TOOLS & KITS
Omni-tool Programs new
Omni-tools are handheld devices that combine a computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and minifacturing fabricator. The fabrication module can rapidly assemble small three-
dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys. This allows for eld repairs and modi cations to most standard items, as well as the reuse
of salvaged equipment.
Most omni-tools come with a standard set of functionality, including scanning, remote interfacing, and some fabricator designs. However, there exist in the galaxy a number of
advanced omni-tool programs that are not available for the general population's consumption. These programs tend to be of military design, experimental hacks or deprecated
programs that have been scrubbed from the exonet.
Installation
Some omni-tool programs require an operative to integrate the module into the tool's microframe before the bene ts can be used. This process is called Installation, and certain
programs have a prerequisite for it.
Installation requires an operative to spend a short rest focused on only installing and debugging the program. If the short rest is interrupted, the installation attempt fails. Otherwise, at
the end of the short rest, the operative gains the bene ts of the program.
A program can be installed to only one omni-tool at a time. Almost all programs come with a powerful DRM and security system that prevents the program being installed on multiple
omni-tools or replicated. Interestingly, before the humans were granted an embassy on the Citadel in 2165, the concept of digital rights management was foreign to the other races of
the galaxy. But since 2165, omni-tool programs have been locked down. Attempting to hack the DRM generally has a terrible result.
An omni-tool can only have three programs activated at once. Any attempt to install to a fourth program fails; the operative must rst uninstall the program from their tool (this also
takes a short rest). Once uninstalled, the program can be traded and installed on a separated tool. Additionally, omni-tools can't have more than one copy of a program installed.
Single-Use Programs
Manufacturers and militaries quickly realized it was much easier, cheaper, faster, and (usually) safer to send bits of data rather than physical products, and let fabricators generate the
devices on site using generic materials, like omni-gel. After the advent of omni-tools, a number of industries used this method to ship their products. However, to avoid unauthorized
replication, the programs would scrub themselves once the job was complete.
Omni-tool programs that don't require installation are single-use and cost a number of omni-gel to create the nal product. Once used, the program is completely wiped. As with
installed programs, attempts to recreate these pieces of code can be costly, even deadly.
Unstable Programs
Unstable Programs are entirely experimental, therefore the number of times you can run the program varies widely. In some cases, unstable programs are single-use programs that
are hacked for multiple uses. A GM can create an Unstable Program from a Single-Use program by assigning a die roll (d4, d6, etc) to the number of times the program can be used.
OMNI-TOOL PROGRAMS
Finances
Wealth change
Wealth appears in many forms in a Mass Effect 5e galaxy. Credits, precious metals, trade goods, art objects, animals, and property can re ect your character’s nancial well-being.
Members of the lower classes trade in goods, bartering for what they need and paying taxes in all aspects of life.
Members of the upper-class trade either in legal rights, such as the rights to a mining facility, an asteroid point, or land on an eezo rich planet or in equipment and tech, measuring
tech by pro tability rather than the credits. Only shopkeepers, operatives, and those offering professional services for hire commonly deal in credits.
Currency change
Credits are the only type of currency in Mass Effect. The guideline conversion rate from D&D 5th Edition to Mass Effect 5e is:
1 gp ~= 100 credits
.
Selling Items
Opportunities abound to nd tech, gadgets, equipment, weapons, armor, and more throughout the galaxy. Normally, you can sell your bounty when you return to a civilized planet or
spaceport, provided that you can nd buyers, entrepreneurs, and fencers interested in your loot.
Arms, Armor, and Other Equipment

As a general rule, undamaged weapons, armor, and other equipment fetch half their cost when sold in a market. Weapons and armor used by mercenaries are rarely in good enough
condition to sell. Instead, you may opt to break these items down into omni-gel.
Gems, Jewelry, Art Objects, and Artifacts

These items retain their full value in the marketplace, and you can either trade them in for credits or use them as currency for other transactions. For exceptionally valuable treasures,
the GM might require you to nd a buyer in a large city or larger community rst.
Trade Goods and Other

On the borderlands, many people conduct transactions through barter. Like gems and art objects, trade goods - bars of raw metal, chemicals, livestock, omni-gel, and so on - retain
their full value in the market and can be used as currency.
Discounts new
Longtime Mass Effect players will certainly want to reference Shepard's ability to secure discounts from local shops. One option is to have players make Intimidation or Persuasion
checks (with or without Paragon/Renegade scores). However, for added variety and randomness, you can use the following set of rules.
First, assign a DC to your shopkeeper. The DC could be equal for Intimidation and Persuasion, or it could be different for each.
Next, have you player make an Intimidation or Persuasion check. If using Paragon/Renegade rule, they can add their Renegade modi er to Intimidation checks or Paragon modi er for
Persuasion checks. The result of this check adds a modi er to the nal d100 roll (see next step).
Critical Failure: -50

Failure: -20
Success: +20
Critical Success: +50
Finally, the GM or player rolls a d100 adding the modi er from the previous step. Consult the following table for the resolution.
1d100 Result
<= 10 The shopkeeper is furious that you would attempt to cheat them out of their wares. They will not do business with you or your party.
11-30 The shopkeeper sees through your ruse. If you're going to play it that way, you'll have to pay 10% more.
31-50 The shopkeeper is unmoved. They aren't going to give you a discount, but they're not shutting their doors either.
51-70 The shopkeeper has seen these ploys before, but you gave him a good chuckle, for that, you get a 10% discount.
71-90 Better to work with you than against you, the shopkeeper offers you a 20% discount.
>= 91 Either completely enthralled with your proposal, or scared out of their wits, the shopkeeper offers you a one-item discount of 50% off, and a lifetime discount of 20% off.
Lifestyle Expenses
Lifestyle expenses provide you with a simple way to account for the cost of living in the galaxy. They cover your accommodations, food and drink, and all your other necessities.
Furthermore, expenses cover the cost of maintaining your equipment so you can be ready when mission next calls.
At the start of each week or month (your choice), choose a lifestyle from the Lifestyle Expenses table and pay the price to sustain that lifestyle. The prices listed are per day, so if you
wish to calculate the cost of your chosen lifestyle over a thirty-day period, multiply the listed price by 30. Your lifestyle might change from one period to the next, based on the funds
you have at your disposal, or you might maintain the same lifestyle throughout your character's career.
Your lifestyle choice can have consequences. Maintaining a wealthy lifestyle might help you make contacts with the rich and powerful, though you run the risk of attracting thieves.
Likewise, living frugally might help you avoid criminals, but you are unlikely to make powerful connections.
Lifestyle Expenses
Wretched -
Squalid 25 credits
Poor 75 credits
Modest 150 credits
Comfortable 250 credits
Wealthy 500 credits
Aristocratic 1,000 credits minimum
Wretched. You live in inhumane conditions. With no place to call home, you shelter wherever you can, sneaking into transit tunnels, huddling in alleyways, and relying on the good
graces of people better off than you. A wretched lifestyle presents abundant dangers. Violence, disease, and hunger follow you wherever you go. Other wretched people covet your
armor, weapons, and gear, which represent a fortune by their standards. You are beneath the notice of most people.
Squalid. You live in the slums, a condemned building, a repurposed shipping container, or a roach-infested boarding house in the worst part of town. You have shelter from the
elements, but you live in a desperate and often violent environment, in places rife with disease, hunger, and misfortune. You are beneath the notice of most people, and you have few
legal protections. Most people at this lifestyle level have suffered some terrible setback. They might be disturbed, marked as exiles, or suffer from disease.
Poor. A poor lifestyle means going without the comforts available in a stable community. Simple food and lodgings, threadbare clothing, and unpredictable conditions result in a
su cient, though probably unpleasant, experience. Your accommodations might be a room in a rundown apartment, the basement dwelling of a business, or the bunker of a faction.
You bene t from some legal protections, but you still have to contend with violence, crime, and disease. People at this lifestyle level tend to be unskilled laborers, thieves, mercenaries,
and other disreputable types.
Modest. A modest lifestyle keeps you out of the slums and ensures that you can maintain your equipment. You live in an older part of the city, renting a room in a crowded apartment.
You don't go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple. Ordinary people living modest lifestyles include soldiers with families, laborers, students, service workers.
Comfortable. Choosing a comfortable lifestyle means that you can afford nicer clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a nice apartment in a middle-class
neighborhood or in a small townhouse. You associate with shopkeepers, skilled tradespeople, and military o cers.
Wealthy. Choosing a wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury, though you might not have achieved the social status associated with the old money of nobility or royalty. You live a
lifestyle comparable to that of a highly successful small business owner, a politician, or a doctor. You have respectable lodgings, usually a spacious home in a good part of town or a
comfortable suite at the top level of an apartment building. You likely have a small staff of workers to maintain your home or run day to day errands.
Aristocratic. You live a life of plenty and comfort. You move in circles populated by the most powerful people in the community. You have excellent lodgings, perhaps a mansion in the
nicest part of town or a luxurious suite. You dine at the best restaurants, retain the most skilled and fashionable tailor, and have workers attending to your every need. You receive
invitations to the social gatherings of the rich and powerful and spend evenings in the company of politicians, community leaders, and other elite persons. You must also contend with
the highest levels of deceit and treachery. The wealthier you are, the greater the chance you will be drawn into political intrigue as a pawn or participant.
Self Su ciency
The expenses and lifestyles described here assume that you are spending your time between adventures on an advanced planet in a city or town, availing yourself of whatever
services you can afford - paying for food and lodging, paying skilled workers to mend your armor or service your weapons, and so on. Some characters, though, might prefer to spend
their time away from civilization, sustaining themselves in the wild by hunting, foraging, and repairing their own gear.
Maintaining this kind of lifestyle doesn't require you to spend any coin, but it is time-consuming. If you spend your time between adventures practicing a profession, you can eke out
the equivalent of a poor lifestyle. Pro ciency in Survival the skill lets you live at the equivalent of a comfortable lifestyle.

Vehicles
Concept
Unlike in traditional 5e fantasy settings, in the Mass Effect universe, players and GMs can expect to be both frequently and actively involved in the operation of modes of
transportation beyond animal mounts, wagons, and sailing ships. This module is intended to be a “bolt-on” set of rules to use in ME5e campaigns where signi cant playtime is
dedicated to the use of vehicles, both for travel and combat. If your campaign only uses vehicles as a narrative bridge or as “set dressing” you do not need to include these rules in
your game.
Transports vs Starships
All vehicles are broadly categorized as either a transport or a starship. A transport can be any of a wide range of vehicles from a single-person ATV or motorbike to an armored
personnel carrier to a small shuttle or orbital star- ghter. Starship refers to (typically larger) vessels designed to travel in deep space between planets. A general rule-of-thumb is that
if a vehicle can travel from one world to another, either by means of an FTL drive or a mass effect relay, it is a Starship. Otherwise, it’s probably a transport.
A notable exception is the UT-47 Kodiak drop shuttle featured through the Mass Effect series. This vehicle, and others like it, can be considered both a “transport” and a
 “starship”, depending on the context.
Basic Information
All vehicles share some of the same basic features.
Armor Class
AC for vehicles works exactly the same as in the basic 5e rules.
Hull Points (hit points)

This represents how much damage a vehicle or starship can take before it is destroyed.
Shield Points
Shields for vehicles and starships work generally the same as in the main ME5e rules, with a notable exception: Vehicle shields can only be regenerated in combat when players
attempt the Restore action (explained later in this section).
Speed
For vehicles, speed is relative to other vehicles and is represented as a static number not as meters. For the purposes of combat, it represents the number of playmat spaces the
vehicle can move on its turn when moving at a normal pace.
Range
Range represents how far the vehicle can travel in one 24 period. For starships, range is used in conjunction with the Galaxy Map. Each line indicates the travel time between star
systems, which you subtract from the starships range. Travel to planets within a star systems costs 1 range. You can read more about range for starships in the Traveling the Galaxy
section
Minimum Crew
The number of crew required for the vehicle to operate. In some cases, at the GM’s discretion, it may be possible to operate a vehicle with less than the minimum required number of
crew. Rolls made to operate vehicles in these conditions will most likely be made at disadvantage, again at the GM’s discretion.
Crew Capacity
The total number of sentient organisms that a ship can accommodate. This is a combination of active crew and any passengers. In some cases, this number can be expanded by
using cargo capacity, below.
Cargo Capacity
How much “stuff” a vehicle can hold. This is measured in Megagrams (also known as a “tonne” or “metric ton”).
1 Mg = 1,000 kg = 2,204 lbs.
This will be rounded to the nearest 0.5 mg (500 kg). When calculating cargo capacity, we suggest using this as a guideline to estimate cargo capacity rather than getting bogged down
in speci c calculations. For points of reference, a small hatchback car weighs just over 1 Mg while the largest tanker ships in the world have a capacity of over 200,000 Mg.
Systems
Systems refer to a number of semi-independent functions that make-up the overall operation of a vehicle. These are things like navigation, communications, weapons array, etc. These
are used to simulate the cooperative effort involved in operating larger, complex vessels, and player characters will often be called upon to make skill-based rolls to operate these
individual systems. Generally speaking, small vehicles, especially those with only a single crew member, will not have designated systems.
Weapons
Weapons, in many cases, will refer to a speci c system or systems on a vehicle. Vehicle-mounted weapons will typically have a multiplier after their damage roll to represent how
powerful they are. For example, a cruiser’s mass accelerator cannon has a damage roll of 2d6[x100] and an M35 Mako’s coaxial machine-gun has a damage roll of 2d6[x10]. In these
situations, you roll and add damage dice and any bonuses as usual. After you have determined your result, multiply the total by the amount indicated. In our example, if both weapons
roll a 7 for their damage, the cruiser deals 700 damage and the Mako deals 70.
Size
Most transports use the standard size categories: Small, Medium, Large, Huge, or Gargantuan. However, starships can become truly colossal and have 4 additional categories.
Frigates are light transport vehicles, usually used for exploration, transportation of small squads, privately funded excursions, or stealth transport. The Normandy is an example of a
frigate. Frigates can land on planets and typically host a crew of 5-20.
Cruisers are middleweight ships that can either transport large amounts of supplies from place to place or focus on repower. Military cruisers tend to be the front-line of the battle
and have powerful weapons, shields, and armor. Cruisers typically have crews of 20 - 100 and are able to land on planets.
Carriers, also called freighters, are large ships meant to carry transports (star ghters and dropships). Carriers are primarily military in nature though some venture capitalists have
used carriers for mining operations and colonizing efforts. Carriers are typically weak in combat, being slow and lacking much repower or shielding. Instead, carriers utilize their
transports for offense and defense. Carriers are built in space and are too large to land on planets (purposefully). Instead, most carriers use drop ships for planetary exploration.
Carriers can support crews in the hundreds.
Dreadnoughts are the largest class of ship, generally a kilometer or more long with incredible repower that’s harnessed in the main cannon which is able to decimate entire cities,
squads of enemy ghters, and other dreadnoughts. Dreadnoughts are meant for extended life in space, usually hosting a crew in the thousands and a self-sustaining ecosystem of
shops, leisure activities, police force, politics, etc. Think of dreadnaughts as a small town oating through space. The arks of Andromeda were dreadnoughts as are the Liveships that
the quarian race inhabits. The ships are so costly to make that the total number of dreadnoughts in the Milky Way is less than 200 with most races having only one or none. It’s
impossible to land Dreadnoughts on planets safely.
Cost
The costs listed for vehicles represent their market value. Some vehicles, instead, are military meaning the vehicles cannot be purchased on the open market. Instead, characters will
need inside connects, the black market, or luck to acquire these vehicles.
CR
Transports have a CR between 0 and 30, which is based on its hp, ac, and damage. Starships have a + symbol after their CR, which indicates that this CR is a relative representation
based on other starships. It is unlikely that operatives will destroy a starship with traditional weapons. Instead, they'll likely have to use other vehicles. For example, a starship with a
CR of 12+ has the same XP reward as a level CR creature when the operatives destroy it using other vehicles. If operatives did manage to destroy the vehicle using traditional means,
we recommend providing XP equal to the standard amount multiplied by 10. For example, a cr 12 creature provides 8,400 XP. If players destroyed this with traditional means, the GM
can reward 84,000 XP.
Systems
Systems are the semi-independent functions that make-up the overall operation of the vehicle. But systems also refer or a "place" within the vehicle where crucial operations must be
performed. For example, to pilot the vehicle, you typically have to be at the helm, and to re the weapons, you have to be at the terminal that controls the cannons or targeting system.
In some cases, a vehicle might have a combined system, e.g. Helm/Navigation/SSC. When two or more systems are combined, operatives can access their functions from a single (or
sometimes multiple) locations.
Helm
The helm is the pilot seat. Players at the helm are able to take the Maneuver action, which can temporarily increase the AC of their starship or vehicle, representing the pilot’s ability to
evade oncoming attacks.
Navigation
A starships navigation system is necessary to plot jumps between Mass Effect Relays. More about using your ships navigation can be found in the Travelling the Galaxy section
below.
Weapons
Players must be at the weapons system to take the Attack action in combat. Weapon damage for vehicles has a x10 modi er. Starships have a x100 modi er.
EWS (Electronic Warfare Suite)

The ships EWS protects the vehicle from hacking attempts but also allows the crew to attempt to hack other ships. Players must be at the EWS system to take the Harden or
Sabotage action in combat.
SSC (Sensors, Scanners, and Communications)

Every vehicle comes with at least some modicum of sensors, scanners, and communication systems. Sensors and scanners allow players to scan planets and satellites for
composites and valuable materials. Comms allow the vehicle to hail other ships and planets. Players must be at the Sensors systems to take the Scan action during combat.
Drive
The drive and engineering deck are the heart of the ship. Damage to a ship’s drive can render it immobile and shut down other vital systems. Players at the Engineering system can
attempt the Restore action in combat.
Additional Systems & Upgrades

Starships can have additional systems on board, such as improved quarters, workshops, and labs. Starship systems can also be upgraded. The Ship Upgrades table provides a list of
common systems and system upgrades.
Some systems provide a list of Downtime Activities, meaning players can participate in one of the Downtime Activity listed while on board the ship during a long rest. The Downtime
Training has a list of tool and/or weapon pro ciencies that can be learned from participating in the Downtime Activity: Training.
Adding a new system or installing an upgrade takes 8 hours of uninterrupted work. You can either pay a skilled hireling for a days work or you can make the upgrades yourself.

Maintaining Systems
Every system requires maintenance, and vehicle systems are no different. For larger vehicles, like starships, your maintenance is generally performed by your crew. Every system
requires at least 16 hours of maintenance per month. Maintenance can be performed by a skilled hireling for 3000 credits over 2 long rests, or over time by a dedicated crew member
(as discussed below).
Replacing systems
If a system breaks and must be replaced, you lose any upgrades to that system and must purchase a new one for 300,000 credits.
Months Without Maintenance

Months without maintenance Effect
Any checks made at the system are made at disadvantage and any downtime activities completed with the system take twice as
1
long.
2 Roll a d20. On a 5 or less, the system breaks and cannot be used in any way. It must be replaced.
5 The system breaks and cannot be used in any way. It must be replaced.
Crew
All starships require some amount of crew to remain functional and the more systems your ship has the more crew it will need. The minimum crew attribute of your ship indicates the
number of people you need to operate and maintain the ship. Every minimum crew member is linked to at least 1 starship system.
Roleplaying Crew
You can treat crew as NPCs or as an abstract number. Though we highly suggest the former. Crew do not require a stat block; a name, description, and alignment are generally
enough.
Operatives as Crew
Characters may instead choose to take the role of a crew member and perform the duties that a hired NPC would do. However, to do this requires the character to spend their free
time performing the duties that the crew member would have done. The character must also be pro cient in the system they want to maintain. Special systems (like the rec room or
med-bay) do not require a pro ciency and combined systems only require to be pro cient in one of the systems that are combined.
An operative that chooses to take on the role of a crew member must spend at least 1 long rest per month maintaining the system.
Paying Crew
Your crew expects to live a modest lifestyle. The owner(s) of the ship must pay each crew member 150 credits per day. At the end of each month, multiply your required crew by 150
and again by 30. If you cannot pay the total amount, you either pay none of it (at which point all members crew become disgruntled) or you pay all of it and roll a d6. The result is the
number of crew that become disgruntled.
Extended Space Travel

Living on a starship for an extended period of time is di cult and can aggravate even the most experienced space travelers. For every week you spend traveling the galaxy, you must
spend one long rest at port. The port must be at a settled world in a town or city.
Failure to spend a long rest at port can potentially cause your crew to become disgruntled. Every time you skip a day at port, roll a d6. The result is the number of crew that become
disgruntled.
Disgruntled Crew
Disgruntled crew cause problems. They get in ghts, slack off, leave for better jobs, and may even mutiny! When you start a long rest on board your ship, if you have at least 1
disgruntled crew member, roll a d20, add the number of disgruntled crew on board to the roll. Then consult the Disgruntled Crew table.
Disgruntled Crew
d20 + number of disgruntled crew Result
1-5 Nothing happens.
6-8 A ght breaks out between two crew members. Another member of your crew becomes disgruntled.
9 - 11 One of your disgruntled crew quits the next time you’re at port.
12 - 13 A crew member starts an private email chain that infuriates the other crew. Two additional crew become disgruntled.
14 - 15 All of your disgruntled crew quit the next time you’re at port.
A crew member forgets to service their system. You must pay 3,000 credits before you can use it again. (If this is the Drive, you
16 - 17
ship cannot move between systems)
A crew member sabotages their system. You must pay 20,000 credits before you can use it again. (If this is the Drive, you ship
18 - 19
cannot move between systems)
20 + The crew mutinies. They all become hostile and attack your party.
Dealing with disgruntled crew

You reduce the number of disgruntled crew in the following ways:
Fire the disgruntled crew member. You will need to nd a replacement for that crew member's system. At the GM's discretion, this may also cause more crew to become
disgruntled.
Throw the crew member out an airlock. You will need to nd a replacement for that crew member's system. In addition, roll a d6. The result is the number of additional crew that
become disgruntled due to your actions. Note: advisable when a majority of the crew is disgruntled. Best practices suggest throwing the entire crew out the airlock in these
situations and hiring entirely new at a port.
Provide bonus pay equal to one week's salary (1,050 credits)
Provide an extended stay at a port (2 long rests worth)
If your group has created NPCs for each of your crew, the GM might add new ways for the crew to become disgruntled. If you ignore a distress signal, a good crew member might
become disgruntled. Of if you hand over a large cache to the authorities, a chaotic or evil crew member might become disgruntled. Additionally, the GM can adjudicate other creative
ways to make disgruntled crew contented again. Some may like music, some games and your characters can roleplay situations that result in a pleased crew member.
Starship Combat
Vehicle combat works similarly to standard creature combat. Each player rolls initiative as normal. Each enemy vehicle also rolls initiative, with any NPCs on board those vehicles
acting on the vehicles initiative count. Vehicles do not add any bonus to their initiative rolls. You may use the vehicles’ speed to break ties between vehicle rolls.
The primary difference in starship combat is that operatives on board a starship have an additional list of actions they can make on their turn. Most actions require the player to be
stationed at the necessary system. When an encounter begins, operatives may choose to “Report to battle stations” and place themselves at a speci c system.
Starship Actions
Attack - Weapon System
Make a ranged attack roll. Do not add your pro ciency bonus unless you are pro cient with Starship Systems (Weapons).
Targeted Attack - Weapon System

Name a system on a target vehicle and make a ranged attack roll. The target’s AC has a +5 bonus against this attack. On a hit, roll damage and the system is disabled and cannot be
used until it is repaired. Any creature manning that system takes damage equal to one half the damage roll.
Maneuver - Helm
Make a DC 15 Dexterity (Vehicle Handling) check. On a success, your ship’s AC increases by an amount equal to half its speed score until the start of your next turn.
Hard Maneuver - Helm

Make a DC 20 Dexterity (Vehicle Handling) check. On a success, your ship’s AC increases by an amount equal to twice its speed score until the start of your next turn. Creatures on
board your ship must make a Constitution saving throw to endure to heavy g-forces imposed on the ship. On a failed save, a creature has disadvantage on its next action. Creatures on
board your ship cannot take the Move action until the start of your next turn.
Repair - Anywhere
Make a DC 15 Intelligence (Engineering) check. On a success, you patch some damage done to your ship, restoring 50 hit points.
Advanced Repair - Anywhere
Make a DC 20 Intelligence (Engineering) check. On a success, you manage to repair major damage, restoring 150 hit points.
System Repair - Disabled System

To take this action, you must be located at a system that is disabled. Make a DC 20 Intelligence (Engineering) check. On a success, the system is repaired and can be used again.
Restore - Drive
Make a DC 15 Intelligence (Engineering) check. On a success, you’re able to reroute power to your shields, restoring 100 shield points.
Harden - EWS
Make a DC 10 Intelligence (Electronics) check. On a success, you harden the security of your EWS until the start of your next turn. While hardened, any attempt to sabotage your ship
will have disadvantage.
Sabotage - EWS
Choose a target from the table below and make an Intelligence (Electronics) check. The DC of this check and its effect on a success is determined by the chosen target. You must
choose your target before making your Intelligence check.
Target DC Effect
SSC 10 Target cannot take the Scan action until the start of your next turn.
Helm 12 Target has disadvantage on Maneuver and Hard Maneuver checks until the start of your next turn.
Shields 15 Reduce the targets shields by 1d4 (x50)
Navigation 18 The target ship cannot Flee.
Weapons 20 Target has disadvantage on Attack and Targeted attack rolls until the start of your next turn.
Scan - SSC
Make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check as your peruse the logs of incoming ship data. On a success, you may ask one question about a target ship. The GM must answer this
question honestly.
Flee - Navigation
Make a DC 14 Intelligence (Science) check to plot a course away from battle. On a success, you may enter FTL and ee the battle. Combat immediately ends and you move to a
system within your ship’s range.
Move - Anywhere
Use your Action to move to a different Starship System.
Help - Anywhere
Use your Action to Help a friendly creature use a Starship System. You must be located at the same system as the creature. The creature gains advantage the next time it takes an
action with the starship system.
Defer to VI - Anywhere
Use your Action to defer to the ship’s onboard VI. You may have it take any of the Starship System actions. When you do so, roll a d20 to make the check or attack. You cannot add any
modi ers or bonuses to the roll.
Travel
Mass Effect Galaxy Map by otvert (Full Size)

The Milky Way
The Milky Way comprises a number of Clusters (represented by the yellow, target icons  on the map). Each Cluster is composed of Systems, and, in turn, each System contains a
group of planetary objects (generally a star and any number of planets and their moons, planetoids, asteroids, comets and other celestial bodies).
For example, Earth is a planet in the Sol System, which is the only system in the Local Cluster. Tuchanka (the homeworld of the Krogan) is part of the Aralakh System, which is one of
3 systems in the Krogan DMZ cluster.
Note on names: You may wonder why the names aren’t more “alien”. Our best guess is that the names are either part of a human-centered database (in which names were provided to
the entries by humans), or that the names have been translated into similar human-cultured counterparts. For example, the Athena Nebula is home of the Asari, a race of androgynous
beings that associate themselves to a female gender. Thus the nebula’s name (in Asari) might be a cultural gure, turn-of-phase, or mystical entity that is best represented as Athena
in human culture.
Traveling between clusters, systems, and planets
Space Transports
There four types of transports in the game: land, water, air, and space. To leave a planet or move between planets in a system requires a space transport. For simplicity's sake, travel
within a system (from any celestial body to another) takes less than 24 hours. Using the Sol system as an example, a party could leave Earth and arrive at Io, Europa, Pluto, or Sol’s
Mass Relay within 24 hours. The GM can adjust this time as they see t. A rickety ship might move more slowly and require many stops at moons and planets along the way. A very
fast ship might make the journey from Earth to Pluto within a few hours.
Leaving a planet
The time it takes to leave a planet varies widely based on how regulated space tra c is on that planet. On urban worlds like Thessia or the Citadel, it can take as long as 2-4 hours to
orbit and dock. On uninhabited worlds, your ship can land and leave as quickly as the pilot is capable. This can take as little as a few minutes. Finding a safe place to land might take a
little longer.
Starships
To travel from system to system, or cluster to cluster, your party will need to use a starship. Every starship has a range attribute which represents the number of system and cluster
jumps it can make in a 24 hour period. Traveling between systems in a cluster or jumping from one cluster to another takes 1 range.
Traveling between systems is the same as traveling between planets. You can move to any other system within a cluster and it costs 1 range. A starship with 3 range that starts on
Tuchanka can leave the planet an arrive in Nith (another system in the Krogan DMZ cluster) within 24 hours. The same starship (with a range of 3) could also leave Turchanka, y to
the Nith system, then to the Dranek system (also in the Krogan DMZ cluster), and back to the Aralakh system within a 24 hour period. If the ship was making stops on planets in each
system, it would likely take longer as the ship enters and leaves orbit.
Traveling between clusters requires a Mass Relay. Mass Relays are mass transit devices scattered throughout the Milky Way, forming an enormous network that allows interstellar
travel. There is only one Mass Relay per cluster, located in a single system which is marked with a * on the map. To travel from cluster to cluster, you must rst travel to the system
that contains the mass effect relay. Then you can jump to another cluster.
Mass Relays are connected as a network, but travel between relays might require additional jumps. I.e., unlike travel between planets and systems, you can only move between
clusters following the lines on the map.
EXAMPLE TRAVEL
The party has been searching for a Prothean device in the Carbonaceous Asteroid (Phoenix system, Argos Rho cluster). To collect their reward, they must return the
device to a fence on the Citadel.
 In this example, the party has requisitioned a starship with a range of 2. It takes 1 range to move from the Phoenix system to the Hydra system which contains the Mass
Relay for the Argos Rho cluster. Then it requires 2 Mass Relay jumps (Argos Rho > Horse Head Nebula > Serpent Nebula), arriving in the Widow system where the Citadel
is located. For our group, this would take as little as 24 but no more than 48 hours to complete the journey.
Variant Rules
Variant: Navigation
As a GM, you can choose whether or not exploration & navigation are an essential component. If not, you can assume that every ship has a full list of star maps and travel from cluster
to cluster and system to system is as easy as punching in coordinates.
However, if you'd like to provide more of a challenge, you can have your players use the Navigation starship system to navigate the galaxy. With this rule, have your players make an
Intelligence (Science) check before any planned travel, representing the plotting of a course. The DC of this roll is either 12 (for known locations) or 18 (for unknown). On a success,
the characters arrive at the location as normal, but it takes twice as much time and fuel on a failure. You can also impose other consequences such as pirates, disgruntled crew, or
ship damage.
Whether or not the characters know of a location is dependent on Star Maps. You may choose to break up star maps by Sectors (the large groupings of clusters) or by clusters.
Variant: Mining & Probes

Ships can be equipped with Mining Probes. Each probe costs 100 credits and ships have a capacity based on its size: 10 for frigates, 20 for carriers, 50 for cruisers, and 100 for
dreadnoughts. When orbiting a celestial body, an operative can use the ship's SSC system to expend a Mining Probe and make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check. The DC of
this check is determined by how "rich" the planet is.
On a success, you can spend a long rest mining the area. Roll a die based on how rich the planet is, and gain that many units of the element.
Elements
Rarity Elements Credits / Unit
Common Aluminium, Beryllium, Copper, Graphite, Iron, Magnesium, Silicon 100
Uncommon Cadmium, Fluorite, Iridium, Lithium, Nickel, Uranium 250
Rare Palladium, Platinum, Titanium, Vanadium 500
Very Rare Element Zero 1500
Mining Results
Richness Result Dice
Scarce d4
Poor d6
Moderate d8
Abundant d10
Rich d12
Variant: Fuel
Fuel in Mass Effect 5e is an abstract concept. Most ships can mine and create fuel using on-board fabricators as it travels the Galaxy. Fuel is represented by the range of the ship
(how far it can travel in 24 hours). If you would like to keep track of fuel, the GM can use the following Variant: Fuel rules.
Your "tank" capacity is equal to your ship's range multiplied by 3. Each time you expend 1 range, you also expend 1 charge from your tank. You can either spend a long rest on an
asteroid or planet mining fuel or you can refuel at a spaceport. To mine fuel use the Variant: Mining rules above. On a success, roll a d8 and regain that many charges.
Alternatively, you can pay to refuel at a spaceport. The average rate is 1,000 credits per charge in your tank, but this might increase or decrease based on the port.
VEHICLE LIST
Creating New Vehicles
The Vehicle List above provides a short list of vehicle examples for you to use in your campaign. However, it is encouraged that you and/or your GM create vehicles of their own to use
in your campaign. Use the following guidelines when creating your vehicle.
Create a concept
First, you'll want to create a concept for your vehicle. What is its main purpose (defense, offense, transport, smuggling, etc)? What race(s) are associated with the vehicle? Is it unique
or mass produced? What does it look like? What size is it?
If you're looking for inspiration, check out Euderion's vehicle creations on DeviantArt.
Name
Next, you'll need a good name for your vehicle. Mass produced vehicles typically have some sort of manufacturing number combined with a codename or nickname. If your vehicle is
a unique creation, it might have a symbolic name.
Vehicle Type
The vehicle type should be either transport or starship. If you've selected transport, designate which transport type it is: land, sea, air, or space. Some transports can have multiple
types.
Size
If you're creating a transport, choose the size from standard sizes: Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan. For starships, choose one of Frigate, Cruiser, Carrier, or Dreadnought.
Speed
A vehicles speed is somewhat abstract. Mechanically, it represents the number of playmat spaces it can move in one turn. This assumes the vehicle is moving an average pace and
slow enough to turn and maneuver. Speed should range from 1 to 15.
Range
For transports, range is the number of kilometers the vehicle can travel within 24 hours. This calculation should also take its battery or fuel capacity into account.
For starships, the range is calculated as ftlu (faster than light units). Essentially how many Mass Effect Relay jumps or system to system travel it can complete in 24 hours.
Cargo
How many tonnes can the ship carry? Try thinking about how many mid-size cars can t into the vehicle or the vehicle tow, this is its Cargo capacity.
Cost
What is the market rate of the vehicle? It might be that the vehicle is military and not sold on the open market.
AC
How durable is your vehicle's armor? Or how di cult is it to hit? ACs for vehicles generally range from 10 - 25.
HP & SP
Use the following table to nd the average hull points and shield points. You should adjust the average based on the concept of your vehicle. Was it made for defense? Add more HP.
Does it has a state-of-the-art drive, add more SP.
Type HP SP
Transport 150 50
Frigate 1200 250
Cruiser 2000 500
Carrier 3500 750
Dreadnought 6000 1500
Systems
Next, you'll want to decide how many systems your vehicle has. You can either make combined systems (for smaller vehicles) or have individual systems (for large starships). A
system might be so advanced that it requires multiple crew member to maintain.
Crew
Minimum
To nd the minimum crew, add the number of crew needed for each of the systems.
Maximum
The maximum crew is generally based on the size of the vehicle
Type Max Crew
Medium 1
Large 2-3
Hugh 6-8
Gargantuan 10-20
Type Max Crew
Frigate 20-30
Cruiser 30-100
Carrier 100-1000
Dreadnought 1000+
Weapons
Decide what weapons are equipped on the vehicle. For transports, damage rolls are multiplied by 10 and by 100 for starships. It's also ok for the vehicle to have no weapons.
CR
To calculate the CR, you'll need access to the Monster Statistics by Challenge Rating table in the Dungeon Master's Guide, pg. 274.
Offensive CR
First, nd the offensive CR by calculating the average of all the damaging attacks. If this is a starship, additionally divide the average by 10. Then nd the CR associated with that
damage on the Monster Stats table.
Defensive CR
Next, nd the defensive CR by adding the hull point and shield points together. If this is a starship, additionally, divide the sum by 10. Then nd the CR associated with that hit point
value on the Monster Stats table. If the AC is greater than the AC on the Monster Stats table, increase the defensive CR by 1 for every 2 points above the target AC.
Final CR
The nal CR is the average of the offensive and defensive CR, rounded up. If this is for a starship, notate a + symbol beside the CR.
Transport example:
AC: 20
HP: 250
SP: 0
Attacks: 35 & 55
Offensive CR = (35 + 55) / 2 = 45, corresponds with a CR of 7
Defensive CR = 250 + 0 = 250, corresponds with a CR of 12. However, the target AC for CR 12 is only 17. So the nal Defensive CR becomes 13 (+1 because the AC is 20).
Final CR = (13 + 7) / 2 = 10
Starship example:
AC: 25
HP: 2500
SP: 600
Attack: 1100 & 900
Offensive CR = ((1100 + 900) / 2) / 10 = 100, corresponds with a CR of 16
Defensive CR = (2500 + 600) / 10 = 310, corresponds with a CR of 16. However, the target AC for CR 16 is only 18. So the nal Defensive CR becomes 19 (+3 because the AC is 25).
Final CR = (16 + 19) / 2 = 17.5 = 18+
Additional Details
Finally, write a short description about your vehicle and notate if it has any special abilities, additional systems, or available system slots.

Combat
The Order of Combat
A typical combat encounter is a clash between two sides, a urry of bullets, energy weapons, ducking behind cover, slinging biotic and tech spells. The game organizes the chaos of
combat into a cycle of rounds and turns. A round represents about 6 seconds in the game world. During a round, each participant in a battle takes a turn. The order of turns is
determined at the beginning of a combat encounter, when everyone rolls initiative. Once everyone has taken a turn, the ght continues to the next round if neither side has defeated
the other.
Combat Step by Step

1. Determine surprise. The GM determines whether anyone involved in the combat encounter is surprised.
2. Establish positions. The GM decides where all the characters and monsters are located. Given the operatives' marching order or their stated positions in the room or other
location, the GM gures out where the adversaries ar - -how far away and in what direction.
3. Roll initiative. Everyone involved in the combat encounter rolls initiative, determining the order of combatants' turns.
4. Take turns. Each participant in the battle takes a turn in initiative order.
5. Begin the next round. When everyone involved in the combat has had a turn, the round ends. Repeat step 4 until the ghting stops.
Surprise
A team of operatives sneaks up on a patrolling cerberus squad, springing from behind cargo crates to attack them. A varren slinks in the shadows, unnoticed by the operatives until
the varren attacks one of them. In these situations, one side of the battle gains surprise over the other.
The GM determines who might be surprised. If neither side tries to be stealthy, they automatically notice each other. Otherwise, the GM compares the Dexterity (Stealth) checks of
anyone hiding with the passive Wisdom (Perception) score of each creature on the opposing side. Any character or monster that doesn't notice a threat is surprised at the start of the
encounter.
If you're surprised, you can't move or take an action on your rst turn of the combat, and you can't take a reaction until that turn ends. A member of a group can be surprised even if the
other members aren't.
Initiative
Initiative determines the order of turns during combat. When combat starts, every participant makes a Dexterity check to determine their place in the initiative order. The GM makes
one roll for an entire group of identical creatures, so each member of the group acts at the same time.
The GM ranks the combatants in order from the one with the highest Dexterity check total to the one with the lowest. This is the order (called the initiative order) in which they act
during each round. The initiative order remains the same from round to round.
If a tie occurs, the GM decides the order among tied GM-controlled creatures, and the players decide the order among their tied characters. The GM can decide the order if the tie is
between a monster and a player character. Optionally, the GM can have the tied characters and monsters each roll a d20 to determine the order, highest roll going rst.
Your Turn
On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed and take one action. You decide whether to move rst or take your action rst. Your speed - sometimes called your walking
speed - is noted on your character sheet.
The most common actions you can take are described in the "Actions in Combat" section below. Many class features and other abilities provide additional options for your action.
The "Movement and Position" section gives the rules for your move.
You can forgo moving, taking an action, or doing anything at all on your turn. If you can't decide what to do on your turn, consider taking the Dodge or Ready action, as described in
"Actions in Combat."
Bonus Actions
Various class features, spells, and other abilities let you take an additional action on your turn called a bonus action. The Cunning Action feature, for example, allows an in ltrator to
take a bonus action. You can take a bonus action only when a special ability, spell, or other feature of the game states that you can do something as a bonus action. You otherwise
don't have a bonus action to take.
You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so you must choose which bonus action to use when you have more than one available.
You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action's timing is speci ed, and anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you
from taking a bonus action.
Other Activity on Your Turn

Your turn can include a variety of ourishes that require neither your action nor your move.
You can communicate however you are able, through brief utterances and gestures, as you take your turn.
You can also interact with one object or feature of the environment for free, during either your move or your action. For example, you could open a door during your move as you stride
toward a foe, or you could draw your weapon as part of the same action you use to attack.
If you want to interact with a second object, you need to use your action. Some items and other special objects always require an action to use, as stated in their descriptions.
The GM might require you to use an action for any of these activities when it needs special care or when it presents an unusual obstacle. For instance, the GM could reasonably
expect you to use an action to open a stuck door or turn a push a large crate into a covering position.
Reactions
Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to take a special action called a reaction. A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your
turn or on someone else's. The opportunity attack, described later in this chapter, is the most common type of reaction.
When you take a reaction, you can't take another one until the start of your next turn. If the reaction interrupts another creature's turn, that creature can continue its turn right after the
reaction.
Movement & Position
In combat, characters and monsters are in constant motion, often using movement and position to gain the upper hand.
On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed. You can use as much or as little of your speed as you like on your turn, following the rules here.
Your movement can include jumping, climbing, and swimming. These different modes of movement can be combined with walking, or they can constitute your entire move. However
you're moving, you deduct the distance of each part of your move from your speed until it is used up or until you are done moving.
Breaking Up Your Move

You can break up your movement on your turn, using some of your speed before and after your action. For example, if you have a speed of 10 meters, you can move 4 meters, take
your action, and then move 6 meters.
Moving between Attacks

If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. For example, a soldier who can
make two attacks with the Extra Attack feature and who has a speed of 10 meters could move 4 meters, make an attack, move 4 meters, and then attack again.
Using Different Speeds

If you have more than one speed, such as your walking speed and a ying speed, you can switch back and forth between your speeds during your move. Whenever you switch,
subtract the distance you've already moved from the new speed. The result determines how much farther you can move. If the result is 0 or less, you can't use the new speed during
the current move.
For example, if you have a speed of 10 and a ying speed of 20 because you're wearing a jetpack, you could y 10 meters, then walk 4 meters, and then leap into the air to y 6 meters
more.
Di cult Terrain
Combat rarely takes place in bare rooms or on featureless plains. Boulder-strewn caverns, briar-choked forests, treacherous staircases - the setting of a typical ght contains di cult
terrain.
Every meter of movement in di cult terrain costs 1 extra meter. This rule is true even if multiple things in a space count as di cult terrain.
Low furniture, crates, trash cans, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of di cult terrain. The space of another creature, whether hostile or not, also
counts as di cult terrain.
Being Prone
Combatants often nd themselves lying on the ground, either because they are knocked down or because they throw themselves down. In the game, they are prone. You can drop
prone without using any of your speed. Standing up takes more effort; doing so costs an amount of movement equal to half your speed. For example, if your speed is 10 meters, you
must spend 5 meters of movement to stand up. You can't stand up if you don't have enough movement left or if your speed is 0.
To move while prone, you must crawl. Every foot of movement while crawling costs 1 extra meter. Crawling 1 meter in di cult terrain, therefore, costs 3 meters of movement.
Interacting with Objects

Around You Here are a few examples of the sorts of thing you can do in tandem with your movement and action:
draw or sheathe a sword

open or close a door
withdraw a medi-gel from your armor
pick up a dropped weapon
take a datapad from a table
remove your helmet
stuff some food into your mouth
plant a banner in the ground
drink all the ale in a agon
throw a lever or a switch
extinguish a small ame
put your ear to a door
kick a small stone
tap the oor with your weapon
hand an item to another character
Moving Around Other Creatures

You can move through a nonhostile creature's space. In contrast, you can move through a hostile creature's space only if the creature is at least two sizes larger or smaller than you.
Remember that another creature's space is di cult terrain for you.
Whether a creature is a friend or an enemy, you can't willingly end your move in its space.
If you leave a hostile creature's reach during your move, you provoke an opportunity attack, as explained later.
Flying Movement
Flying creatures enjoy many bene ts of mobility, but they must also deal with the danger of falling. If a ying creature is knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise
deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it has the ability to hover or it is being held aloft by biotics, such as by the y spell.
Creature Size
Each creature takes up a different amount of space. The Size Categories table shows how much space a creature of a particular size controls in combat. Objects sometimes use the
same size categories.
Size Category
Size Space
Tiny 1m by 1m
Small 2m by 2m
Medium 2m by 2m
Large 4m by 4m
Huge 8m by 8m
Gargantuan 10m by 10m
Space
A creature's space is the area in feet that it effectively controls in combat, not an expression of its physical dimensions. A typical Medium creature isn't 2 meters wide, for example, but
it does control a space that wide. If a Medium asari stands in a 2‐meter-wide doorway, other creatures can't get through unless the asari lets them.
A creature's space also re ects the area it needs to ght effectively. For that reason, there's a limit to the number of creatures that can surround another creature in combat. Assuming
Medium combatants, eight creatures can t in a 2-meter radius around another one.
Because larger creatures take up more space, fewer of them can surround a creature. If ve Large creatures crowd around a Medium or smaller one, there's little room for anyone else.
In contrast, as many as twenty Medium creatures can surround a Gargantuan one.
Squeezing into a Smaller Space

A creature can squeeze through a space that is large enough for a creature one size smaller than it. Thus, a Large creature can squeeze through a passage that's only 2 meters wide.
While squeezing through a space, a creature must spend 1 extra meter for every meter it moves there, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity saving throws. Attack rolls
against the creature have advantage while it's in the smaller space.
Actions in Combat change

When you take your action on your turn, you can take one of the actions presented here, an action you gained from your class or a special feature, or an action that you improvise.
Many monsters have action options of their own in their stat blocks.
When you describe an action not detailed elsewhere in the rules, the GM tells you whether that action is possible and what kind of roll you need to make, if any, to determine success
or failure.
Attack
The most common action to take in combat is the Attack action, whether you are swinging a sword, ring a gun, or brawling with your sts.
With this action, you make one melee or ranged attack. See the "Making an Attack" section for the rules that govern attacks.
Certain features, such as the Extra Attack feature of the soldier, allow you to make more than one attack with this action.
Cast a Spell
Spellcasters such as engineers and adepts have access to biotics or tech powers and can use them to great effect in combat. Each spell has a casting time, which speci es whether
the caster must use an action, a reaction, minutes, or even hours to cast the spell. Casting a spell is, therefore, not necessarily an action. Most spells do have a casting time of 1
action, so a spellcaster often uses his or her action in combat to cast such a spell.
Dash
When you take the Dash action, you gain extra movement for the current turn. The increase equals your speed, after applying any modi ers. With a speed of 10 meters, for example,
you can move up to 20 meters on your turn if you dash.
Any increase or decrease to your speed changes this additional movement by the same amount. If your speed of 10 meters is reduced to 6 meters, for instance, you can move up to
12 meters this turn if you dash.
Disengage change
If you take the Disengage action, your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn. In Mass Effect 5e, the Disengage action can also kick off your shield
regeneration, detailed later.
Dodge change
When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker,
and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage. You lose this bene t if you are incapacitated or if your speed drops to 0.
The Dodge action can also jumpstart shield regeneration.
Help
You can lend your aid to another creature in the completion of a task. When you take the Help action, the creature you aid gains advantage on the next ability check it makes to
perform the task you are helping with, provided that it makes the check before the start of your next turn.
Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 2 meters of you. You feint, distract the target, or in some other way team up to make your ally's attack more
effective. If your ally attacks the target before your next turn, the rst attack roll is made with advantage.
Hide change
When you take the Hide action, you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check in an attempt to hide, following the rules for hiding.
If you succeed, you gain certain bene ts, as described in the "Unseen Attackers and Targets" section later.
Hiding is the third possible way to jumpstart your shield regeneration.
Ready
Sometimes you want to get the jump on a foe or wait for a particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you can take the Ready action on your turn, which lets you act using your
reaction before the start of your next turn.
First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in response to that trigger, or you choose to move up to your speed
in response to it. Examples include "If the Blue Suns grunt steps on the conveyor belt, I'll push the button that starts it," and "If the rachni steps next to me, I move away."
When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right after the trigger nishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that you can take only one reaction per round.
When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1
action, and holding onto the spell's magic requires concentration. If your concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking effect. For example, if you are concentrating on
the singularity spell and ready lance, your singularity spell end, and if you take damage before you release lance with your reaction, your concentration might be broken.
Reload new
All guns have a heat property which indicates the number of times it can be red before the thermal clip must be exchanged. When you take the Reload Action, you expend a Thermal
Clip from your inventory and insert it into the weapon you're currently holding, returning the weapon's heat to its maximum value.
Variant: Rapid Reload

At the start of your turn, if you are holding only a single weapon, you may use a Bonus Action to attempt a Rapid Reload. Make a DC 15 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. On a
success, you reload the weapon you're currently holding and may continue your turn as normal. On a failure, you must take the Reload action this turn. On a critical failure, the thermal
clip drops from your hand, your weapon is not reloaded, and you lose your Action.
Why is this a variant rule? Although there are class features and weapon mods that allow you to reload as a bonus action, this variant rule gives all classes a potential chance to
reload as a bonus action. In turn, this increases the number of potential rolls per combat, which can be cumbersome and distracting. It's up to the GM and players to decide if this rule
is right for their group.
Search
When you take the Search action, you devote your attention to nding something. Depending on the nature of your search, the GM might have you make a Wisdom (Perception) check
or an Intelligence (Investigation) check.
Use an Object
You normally interact with an object while doing something else, such as when you draw your weapon as part of an attack. When an object requires your action for its use (such as
throwing a grenade), you take the Use an Object action. This action is also useful when you want to interact with more than one object on your turn.
Making an Attack
Whether you're striking with a melee weapon, ring a weapon at range, or making an attack roll as part of a spell, an attack has a simple structure.
1. Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack's range: a creature, an object, or a location.
2. Determine modi ers. The GM determines whether the target has cover and whether you have advantage or disadvantage against the target. In addition, spells, special abilities,
and other effects can apply penalties or bonuses to your attack roll.
3. Resolve the attack. You make the attack roll. On a hit, you roll damage, unless the particular attack has rules that specify otherwise. Some attacks cause special effects in
addition to or instead of damage.
If there's ever any question whether something you're doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you're making an attack roll, you're making an attack.
Attack Rolls
When you make an attack, your attack roll determines whether the attack hits or misses. To make an attack roll, roll a d20 and add the appropriate modi ers. If the total of the roll plus
modi ers equals or exceeds the target's Armor Class (AC), the attack hits. The AC of a character is determined at character creation, whereas the AC of a monster is in its stat block.
Modi ers to the Roll

When a character makes an attack roll, the two most common modi ers to the roll are an ability modi er and the character's pro ciency bonus. When a monster makes an attack roll,
it uses whatever modi er is provided in its stat block.
_Ability Modi er. The ability modi er used for a melee weapon attack is Strength, and the ability modi er used for a ranged weapon attack is Dexterity. Weapons that have the nesse,
thrown, or recoil property break this rule. Some spells also require an attack roll. The ability modi er used for a spell attack depends on the spellcasting ability of the spellcaster.
Pro ciency Bonus. You add your pro ciency bonus to your attack roll when you attack using a weapon with which you have pro ciency, as well as when you attack with a spell.
Rolling 1 or 20
Sometimes lady luck blesses or curses a combatant, causing the novice to hit and the veteran to miss.
If the d20 roll for an attack is a 20, the attack hits regardless of any modi ers or the target's AC. This is called a critical hit, which is explained later in this chapter.
If the d20 roll for an attack is a 1, the attack misses regardless of any modi ers or the target's AC.
Unseen Attackers and Targets

Combatants often try to escape their foes' notice by hiding, casting tactical cloak, or lurking in darkness.
When you attack a target that you can't see, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. This is true whether you're guessing the target's location or you're targeting a creature you can
hear but not see. If the target isn't in the location you targeted, you automatically miss, but the GM typically just says that the attack missed, not whether you guessed the target's
location correctly.
When a creature can't see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it. If you are hidden - -both unseen and unheard - when you make an attack, you give away your location
when the attack hits or misses.
Ranged Attacks
When you make a ranged attack, you re a gun or otherwise send projectiles to strike a foe at a distance. A monster might shoot spines from its tail. Many spells also involve making
a ranged attack.
Range
You can make ranged attacks only against targets within a speci ed range.
If a ranged attack, such as one made with a spell, has a single range, you can't attack a target beyond this range.
Some ranged attacks, such as those made with a gun, have two ranges. The smaller number is the normal range, and the larger number is the long range. Your attack roll has
disadvantage when your target is beyond normal range, and you can't attack a target beyond the long range.
Ranged Attacks in Close Combat

Aiming a ranged attack is more di cult when a foe is next to you. When you make a ranged attack with a weapon, a spell, or some other means, you have disadvantage on the attack
roll if you are within 2 meters of a hostile creature who can see you and who isn't incapacitated.
Melee Attacks
Used in hand-to-hand combat, a melee attack allows you to attack a foe within your reach. A melee attack typically uses a handheld weapon such as a sword, a warhammer, or an
omni-tool. A typical monster makes a melee attack when it strikes with its claws, horns, teeth, tentacles, or other body part. A few spells also involve making a melee attack.
Most creatures have a 2-meter reach and can thus attack targets within 2 meters of them when making a melee attack. Certain creatures (typically those larger than Medium) have
melee attacks with a greater reach than 2 meters, as noted in their descriptions.
Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use an unarmed strike: a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow (none of which count as weapons). On a
hit, an unarmed strike deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + your Strength modi er. You are pro cient with your unarmed strikes.
Gun strikes new

Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use your ranged weapon, hitting a target with the butt of the gun. On a hit, a gun strike deals bludgeoning damage
equal to 1d4 + your Strength modi er. You are pro cient with gun strikes if you are pro cient with the type of gun.
Opportunity Attacks
In a ght, everyone is constantly watching for a chance to strike an enemy who is eeing or passing by. Such a strike is called an opportunity attack.
You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach. To make the opportunity attack, you use your reaction to make one melee
attack against the provoking creature. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves your reach.
You can avoid provoking an opportunity attack by taking the Disengage action. You also don't provoke an opportunity attack when someone or something moves you without using
your movement, action, or reaction. For example, you don't provoke an opportunity attack if an explosion hurls you out of a foe's reach or if an adept lifts you off the ground with Pull.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that
you're holding in the other hand. You don't add your ability modi er to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modi er is negative.
If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.
Contests in Combat
Battle often involves pitting your prowess against that of your foe. Such a challenge is represented by a contest. This section includes the most common contests that require an
action in combat: grappling and shoving a creature. The GM can use these contests as models for improvising others.
Grappling
When you want to grab a creature or wrestle with it, you can use the Attack action to make a special melee attack, a grapple. If you're able to make multiple attacks with the Attack
action, this attack replaces one of them.
The target of your grapple must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Using at least one free hand, you try to seize the target by making a grapple
check instead of an attack roll: a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you
succeed, you subject the target to the grappled. The condition speci es the things that end it, and you can release the target whenever you like (no action required).
Escaping a Grapple. A grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength
(Athletics) check.
Moving a Grappled Creature. When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than
you.
Shoving a Creature
Using the Attack action, you can make a special melee attack to shove a creature, either to knock it prone or push it away from you. If you're able to make multiple attacks with the
Attack action, this attack replaces one of them.
The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of making an attack roll, you make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the
target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the contest, you either knock the target prone or push it 2 meters away
from you.
Cover change
Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more di cult to harm. A target can bene t from cover only when an attack or other
effect originates on the opposite side of the cover.
There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees aren't added together. For example, if a
target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover.
Half Cover
A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a
large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.
Three-quarters Cover
A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has three-quarters cover if about three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The
obstacle might be a doorway, a large crate, or a thick tree trunk.
Total Cover
A target with total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it
is completely concealed by an obstacle.
Variant: Additional Cover Rules new

Size
Size matters. If the target is one size larger than the creature providing cover, the target has no cover. If the target is one size smaller than the creature providing cover, the target has
three-quarters cover.
High Ground
Flying enemies or creatures on high ground are able to shoot over cover depending on the type of cover provided
Friendly Fire
Don't hit your friends! If the creature providing cover is friendly and the attacking creature misses, the attack has a 50% chance to hit the friendly target. Roll a die and if the result is
odd the attack hits, even the attack misses both creatures. Or you can use the friendly creature's AC to decide if the attack hits or misses.
Damage and Healing
Injury and the risk of death are constant companions of those who explore fantasy gaming worlds. The thrust of a sword, a well-placed bullet, or a blast of ame from an incinerate
spell all have the potential to damage, or even kill, the hardiest of creatures.
Hit Points
Hit points represent a combination of physical and mental durability, the will to live, and luck. Creatures with more hit points are more di cult to kill. Those with fewer hit points are
more fragile.
A creature's current hit points (usually just called hit points) can be any number from the creature's hit point maximum down to 0. This number changes frequently as a creature takes
damage or receives healing.
Whenever a creature takes damage, that damage is subtracted from its hit points. The loss of hit points has no effect on a creature's capabilities until the creature drops to 0 hit
points.
Shield Points. Creatures wearing armor also bene t from shield points described below.
Damage Rolls
Each weapon, spell, and harmful monster ability speci es the damage it deals. You roll the damage die or dice, add any modi ers, and apply the damage to your target. Weapons,
special abilities, and other factors can grant a bonus to damage. With a penalty, it is possible to deal 0 damage, but never negative damage.
When attacking with a weapon, you add your ability modi er - the same modi er used for the attack roll - to the damage. A spell tells you which dice to roll for damage and whether to
add any modi ers.
If a spell or other effect deals damage to more than one target at the same time, roll the damage once for all of them. For example, when an adept casts vortex or an engineer casts
amethrower, the spell's damage is rolled once for all creatures caught in the blast.
Critical Hits
When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack's damage against the target. Roll all of the attack's damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any
relevant modi ers as normal. To speed up play, you can roll all the damage dice at once.
For example, if you score a critical hit with a monomolecular blade, roll 2d10 for the damage, rather than 1d10, and then add your relevant ability modi er. If the attack involves other
damage dice, such as from the in ltrator's Sneak Attack feature, you roll those dice twice as well.
Damage Types change

Different attacks, damaging spells, and other harmful effects deal different types of damage. Damage types have no rules of their own, but other rules, such as damage resistance,
rely on the types.
The damage types follow, with examples to help a GM assign a damage type to a new effect.
Damage Types
Acid
The corrosive spray of a chemical and the dissolving enzymes secreted by thresher maw spit deal damage.
Bludgeoning
Blunt force attacks - hammers, falling, constriction, and the like - deal bludgeoning damage.
Cold
The painful chill from a cryo beam breath deal cold damage.
Fire
Many tech spells use plasma and ames to deal re damage
Force
One of the primary biotic damage types. Mass effect elds that pummel, pierce, or apply pressure deal force damage.
Lightning
Shock damage. Any damage done by an electrical discharge or source. Deals double damage to shields.
Necrotic
The second biotic damage type. Necrotic damage uses dark energy and mass effect elds on a subatomic level.
Piercing
Puncturing and impaling attacks, including bullets and monsters' bites, deal piercing damage.
Poison
Venomous stings, poisoned blades, and the toxic gas deal poison damage.
Psychic
A shock to the nervous system, rather than fear or mental damage. But the latter is possible.
Radiant
Radiation or damage on a nuclear level, rather than divine light.
Slashing
Swords, axes, and monsters' claws deal slashing damage.
Thunder
Shockwaves and explosions. Thunder damage is primarily caused by grenades.
Damage Resistance and Vulnerability

Some creatures and objects are exceedingly di cult or unusually easy to hurt with certain types of damage.
If a creature or an object has resistance to a damage type, damage of that type is halved against it. If a creature or an object has vulnerability to a damage type, damage of that type is
doubled against it.
Resistance and then vulnerability are applied after all other modi ers to damage. For example, a creature has resistance to bludgeoning damage and is hit by an attack that deals 25
bludgeoning damage. The creature is also within a tech aura that reduces all damage by 5. The 25 damage is rst reduced by 5 and then halved, so the creature takes 10 damage.
Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if a creature has resistance to force damage as well as
resistance to biotic damage, the damage of a biotic force damage is reduced by half against the creature, not reduced by three-quarters.
Healing
Unless it results in death, damage isn't permanent. Even death is reversible through experimental cloning. Rest can restore a creature's hit points, and medical methods such as a
medi-gel or rst aid spell can remove damage in an instant.
When a creature receives healing of any kind, hit points regained are added to its current hit points. A creature's hit points can't exceed its hit point maximum, so any hit points
regained in excess of this number are lost. For example, an engineer grants a sentinel 8 hit points of healing. If the sentinel has 14 current hit points and has a hit point maximum of
20, the sentinel regains 6 hit points from the engineer, not 8.
A creature that has died can't regain hit points.
Dropping to 0 Hit Points

When you drop to 0 hit points, you either die outright or fall unconscious, as explained in the following sections.
Instant Death
Massive damage can kill you instantly. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points and there is damage remaining, you die if the remaining damage equals or exceeds your hit point
maximum.
For example, a solider with a maximum of 12 hit points currently has 6 hit points. If she takes 18 damage from an attack, she is reduced to 0 hit points, but 12 damage remains.
Because the remaining damage equals her hit point maximum, the soldier dies.
Falling Unconscious
If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and fails to kill you, you fall unconscious. This unconsciousness ends if you regain any hit points.
Death Saving Throws

Whenever you start your turn with 0 hit points, you must make a special saving throw, called a death saving throw, to determine whether you creep closer to death or hang onto life.
Unlike other saving throws, this one isn't tied to any ability score. You are in the hands of fate now, aided only by spells and features that improve your chances of succeeding on a
saving throw.
Roll a d20. If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed. Otherwise, you fail. A success or failure has no effect by itself. On your third success, you become stable (see below). On your third
failure, you die. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until you collect three of a kind. The number of both is reset to zero when you regain any
hit points or become stable.
Rolling 1 or 20. When you make a death saving throw and roll a 1 on the d20, it counts as two failures. If you roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 hit point.
Damage at 0 Hit Points. If you take any damage while you have 0 hit points, you suffer a death saving throw failure. If the damage is from a critical hit, you suffer two failures instead.
If the damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum, you suffer instant death.
Stabilizing a Creature
The best way to save a creature with 0 hit points is to heal it. If healing is unavailable, the creature can at least be stabilized so that it isn't killed by a failed death saving throw.
You can use your action to administer rst aid to an unconscious creature and attempt to stabilize it, which requires a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check.
A stable creature doesn't make death saving throws, even though it has 0 hit points, but it does remain unconscious. The creature stops being stable, and must start making death
saving throws again, if it takes any damage. A stable creature that isn't healed regains 1 hit point after 1d4 hours.
Monsters and Death

Most GMs have a monster die the instant it drops to 0 hit points, rather than having it fall unconscious and make death saving throws.
Mighty villains and special nonplayer characters are common exceptions; the GM might have them fall unconscious and follow the same rules as player characters.
Knocking a Creature Out

Sometimes an attacker wants to incapacitate a foe, rather than deal a killing blow. When an attacker reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, the attacker can knock the
creature out. The attacker can make this choice the instant the damage is dealt. The creature falls unconscious and is stable.
Temporary Hit Points

Some spells and special abilities confer temporary hit points to a creature. Temporary hit points aren't actual hit points; they are a buffer against damage, a pool of hit points that
protect you from injury.
When you have temporary hit points and take damage, the temporary hit points are lost rst, and any leftover damage carries over to your normal hit points. For example, if you have 5
temporary hit points and take 7 damage, you lose the temporary hit points and then take 2 damage.
Because temporary hit points are separate from your actual hit points, they can exceed your hit point maximum. A character can, therefore, be at full hit points and receive temporary
hit points.
Healing can't restore temporary hit points, and they can't be added together. If you have temporary hit points and receive more of them, you decide whether to keep the ones you have
or to gain the new ones. For example, if a drug grants you 12 temporary hit points when you already have 10, you can have 12 or 10, not 22.
If you have 0 hit points, receiving temporary hit points doesn't restore you to consciousness or stabilize you. They can still absorb damage directed at you while you're in that state, but
only true healing can save you.
Unless a feature that grants you temporary hit points has a duration, they last until they're depleted or you nish a long rest.
Shields new
Kinetic barriers, colloquially called "shields", provide protection against most mass accelerator weapons. Whether on a starship or a soldier's suit of armor, the basic principle remains
the same. Kinetic barriers are repulsive mass effect elds projected from tiny emitters. These shields safely de ect small objects traveling at rapid velocities. This affords protection
from bullets and other dangerous projectiles but still allows the user to sit down without knocking away their chair. The shielding afforded by kinetic barriers does not protect against
extremes of temperature, toxins, or radiation.
Shield Points
Shield points are a special type of regenerating hit points that protect your from fast-moving projectiles and provide advantage in certain situations against some tech and biotic
powers.
Shield devices
All armor chest pieces come standard with 5 shield points and a regen of 5. However, more advanced mods and armor sets can provide additional shields. Additionally, personal
shield generators are available which can provide shields without the operative equipping armor.
Damage
If you have at least 1 shield point when you take damage, the is applied it is subtracted from your shield points rst, then from your hit points. Some abilities "bypass" your shield
points. In these instances, you subtract damage from your hit points leaving your shield points unchanged.
Melee Weapons
All damage resulting from a melee weapon attacks bypass shield points.
Shield Regeneration
Your armor's shield points are managed by the onboard VI, which is taxed during combat as it manages other systems: your omni-tool or biotic implant, HUD, etc. Thus, once a threat
is properly neutralized, or you are able to temporarily remove yourself from the fray, your VI can route power back into your shields for immediate regeneration.
Out of combat
Your shield points regenerate completely on a short or long rest or when combat has ended for at least 1 minute.
In combat
To attempt to regenerate your shields during combat, you must attempt to remove yourself from the chaos, meeting one of the following conditions on your turn:
Take the Hide action

Take the Dodge action
Take the Disengage action
Have full cover at the end of your turn
Then, if you take no damage until the start of your next turn, your shields begin to regenerate and you gain shield points equal to your armor's regen stat. You continue to gain shield
points equal to your regen stat at the start of each of your turns. If you take damage or you reach your maximum shield point capacity, the regeneration ends.
SHIELD REGENERATION EXAMPLE
Todd is playing human vanguard name Todd who has invested heavily in his armor's shields, giving him 20 shield points with a regen of 10. Todd rushes into a Reaper
hoard of marauders who unleash a volley of bullets at him, bringing his shields to 4. On his turn, Todd thinks better of his actions and decides to take the Dodge action,
ducking behind a crate.
Some marauders lose sight of Todd, others attempt to hit him again, but are unsuccessful. At the start of Todd's turn, he has taken no damage since the end of his last
 turn and his shields begin to regenerate, immediately gaining 10 shield points. Todd now has 14 shield points total. Todd takes his turn as he normally would.
An adept spots Todd and hits him with a Warp spell. This bypasses Todd's shields and deals 13 necrotic damage. But it does not end his shield regeneration. If this
damage had been from an Assault Ri e or an Incinerate spell, Todd's shield regeneration would have ended.
On Todd's next turn, he gains another 10 shield points, putting him back to his maximum capacity of 20 and the regeneration ends.
Lightning Damage
All shields are vulnerable to lightning damage. In the event that a lighting attack removes all shield points, the following steps outline how to divvy up the damage:
1. Double the lightning damage done to the target.

2. Subtract the shield points from the total damage.
3. Reduce the remaining damage by half
4. Apply the new amount to the target's hit points.
Spellcasting
What is a Spell? change
There isn't any traditional fantasy "magic" in Mass Effect 5e but there are super-powered abilities, advanced technology, and fantastic items. Mass Effect 5e retains the word "spell" as
a catch-all to describe special powers that are available to the game's classes.
Spells can be versatile tools, weapons, or protective wards. They can deal damage or undo it, impose or remove conditions, drain life energy away, and restore health to the injured.
What is a Spell? new
Spell Types
Mass Effect divided spells into 3 distinct categories:
Biotics
Biotics is the ability of some lifeforms to create mass effect elds using element zero nodules embedded in body tissues. These powers are accessed and augmented by using bio-
amps. Biotic individuals can knock enemies over from a distance, lift them into the air, generate gravitational vortices to tear obstacles or enemies apart, or create protective barriers.
Biotic spells are available for Adepts, Sentinels, and Vanguards.
Tech
Tech spells rely on the character's omni-tool: a multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tool as well as a computer used for a variety of civilian and battle eld tasks, such as
hacking, decryption, or repair. Higher-end omni-tools are equipped by Engineers, Sentinels, and In ltrators to make use of their tech talents and powers. When activated, an omni-tool
can appear over either of a person's forearms and/or hands, and occasionally both, as an orange hologram.
Combat Powers
Combat spells rely on gadgets, physical devices, special equipment or even overriding safety protocols on armor or weapons. Combat powers have no casting cost, as they are
generally instantiated by some sort of gadget or device. Instead of a casting cost, combat powers recharge on a short or long rest.
Spell Level change
Spell Level
Every spell has a level from 0 to 5. A spell's level is a general indicator of how powerful it is, with the lowly (but still impressive) lance at 1st level and the earth-shaking Storm at 4th.
Cantrips - simple but powerful spells that characters can cast almost by rote - are level 0. The higher a spell's level, the higher level a spellcaster must be to use that spell. All combat
powers are considered cantrips.
Spell level and character level don't correspond directly. Typically, a character has to be at least 17th level, not 5th level, to cast a 5th-level spell.
Combat Cantrips new

Combat powers are a special type of cantrip, that are more powerful than biotic cantrips. Combat powers have limitations in the number of times you can use them per short and long
rest. Certain classes (in ltrators and vanguards) have the option of learning combat powers instead of cantrips, as indicated in their class descriptions.
Many Combat spells have an action cost of Attack. This means you must use the Attack combat action to cast the spell. If a spell or effect prevents you from taking the Attack action,
you cannot cast the spell.
Learning Spells change
Known Spells
Biotics rely on physical mnemonics and a biotic implant to harness the power of mass effect elds. Learning the mnemonics takes years of practice. Once mastered, biotic users can
learn new varieties of controlling the elds. As biotic characters progress in levels, they learn knew varieties of biotic spells or can augment the power or utility of an existing one. In
any case, once a biotic user learns a spell, it is always at their disposal.
Prepared Spells
Tech powers utilize technological assistance and micro-fabricators that are built into the operative's omni-tool. Unlike biotic users, tech users can program new spells and powers into
their omni-tool like loading software onto a computer. However, the mental load required to access these powers in the heat of combat takes a superior intellect. More programs
cause more confusion, and without the mental training and years of practice, tech users are limited in the number of spells they can bring into combat. This limit increases as tech
users level, detailed in the class's description.
Advancing Spells new

The class progression tables indicate when a class learns a new spell. In Mass Effect 5e, characters can choose to augment a spell they've already learned rather than learning a new
one. You may only have one advancement of a spell at a time.
Spell Slots change
Regardless of how many biotic spells knows or prepares, he or she can cast only a limited number of spells before resting. Manipulating the gravitational forces into even a simple
spell is physically and mentally taxing, and higher-level spells are even more so. Thus, each biotic class's description includes a table showing how many spell slots of each spell level
a character can use at each character level.
When a character casts a spell, he or she expends a slot of that spell's level or higher, effectively " lling" a slot with the spell. You can think of a spell slot as a groove of a certain size -
small for a 1st-level slot, larger for a spell of higher level. A 1st-level spell ts into a slot of any size, but a 4th-level spell ts only in a 4th-level slot. So when an adept casts lance, a 1st-
level spell, he or she spends one 1st-level slot.
Finishing a long rest restores any expended spell slots.
Casting at a Higher Level

When a spellcaster casts a spell using a slot that is of a higher level than the spell, the spell assumes the higher level for that casting. For instance, if an operative casts lance using
one of their 2nd-level slots, that lance is 2nd level.
Effectively, the spell expands to ll the slot it is put into.
Some spells, such as lance and rst ait, have more powerful effects when cast at a higher level, as detailed in a spell's description.
Tech Points new

In Mass Effect 5e, certain classes can use tech points to cast spells. Tech points represent the internal power of the operative's omni-tool. As the operative levels, the gain more tech
points, representing the time they spend modifying their omni-tool and optimizing subroutines.
When a character casts a spell with tech points, he or she expends, at minimum, one tech point per spell's level: 1 tech point for 1st-level, 2 tech points for 2nd level, etc. You can think
of a tech point as a 1st-level spell slot that can be added to other tech points to create a spell slot of a higher level. The number of tech points you can spend on a spell is limited by
your class's level, indicated in the class's progression table.
Finishing a long rest restores any expended tech points.
Casting a Spell change
When a character casts any spell, the same basic rules are followed, regardless of the character's class, the type of spell, or the spell's effects.
Each spell description begins with a block of information, including the spell's name, casting time, range, and duration. Level and load are provided for biotic and tech spells,
respectively.
The rest of a spell entry describes the spell's effect.
Casting Time
Most spells require a single action to cast, but some spells require a bonus action, a reaction, or even longer to cast. Combat spells can require an Attack action to cast.
Bonus Action
A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
Reactions
Some spells can be cast as reactions. These spells take a fraction of a second to bring about and are cast in response to some event. If a spell can be cast as a reaction, the spell
description tells you exactly when you can do so.
Attack action
Many Combat spells have an action cost of Attack. This means you must use the Attack combat action to cast the spell. If a spell or effect prevents you from taking the Attack action,
you cannot cast the spell.
Longer Casting Times

Certain spells require more time to cast: minutes or even hours. When you cast a spell with a casting time longer than a single action or reaction, you must spend your action each
turn casting the spell, and you must maintain your concentration while you do so. If your concentration is broken, the spell fails, but you don't expend a spell slot or spend tech points.
If you want to try casting the spell again, you must start over.
Range
The target of a spell must be within the spell's range. For a spell like lance, the target is a creature. For a spell like havoc strike, the target is the point in space where your character
lands emitting a violent shockwave.
Most spells have ranges expressed in meters. Some spells can target only a creature (including you) that you touch. Other spells, such as the forti cation spell, affect only you. These
spells have a range of self.
Spells that create cones or lines of effect that originate from you also have a range of self, indicating that the origin point of the spell's effect must be you.
Once a spell is cast, its effects aren't limited by its range, unless the spell's description says otherwise.
Components change
In Mass Effect 5e, all spells are Somatic, meaning they require some amount of gesturing. To cast any of the spell types a caster must have free use of at least one hand to perform
these gestures.
There are no other spell components (such as verbal or material, as in D&D).
Duration
A spell's duration is the length of time the spell persists. A duration can be expressed in rounds, minutes, hours, or even years. Some spells specify that their effects last until the
spells are dispelled or destroyed.
Instantaneous
Many spells are instantaneous. The spell harms, heals, creates, or alters a creature or an object in a way that can't be dispelled, because its effect exists only for an instant.
Concentration
Some spells require you to maintain concentration in order to keep the effect going. This is the case with many biotics. If you lose concentration, such a spell ends.
If a spell must be maintained with concentration, that fact appears in its Duration entry, and the spell speci es how long you can concentrate on it. You can end concentration at any
time (no action required).
Normal activity, such as moving and attacking, doesn't interfere with concentration. The following factors can break concentration:
Casting another spell that requires concentration. You lose concentration on a spell if you cast another spell that requires concentration. You can't concentrate on two spells at
once.
Taking damage. Whenever you take damage while you are concentrating on a spell, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration. The DC equals 10
or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher. If you take damage from multiple sources, such as a bullet and an engineer's salvo, you make a separate saving throw
for each source of damage.
Being incapacitated or killed. You lose concentration on a spell if you are incapacitated or if you die.
The GM might also decide that certain environmental phenomena, such as getting sucked out of an airlock, require you to succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw to
maintain concentration on a spell.
Targets
A typical spell requires you to pick one or more targets to be affected by the spell's magic. A spell's description tells you whether the spell targets creatures, objects, or a point of origin
for an area of effect (described below).
A Clear Path to the Target

To target something, you must have a clear path to it, so it can't be behind total cover. If you place an area of effect at a point that you can't see and an obstruction, such as a wall, is
between you and that point, the point of origin comes into being on the near side of that obstruction.
Targeting Yourself
If a spell targets a creature of your choice, you can choose yourself, unless the creature must be hostile or speci cally a creature other than you. If you are in the area of effect of a
spell you cast, you can target yourself. Areas of Effect Spells such as singularity and snap freeze cover an area, allowing them to affect multiple creatures at once.
Areas of Effect
Spells such as singularity and snap freeze cover an area, allowing them to affect multiple creatures at once. A spell's description speci es its area of effect, which typically has one of
ve different shapes: cone, cube, cylinder, line, or sphere. Every area of effect has a point of origin, a location from which the spell's energy erupts. The rules for each shape specify
how you position its point of origin. Typically, a point of origin is a point in space, but some spells have an area whose origin is a creature or an object.
A spell's effect expands in straight lines from the point of origin. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of origin to a location within the area of effect, that location isn't
included in the spell's area. To block one of these imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover.
Cone
A cone extends in a direction you choose from its point of origin. A cone's width at a given point along its length is equal to that point's distance from the point of origin. A cone's area
of effect speci es its maximum length.
A cone's point of origin is not included in the cone's area of effect, unless you decide otherwise.
Cube
You select a cube's point of origin, which lies anywhere on a face of the cubic effect. The cube's size is expressed as the length of each side.
A cube's point of origin is not included in the cube's area of effect, unless you decide otherwise.
Cylinder
A cylinder's point of origin is the center of a circle of a particular radius, as given in the spell description. The circle must either be on the ground or at the height of the spell effect. The
energy in a cylinder expands in straight lines from the point of origin to the perimeter of the circle, forming the base of the cylinder. The spell's effect then shoots up from the base or
down from the top, to a distance equal to the height of the cylinder.
A cylinder's point of origin is included in the cylinder's area of effect.
Line
A line extends from its point of origin in a straight path up to its length and covers an area de ned by its width.
A line's point of origin is not included in the line's area of effect, unless you decide otherwise.
Sphere
You select a sphere's point of origin, and the sphere extends outward from that point. The sphere's size is expressed as a radius in feet that extends from the point.
A sphere's point of origin is included in the sphere's area of effect.
Saving Throws
Many spells specify that a target can make a saving throw to avoid some or all of a spell's effects. The spell speci es the ability that the target uses for the save and what happens on
a success or failure.
The DC to resist one of your spells equals 8 + your spellcasting ability modi er + your pro ciency bonus + any special modi ers.
Attack Rolls
Some spells require the caster to make an attack roll to determine whether the spell effect hits the intended target. Your attack bonus with a spell attack equals your spellcasting
ability modi er + your pro ciency bonus.
Most spells that require attack rolls involve ranged attacks. Remember that you have disadvantage on a ranged attack roll if you are within 2 meters of a hostile creature that can see
you and that isn't incapacitated.
Casting in Armor
Because of the mental focus and precise gestures required for spellcasting, you must be pro cient with the armor you are wearing to cast a spell. You are otherwise too distracted
and physically hampered by your armor for spellcasting.
Primers and Detonators new
Primers and Detonators add a combo-based mechanic to combat. However, they can also add an unwanted level of complexity as tracking which creatures are primed at any given
moment can become cumbersome. Therefore you may forego this rule and ignore any mention of the Primed condition or detonation effects.
Some spells and attacks cause the target to become primed as indicated in its spell text. Some spells can detonate primed targets. These spells are marked so on their spell cards.
When a primed target is hit with a detonating spell or attack the primed condition ends and the detonation causes an explosive effect outlined in the Primed Condition below.
There are ve primed types: Force, Necrotic, Fire, Cold, or Lightning each with its own unique detonating effect.
A creature can suffer from multiple primed types simultaneously as long as each type is different. When detonated, all explosions happen at once centered on the location of the
primed target. The GM decides which effects happen in which order.
Primed Condition
When a primed creature is hit with a spell or ability that detonates, the primed condition explodes, resulting in one of the following effect. After resolving the effect, the primed
condition ends.
Primed Type Explosion
Force The primed target takes 2d6 force damage, is knocked back 6m and becomes prone.
The primed target takes 1d12 necrotic damage and must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or becomes stunned until the end
Necrotic
of its next turn.
Each creature within a 4m radius, including the primed target, catch re, taking 1d6 re damage. Each creature continues to burn for 1
Fire
minute, taking 1d6 re damage at the start of its turn. A creature that is on re can use its action put out the re.
Each creature within a 4m radius, including the primed target, must pass a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save a creature is
Cold
frozen until the end of its next turn.
Lightning Each creature within a 4m radius, including the primed target, takes 3d4 lightning damage.
Monsters
Overview
A monster's statistics, sometimes referred to as its stat block, provide the essential information that you need to run the monster. The majority of this section is unchanged from the
rules in 5th Edition. You can read the o cial rules about monsters in a number of places:
SRD (p. 254) (downloadable)

D&D Beyond (electronic)
Monster Types change
There aren't enough spells and powers to justify making bonuses like "double damage to beast". In addition, many of the 5th Edition monster types don't make sense in the sci-
setting (celestials, undead, fey, elemental, etc.). Instead, there are only three monster types: Organic, Synthetic, and Synthorganic.
Getting Monsters
Mass Effect 5e Bestiary

There is a growing collection of unique Mass Effect monsters in the Bestiary, but you might be at a loss when it comes to nding the perfect creature for part of a mission. Feel free to
tweak an existing creature to make it into something more useful for you, perhaps by borrowing a trait or two from a different monster or by creating your own!
Using 5th Edition Monsters

You can also include any of the monsters from 5th Edition core rulebooks in any of your campaigns. However, some may require "re-skinning," meaning you alter the monster's stat
block, replacing 5th edition spells with biotics or tech, or re-conceptualize the animal into some newly-discovered alien.

chaotic, Matrons level out to neutral, Matriarchs are heavily lawful.
Size
Asari have builds incredibly similar to female humans. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Innate Biotics
Asari do not require biotic implants to control their abilities. Instead, their biotic talents rely on their ability to project their will onto
the world. As an Asari, you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma
modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a biotic spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Choose a class: Adept or Vanguard. You learn two cantrips of your choice from that class’s spell list. In addition, choose one 1st-
level spell from that same list. You learn that spell and can cast it at its lowest level. Once you cast it, you must nish a long rest
before you can cast it again.

Ardat-Yakshi
A rare genetic condition in asari that affects about 1% of the population and is more common in "purebloods" (2 asari parents). The
condition is impossible to identify until the asari reaches maturity, by which time it is too late to correct. When diagnosed, the ardat-
yakshi is given a choice to live in isolation or to be executed. This is because ardat-yakshi develop an addiction to the power and feel
intense compulsion to meld. The addition only grows stronger with each meld, and so a life of monastic celibacy allows asari to leave
in peace with a controllable desire. Those who are able to avoid isolation and execution, however, quickly become psychopathic in their
intense lust for the destructive melding.
Variant Traits
If you would like to play an ardat-yakshi, you can choose to replace the Alignment and Mind Meld traits with the following. Additionally,
you gain the Dominate trait at 10th level.

Mind Break. You can touch a willing creature and initiate a mind meld. If the target is unwilling, the meld does not continue. The
creature must make a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Charisma modi er) or be rendered unconscious for
1d4 hours as your nervous system overwhelms theirs. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you nish a long rest.
Dominate. At 10th level, you learn the Dominate spell. Charisma is your spellcasting modi er for this spell and it does not count against
your max number spells known or prepared. You can cast a 3rd-level version of this spell once per long rest.

Engineer
is already d12, add +1 for each die rolled instead.
Your extra attack features grants you 1 additional attack the rst time you take the Attack action
Soldier
on your turn.
Increase your sneak attack die type to d8 (if you are a Shadow In ltrator, your sneak attack for
In ltrator
melee weapons attacks is a d10).
Repair Matrix
As a construct, you cannot be healed by medi-gel or spells that heal organic creatures (such as the rst aid spell).
Instead, you can use your Action to expend a Hit Die. Roll the die and add your Constitution modi er to it. You regain hit points equal
to the total. You also regain all spent hit dice at the end of a long rest, instead of the usual amount.

No Feats
Geth cannot take any feats.

Unshackled AI
An Arti cial Intelligence (AI) is a self-aware computing system capable of learning and
independent decision making. Creation of a conscious AI requires adaptive code, a slow,
expensive education, and a specialized quantum computer called a "blue box". While most AI
are "shackled" to the con nes of networked computer tra c and lack a body, occasionally, an
AI is placed into a synthetic form, unshackling it.
AIs are considered illegal by the Council, but that hasn't stopped corporations like Cerberus
from innovating. As an unshackled AI, you might be have been mass produced like the Alliance
In ltration Units, or you may be an experiment gone wrong.
Playing an Unshackled AI
Unshackled AIs are entirely unique. Since you are synthetic, you gain some of the synthetic
traits as listed in the Geth description. However, your mind, purpose, history, alignment, height,
weight, and personality are entirely your own. Technically, you can take any form you wish
(work with your GM to decide if this new form gains any additional traits). However, because AI
are illegal, most unshackled AI would have a humanoid form, allowing them to blend into
society.
Variant Traits
If you would like to play an Unshackled AI, you can choose to replace the Ability Score
Increase, Alignment, Hunter Mode, and No Feats traits with the following.
Ability Score Increase. +1 Intelligence and +1 ability that is not Intelligence.

between 1 and 2 meters from the ground. You are immune to becoming prone and you ignore any penalties caused by di cult
terrain.
However, when you suffer a critical hit, you must roll a d20. On a 1 or a 2, the device malfunctions and you fall to the ground. Your
walking speed becomes 0 and you are considered prone. You or another creature can use an Action to repair the pack with a
successful DC 15 Intelligence (Engineering) check.
Bioluminescence
You can shed dim light in a 10m radius.
Fragile
Your hit point maximum is decreased by 1. Every time you gain a level you gain 1 less hit point.
Tentacles
You have six tentacles instead of arms that can grip tightly but can't lift anything heavier than a few kilograms, meaning you can only
wield weapons with the light property.
As an action, you can use one of your tentacles to try to grapple a creature. Each one is also a natural weapon, which you can use to
make an unarmed strike. If you hit with it, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modi er, instead of the
bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Immediately after hitting, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action.
As an action, you can secrete a natural toxin from one of your tentacles. If a creature is grappled by the tentacle, it must succeed a
DC 11 Constitution saving throw of becomes poisoned for 1 hour. The DC of this saving throw increases with your level: DC 13 at the
5th level, DC 15 at the 11th level, and DC 17 at the 17th level.

concentrate on it for 1 minute, you learn a few basic facts about it. You gain a mental image from the object or creature's point of
view, learning of any events that have occurred within 10 meters of the object or creature within the past 24 hours. If in contact with
an object, you see the last creature to hold the object, regardless of how long ago it was last handled. This ability may only be used
once per long rest.

Awakened Collector
image courtesy of JTickner
The Collectors are an enigmatic race that live beyond the Omega 4 Relay, a mass relay within
the same system as Omega, in the Terminus Systems. They are rarely seen in the Terminus
itself, let alone Citadel space, and are generally regarded as a myth by Citadel citizens. De nite
sightings of Collectors have been made on Omega every few centuries.
Collectors are former Protheans that have been completely subjugated by their Reaper
masters. Their DNA shows signs of "extensive genetic rewrite" including three fewer
chromosomes, reduced heterochromatin structure, and the elimination of super uous "junk"
sequences.
When the Reaper-killer known as Leviathan fought the Collectors, it severed their connection to
Harbinger with a thrall device. Most Collector forces died as a result, but a few survived. Now,
these rare individuals ght for the memory of their people, a proud race broken by the Reapers.

Quarians have builds similar to humans. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Hermetic Suit
Your suit is your lifeblood and consists of a reinforced, skin-tight body suit and a helmet. It makes your immune to disease and

Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the adept spell list. You learn additional adept cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips column of
the Adept table.
Instead of learning a new cantrip, you may instead learn the advanced version of a cantrip you already know.
Spell Slots
The Adept table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these adept spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you nish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell lance and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast lance using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the adept spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Adept table shows when you learn more adept spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For
instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the adept spells you know and learn an advanced version of it. You select one of the advancement options
listed in the spell description. Whenever you cast the spell, you cast the advanced version of it. You can only learn one advancement for each spell.
Adepts have an L5x biotic implant which requires conscious control over their nervous system. As an Adept, you use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a biotic spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Wisdom modi er
Spell attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your Wisdom modi er

barrier ticks gained in excess of this number are lost.
Whenever you take damage while barrier is active, remove 1 barrier tick and reduce the damage by 1d8.
Barrier lasts 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or have no barrier ticks remaining. You can also end barrier at any time as a free action.
Once you have used barrier the maximum number of times for your Adept, Sentinel, or Vanguard level (whichever is highest), you must nish a short rest before you can use it

Preparing and casting spells
The Engineer table shows how many tech points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these engineer spells, you must expend a number of tech points
equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended tech points when you nish a long rest.
You are limited in the number of tech points you can spend to power a spell as indicated in the Tech Point Limit column of the Engineer table.
For example, a 9th-level engineer can cast spells for 1, 2, or 3 tech points.

Intelligence modi er + your engineer level (minimum of one spell).

seven regular spells

one advanced spell and ve regular spells,

Spellcasting
The In ltrator table shows how many tech points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these in ltrator spells, you must expend a number of tech
points equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended tech points when you nish a long rest.

Intelligence modi er + half your in ltrator level (minimum of one spell).
You may prepare the advanced version of a spell for the cost of 2 regular versions. You may only prepare one advanced version for each spell.

Spellcasting
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the sentinel spell list. You learn additional sentinel cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips column of the
Sentinel table.
Spell Slots
The Sentinel table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your sentinel
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you nish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell lance, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.

At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the sentinel spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Sentinel table shows when you learn more sentinel spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher
than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 5th level, for example, you learn a new sentinel spell, which can be 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sentinel spells you know and learn an advanced version of it. You select one of the advancement options
Sentinels use a unique L5t biotic implant that integrates with the operative's omni-tool maximizes their innate talents. As a sentinel you choose your spellcasting modi er from
Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom.
Choosing Charisma means that your operative has immense willpower and uses it to overcome the mental strain of casting biotic spells and interfacing with their omni-tool.
They use their innate talent to maximize the potency of their spells.
Choosing Intelligence means that your operative takes advantage of their omni-tool, using it to assist in the casting of biotic spells. Their keen intellect helps them choose
strategic targets to maximize the potency of their spells.
Choosing Wisdom means that your operative has unmatched concentration and can use the physical mnemonics of their biotic implant to cast tech spells with their omni-tool.
Their patience and insight maximizes the potency of their spells.
You use your selected ability whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your selected ability's modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you
cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your selected ability modi er
Spell attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your selected ability modi er
Tech Armor
You've bolstered your armor with a powerful, defense-oriented AI. As a bonus action or as a reaction to taking damage, activate your Tech Armor.
When activated, tech armor creates a new kinetic barrier with additional hit points equal to the sum of your sentinel level and spellcasting modi er, multiplied by 2. When you have
tech armor hit points and take damage, the tech armor hit points are lost rst, and any leftover damage carries over to your shields and/or normal hit points. Tech armor lasts 1
minute or until it has 0 hit points remaining.
While tech armor is active, you can use your action to overload it. Each creature within 4m must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes force damage
equal to the remaining hit points of your tech armor, or half as much on a successful one.
You can use Tech Armor twice between long rests.

BASTION
Bastion sentinels are battle eld leaders. They can easily turn the tides by calling out orders, inspiring troops, and synchronizing troop movements.
Tactical Focus
At 3rd level, your tactical acumen and predictive VI algorithms allow you to provide direction to your allies that can tilt a battle in your favor.
As a bonus action, you can select an area within 30m on the ground that measures 6m on each side. This area is your tactical focus. It remains your tactical focus until you use this ability
again or you become incapacitated.

Each time you complete a long rest, you can swap one of your tactics for a different one.
Tactics
Advance. Update your allies' HUDs and outline optimal routes to your tactical focus. If an ally spends all of its movement moving towards your tactical focus, it doubles its movement,
ignores di cult terrain, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Analysis. Focus all of your attention on the movements and capabilities of a single enemy. When you choose this tactic, you additionally choose a single hostile creature within your tactical
focus. Beginning when you set your tactical focus and at the beginning of each of your subsequent turns, the DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to one of
the following characteristics of your choice: One ability score (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Charisma, or Wisdom), Armor Class, or Current hit points
Clear the area. Pick out weak spots on your targets that force them out of your tactical focus. If an ally hit s a creature in your tactical focus with a weapon attack, the ally can move that
creature 2m.
Heads up. If an allied creature in your tactical focus must make a Dexterity saving throw it has advantage on that saving throw.
Pin down. When a hostile creature attempts to move out of your tactical focus, two target creatures of your choice can use a reaction to make an attack of opportunity on the target. If both
attacks are successful, the creature's movement becomes 0, it falls prone and remains in your tactical focus.
Recon. Your VI focuses on the movement of dust and augments sound from your area of focus, reconstructing a perfect image on your and your allies' HUD. Any creature within your
tactical focus loses any bene ts from being invisible, lightly obscured, or heavily obscured.
Master Tactician
At 3rd level, you can use the Help action as a bonus action. Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 20m of

Ever Ready
By 7th level, you've learned to never let your guard down. You have advantage on initiative rolls.

Whenever a hostile creature makes an attack roll or saving throw, it rolls 1d6 and subtracts the result to its attack roll or saving throw.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modi er (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you nish a long rest.
Tactical Focus Range

At 10th level, your tactical focus increases to 10m per side.

immediately take actions.

JUGGERNAUT
Juggernauts are living tanks and nearly impossible to take down. Their tech armor upgrades make sure they can take a hit, or one hundred, without so much as a scratch.
Assault Armor
Starting at 3rd level, your Tech Armor is rigged for keeping the action on you. When you activate tech armor, you project a distracting holographic image (your choice) and each hostile
creature within 20m that can see you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + pro ciency bonus + spellcasting modi er). On a failure, a creature is compelled to attack you while your
Tech Armor is active. A creature that is compelled to attack you always targets you when it makes a weapon or spell attack.
Each time a creature that is compelled to attack you takes damage from a source other than you, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the
creature is no longer compelled to attack you and is immune to Assault Armor for the next 24 hours.
Synthetic creatures have advantage on the Wisdom saving throw.

a successful save.
Tech Aura

Weapon of Choice
By 3rd level, you have undergone extensive training with a single weapon type. Choose a weapon type which becomes your Weapon of Choice. When you are holding your Weapon of Choice
you gain a set of abilities that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice. You may spend 1 month of intensive training to exchange your Weapon of Choice with another weapon type.
Superiority Dice: You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you nish a short or long

making the attack roll, but before any of the effects of the attack are applied.
When you damage a creature with a weapon attack from your Weapon of Choice, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the damage roll. You can use this ability after rolling
damage. If the attack causes the target to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration, it has disadvantage on that save.

falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn. While you have 0 hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death saving throw
failures as normal, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you. When the extra turn ends, you fall unconscious if you still have 0 hit points.

Spellcasting
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the vanguard spell list. You learn additional vanguard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips
column of the Vanguard table.
Instead of learning a new cantrip, you may instead learn the advanced version of a cantrip you already know.
Spell Slots
The Vanguard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these vanguard spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s
level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you nish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell lance and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast lance using either slot.

Starting at 2nd level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the vanguard spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Vanguard table shows when you learn more vanguard spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For instance, when you reach 9th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you learn a new spell, you may instead choose one of the vanguard spells you know and learn an advanced version of it. You select one of the advancement
options listed in the spell description. Whenever you cast the spell, you cast the advanced version of it. You can only learn one advancement for each spell.
Vanguards are out tted with the L5n biotic implant which draws upon their inner strength of will and focus on their physical mnemonics. As a vanguard, you use your Wisdom
whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a biotic spell you cast and when making an
attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Wisdom modi er
Spell attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your Wisdom modi er

Biotic Maneuvers
At 3rd level, you learn three maneuvers that are fueled by your barrier ticks. You can use only one maneuver per attack. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw
to resist the maneuver effects. The saving throw DC is 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your spellcasting ability modi er.
Name Maneuver
When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can expend one barrier tick to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it’s

object you choose. The object lands at its feet.
When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can expend one barrier tick to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. You add the

attack's damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target up to 8m
Attack
away from you.
When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one barrier tick to make a melee attack against the
Riposte
creature. If you hit, you add the barrier tick to the attack's damage roll.
When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can expend one barrier tick to attempt to damage another creature with the same attack. Choose

another creature within 2m of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes force

damage equal to the number you roll on your barrier tick.

attack’s damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target prone.

At 3rd level, you learn the charge cantrip. If you have already learned it, you may learn a new cantrip instead.
The distance of charge is now 20m. When you use your action to cast charge, you may use a bonus action to shove or make one weapon attack against the target. You gain +5 to the
attack’s damage roll or shove the target 6m. To shove a target this way, it must be no more than one size larger than you.

any effects caused by charge before the creature takes its action. The creature may choose to make a different action this turn.
NEMESIS
Nemesis vanguards prefer distance and using biotic powers. While they lack the raw power of an adept, they're more crafty and harder to take down.
Biotic Recovery
At 3rd level, you have learned to regain some of your biotic energy by meditating and calming your mind. Once per day when you nish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to
recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than a third of your vanguard level (minimum 1), and none of the slots can be 3rd level or higher.

four rst-level spell slots.

Spell
the casting of the spell.
Heightened When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 3 barrier ticks to give one target of the
Spell spell disadvantage on its rst saving throw made against the spell.
Quickened When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 barrier ticks to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this
Spell casting.
When you cast a spell that doesn't have a range of self and is incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level, you can
Twinned
spend a number of barrier ticks equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 barrier tick if the spell is a

Feature: What Doesn't Kill You. You were the subject of experimentation in your youth, with the goal of stripping away the old you and turning you into a weapon. The program could have
been funded by your race's government, a shadow organization, or a single mad scientist who kidnapped you. It could have had the goal of turning you into the ultimate soldier, perhaps an
unrivaled biotic, or even a genius tech engineer.
Regardless of the program's nature or success, you survived your di cult trials and came out tougher for it. You've been pushed to the edge of death before, so it doesn't scare you. Once
per long rest, you can choose to make a death saving throw with advantage due to your strong drive to survive.

hired mercenaries and are supportive of their faction's efforts.
Faction Agents are shaped by their experience in the line of duty. The beliefs, laws, and practices of their faction can affect their mannerisms and ideals. Their aws might be some hidden
hypocrisy that counteracts the tenets of their faction. For example, a Shadow Broker Agent that secretly wants transparency of information. Or they might have an ideal or bond that is taken

When you use the Dash action during your turn, you can make a melee attack with your headbutt as a bonus action.
Enhanced Optics
Your optic nerves have been enhanced by science to perceive more.
Gain darkvision.
You now gain pro ciency in Perception, Investigation, and Insight. If you are already pro cient in any of these, gain expertise instead.
Featherlight
Travel light, travel fast.
Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

If you are wearing all light armor (or no armor) and have only one weapon equipped, your speed increases by 4m and you avoid triggering any pressure-activated traps or mines.
Grace Under Fire

While others may lose their cool in the face of sustaining a wound, you've learned how to use that burst of pain and stress to move faster. You gain the following bene ts and features:
Increase your Dexterity or Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Immediately after you receive damage from an enemy attack, you may use your reaction to move up to half your movement without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Grenadier
+2 grenade capacity
Improvised Grenades. You can make grenades from scrap metal and scavenged materials. Acquire 1 frag grenade every long rest.
When you use a grenade, you may choose to make a ranged weapon attack on a creature instead of choosing a target location. Add your dexterity or strength modi er (your choice) and
pro ciency bonus to the attack roll. On a hit, the grenade deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + dexterity or strength modi er (same as used to make the ranged attack). The target also
has disadvantage on the saving throw caused by the grenade. The grenade lands at the target's location. On a miss, the grenade lands 2m beyond the target. On a critical miss, roll 2d4. The
rst die represents the number of spaces away from the target in which the grenade lands. The second die represents the direction (1 = North, 2= East, 3 = South, 4 = West). E.g., 2 & 2, the
grenade would land 2 spaces east of the target. Once the grenade's location is determined, it resolves normally.
Hair-Trigger
You've mastered Double Tap weapons.
Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

When wielding only one Double Tap weapon, you may make a second ranged attack on the same target as your rst ranged attack as a free action. You may do this once per turn.
When you use your bonus action to make a ranged attack with a Double Tap weapon, you add your ability modi er to the damage roll.
Nerves of Steel
Traveling the galaxy has exposed you to violence and cruelty, been deceived and seen almost every trick in the book. Not much can make you inch anymore. You gain the following bene ts
and features:
You have advantage on all saving throws made to resist becoming charmed, frightened, and stunned.
While charmed, frightened, or stunned, you can use a bonus action on your turn to repeat the saving throw to end the effect. This saving throw is not made with advantage.
Squad Leader
You know just what to say in a tight situation.
As a bonus action, you can inspire all allies within earshot to instantly roll a hit die and regain that many hit points. This does not expend a hit die from their pool. Allies immediately recover
from the following conditions: {charmed}, {frightened}, {incapacitated}, {paralyzed}, {poisoned}, {prone}, {restrained}, and {stunned}. You may use this ability once per long rest.
Warlord's Blood Rage

Your blood rage is exceptionally deadly, rivaling those of the krogan warlords in Tuchanka. You gain the following bene ts while using your Blood Rage trait:
Once per turn when you roll damage for a melee weapon attack, you can reroll the weapon’s damage dice and use either total.
As a bonus action, you can move up to your speed toward an enemy of your choice that you can see or hear. You must end this move closer to the enemy than you started.
When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one additional damage dice and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
Wealth of Knowledge
Your grasp of random factoids knows no bounds.
Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Description
The Gunship is driven by vectored-thrust engines. First rolled off the assembly lines in
2170, the Mantis remains in service in dozens of armies across the galaxy. Its
modular construction means that the versatile Mantis can be recon gured as a low-
altitude gunship, a ghter, a high-altitude bomber, or even a single-stage-to-orbit
spaceplane that can engage enemy craft around a planet or a space station. The only
role the Mantis cannot perform is that of a true deep-space ghter, as it has no FTL
drive.
This vehicle statblock represents the most basic model of the A-61. But it can carry a
number of weapons load-outs. When used in ground-attack roles it is most
commonly armed with two sets of two forward-facing missile bays over each wing,
normally armed with Inferno PKRs (Precision Kill Rockets), and a pair of belly-
mounted M350 mass-accelerator autocannons.

Conditions
Blinded
A blinded creature can't see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.
Charmed
A charmed creature can't attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful abilities or magical effects.
The charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the creature.
Deafened
A deafened creature can't hear and automatically fails any ability check that requires hearing.
Exhaustion
Some special abilities and environmental hazards, such as starvation and the long-term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion.
Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as speci ed in the effect's description.
Level Effect
1 Disadvantage on ability checks
2 Speed halved
3 Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws
4 Hit point maximum halved
5 Speed reduced to 0
6 Death
If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount speci ed in the effect's description.
A creature suffers the effect of its current level of exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering level 2 exhaustion has its speed halved and has disadvantage on
ability checks.
An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as speci ed in the effect's description, with all exhaustion effects ending if a creature's exhaustion level is reduced below 1. Finishing a
long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink.
Frightened
A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight.
The creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear.
Frozen
A frozen creature is incapacitated and can't move or speak.
The creature is primed (cold). Any detonating attack ends the lifted condition after resolving the detonation effect.
The creature automatically fails Dexterity saving throws. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Grappled
A grappled creature's speed becomes 0, and it can't bene t from any bonus to its speed.
The condition ends if the grappler is incapacitated.
The condition also ends if an effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the grappler or grappling effect, such as when a creature is hurled away by the throw spell.
Incapacitated
An incapacitated creature can't take actions or reactions.
Indoctrinated
Inspired by Stephen W.
If your campaign is set during any part of the Reaper invasion, it's likely you'll need some indoctrination effects. While we encourage you to riff on these ideas or make up your own, here is a
baseline for using indoctrination in your campaign.
Spending time in the presence of a creature or object that can cause indoctrination (namely, Reaper technology) can lead to a special condition called indoctrination. Indoctrination is
measured in six levels. For each 24 hour period a creature spends within the presence of an indoctrinating source, the creature must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save,
the creature suffers one level of indoctrination. If an already indoctrinated creature spends another 24 hour period within the presence of Reaper technology, the DC of the saving throw
increases as described below.
Level Next Wisdom DC Effect
You have di culty sleeping and constantly have dreams of inky black and oily shadows. To gain the bene ts of a long rest takes

skill checks.
3 16 You have extreme paranoia. You have disadvantage on all of your Wisdom- and Intelligence-based skill checks.
Level Next Wisdom DC Effect
You begin to hear voices that issue simple commands. If you do not immediately follow the command, you take 11 (2d10)
4 18
psychic damage. This damage bypasses shields.
5 20 The voices in your head speak to you often and you begin to agree with what they're saying. You are considered charmed.
6 - You become a Reaper thrall and lose all control of your character (You are effectively dead).
Reducing Indoctrination Levels

Every long rest that a creature spends outside of the range of an indoctrinating source, it can make a new Wisdom saving throw (DC based on its current indoctrination level). On a success,
reduce its indoctrination level by 1.
Note: Synthetic creatures are immune to indoctrination.
Reaper Tech
Usually, indoctrination happens when another creature (such as a reaper, thorian, or leviathan) is actively trying to indoctrinate one or many creatures. An exception to this is Reaper
technology (i.e., reaper parts or devices salvaged from battle or space). Reaper technology can passively indoctrinate creatures that are merely in the technology's presence. Determining if
a creature is within the presence of a piece of Reaper technology is based on the technology's size. The larger the object, the farther the range.
Distance of Indoctrination
Size of tech Range
Tiny 10 meters
Small 25 meters
Medium 100 meters
Large 1 kilometer (~ 1/2 a mile)
Huge 10 kilometers (~ 6 miles)
Gargantuan 100 kilometers (~ 60 miles)
Invisible
An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of gadgets or a special sense. For the purpose of hiding, the creature is heavily obscured. The creature's location can be
detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves.
Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage, and the creature's attack rolls have advantage.
Lifted
A lifted creature is restrained.
The creature is primed (force). Any detonating attack ends the lifted condition after resolving the detonation effect.
Any lifted object has no mass and is dangled in the air by a temporary mass effect eld. Thus, a lifted creature can be pushed, pulled, or otherwise manipulated for varying results.
Paralyzed
A paralyzed creature is incapacitated and can't move or speak.
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.
Poisoned
A poisoned creature has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.
Primed
When a primed creature is hit with a spell or ability that detonates, the primed condition explodes, resulting in one of the following effect. After resolving the effect, the primed condition
ends.
Primed Type Explosion
Force The primed target takes 2d6 force damage, is knocked back 6m and becomes prone.
The primed target takes 1d12 necrotic damage and must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or becomes stunned until the end of its

taking 1d6 re damage at the start of its turn. A creature that is on re can use its action put out the re.
Each creature within a 4m radius, including the primed target, must pass a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save a creature is frozen until
Cold
the end of its next turn.
Lightning Each creature within a 4m radius, including the primed target, takes 3d4 lightning damage.
Prone
A prone creature's only movement option is to crawl, unless it stands up and thereby ends the condition.
The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls.
An attack roll against the creature has advantage if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature. Otherwise, the attack roll has disadvantage.
Restrained
A restrained creature's speed becomes 0, and it can't bene t from any bonus to its speed.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.
The creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
Stunned
A stunned creature is incapacitated, can't move, and can speak only falteringly.
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Targeting
A targeting creature's speed is reduced by half.
The creature automatically fails Dexterity saving throws. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Targeting ends if one of the following occurs:
The creature ends the condition as a reaction, which the creature takes when it sees another creature make an attack or cast a spell.
When the creature gains full or three-quarter cover
When the creature is knocked prone, lifted, or incapacitated.
Unconscious
An unconscious creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can't move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings
The creature drops whatever it's holding and falls prone.
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.
Skills
Acrobatics Dexterity
Your Dexterity (Acrobatics) check covers your attempt to stay on your feet in a tricky situation, such as when you're trying to run across a sheet of ice, balance on a tightrope, or stay upright
on a rocking spaceship's deck. The GM might also call for a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to see if you can perform acrobatic stunts, including dives, rolls, somersaults, and ips.
Athletics Strength
Your Strength (Athletics) check covers di cult situations you encounter while climbing, Jumping, or swimming.
Deception Charisma
Your Charisma (Deception) check determines whether you can convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your actions. This deception can encompass everything from
misleading others through ambiguity to telling outright lies. Typical situations include trying to fast-talk a guard, con a merchant, earn money through gambling, pass yourself off in a
disguise, dull someone's suspicions with false assurances, or maintain a straight face while telling a blatant lie.
Electronics Intelligence
Your Intelligence (Electronics) check covers attempts to hack or interface with computer systems, such as when you're trying to open locked doors and containers, turn off cameras,
override controls, etc.
Engineering Intelligence
Your Intelligence (Engineering) check covers your knowledge of machines and mechanical devices. It most cases it determines your ability to repair devices. But you might also use it to
spot weaknesses in mechanical defense systems, spot potential vehicle failures before they happen, or nd expensive parts in space salvage.
History Intelligence
Your Intelligence (History) check measures your ability to recall lore about historical events, legendary people, ancient or alien races and their cultures or customs, past disputes, recent
wars, and lost civilizations.
Insight Wisdom
Your Wisdom (Insight) check decides whether you can determine the true intentions of a creature, such as when searching out a lie or predicting someone's next move. Doing so involves
gleaning clues from body Language, Speech habits, and changes in mannerisms.
Intimidation Charisma
When you attempt to in uence someone through overt threats, hostile actions, and physical violence, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma (Intimidation) check. Examples include
trying to pry information out of a prisoner, convincing street thugs to back down from a confrontation, or using the edge of a broken bottle to convince a sneering vizier to reconsider a
decision.
Investigation Intelligence
When you look around for clues and make deductions based on those clues, you make an Intelligence (Investigation) check. You might deduce the location of a hidden object, discern from
the appearance of a wound what kind of weapon dealt it, or determine the weakest point in a tunnel that could cause it to collapse. Poring through ancient scrolls in Search of a hidden
fragment of knowledge might also call for an Intelligence (Investigation) check.
Medicine Wisdom
A Wisdom (Medicine) check lets you try to stabilize a dying companion, diagnose an illness, or understand the biology of an organism.
Perception Wisdom
Your Wisdom (Perception) check lets you spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of something. It measures your general awareness of your surroundings and the keenness of your
senses. For example, you might try to hear a conversation through a closed door, eavesdrop under an open window, or hear Monsters moving stealthily in the forest. Or you might try to spot
things that are obscured or easy to miss, whether they are orcs lying in ambush on a road, thugs hiding in the shadows of an alley, or candlelight under a closed secret door.
Performance Charisma
Your Charisma (Performance) check determines how well you can delight an audience with music, dance, acting, storytelling, or some other form of entertainment.
Persuasion Charisma
When you attempt to in uence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma (Persuasion) check. Typically, you use
persuasion when acting in good faith, to foster friendships, make cordial requests, or exhibit proper etiquette. Examples of persuading others include convincing a chamberlain to let your
party see the king, negotiating peace between warring tribes, or inspiring a crowd of townsfolk.
Science Intelligence
Your Intelligence (Science) check measures your ability to make useful connections and correlations based on the wealth of knowledge that can be found on the exonet. In a sense, it
measures your 'scienti c mindset'. A GM might ask for a check when encountering unknown ora or fauna, assessing the geology of an alien world, or analyzing natural or unnatural
phenomena.
Sleight of Hand Dexterity

Whenever you attempt an act of legerdemain or manual trickery, such as planting something on someone else or concealing an object on your person, make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand)
check. The GM might also call for a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to determine whether you can lift a coin purse off another person or slip something out of another person's pocket.
Stealth Dexterity
Make a Dexterity (Stealth) check when you attempt to conceal yourself from enemies, slink past guards, slip away without being noticed, or sneak up on someone without being seen or
heard.
Survival Wisdom
The GM might ask you to make a Wisdom (Survival) check to survive in uncivilized alien words, especially harsh environments like tundra, deserts, or jungles. The check might help you
navigate a blizzard, nd food in a wasteland, or avoid getting eaten by a Thresher Maw.
Vehicle Handling Dexterity

If you're driving a vehicle you're familiar with, the GM might ask you to make a Dexterity (Vehicle) check to make a di cult maneuver or avoid heavy weapon re, crash land, or weave
between tra c. However, if you are unfamiliar with a vehicle, the GM would require a Wisdom (Vehicle Handling) check to see if you can pilot the vehicle at all.

Features
Spellcasting
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the sentinel spell list. You learn additional sentinel cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips column of the
Sentinel table.
Spell Slots for Biotics
The Sentinel table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your biotic
sentinel spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you nish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell lance, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.
The Sentinel table shows how many tech points you have to cast your tech spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a number of tech points
equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended tech points when you nish a long rest.
At 1st level, you know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the sentinel spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Sentinel table shows when you learn more sentinel spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher
than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 5th level, for example, you learn a new sentinel spell, which can be 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sentinel spells you know and learn an advanced version of it. You select one of the advancement options
Sentinels use the L5q biotic implant and a modi ed Omni-tool. When casting Biotic spells, Wisdom is your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modi er when
setting the saving throw DC for a biotic spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. When casting Tech powers, Intelligence is your spellcasting ability. In addition, you
use your Intelligence modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a tech spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your (Wisdom or Intelligence) modi er
Spell attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your (Wisdom or Intelligence) modi er
Tech Armor
When activated, tech armor creates a new kinetic barrier with additional hit points equal to the sum of your sentinel level and spellcasting modi er, multiplied by 2. When you have
tech armor hit points and take damage, the tech armor hit points are lost rst, and any leftover damage carries over to your shields and/or normal hit points. Tech armor lasts 1
minute or until it has 0 hit points remaining.
While tech armor is active, you can use your action to overload it. Each creature within 4m must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes force damage
equal to the remaining hit points of your tech armor, or half as much on a successful one.

At 20th level, you can draw power from the depths of exhaustion. If you spend one minute calming your mind or recalibrating your armor you can regain all of your expended spell
slots or all spent uses of your tech armor. Once you use this feature, you must nish a long rest before you can do so again.
Creating Armor
Though we provide a list of armor mods and sets, we encourage you to create your own!
Nomenclature
Mechanic
The aspect that affects the gameplay. A mod or armor set can have one or more mechanics.
Mod
An item, containing one or more mechanics, that can be installed when creating custom armor.
Set
One or more pieces of armor that must be worn together and provide mechanics when worn. Mechanics contained within sets are meant to be integrated, and not salvageable from
the armor. In addition, armor sets are not intended to be upgraded with other mods.
Creating a Mechanic
A 'mechanic' is a combination of a rule exception/addition, a potency, and a cost per potency level. Below you'll nd a list of mechanics used in this system.
Rule exception/addition
The rst step is deciding what you want your mechanic to do, e.g. add health, shields, or damage; provide advantage on saving throws, etc.
We strongly recommend that you do not make new mechanics that increase the combat effectiveness of ranged weapons. These mechanics should be reserved for
 weapon mods.
Potency
Next, decide how the mechanic's potency will stack. For example, increased shield points have 5 points per potency. So, an Armor Mod with +10 shield points would have a potency of
2. Armor Mods should never have a potency higher than 3. Keep this in mind when guring out the lowest potency amount.
Cost
Figuring out the cost is mostly guesswork. Low-cost mechanics have minor combat applications, such as additional carrying capacity or minor speed boosts. These range from 1,000
to 5,000 credits. Mods that increase survivability (shields, AC, resistances) or damage should range between 5,000 and 20,000 credits

Creating an Armor Mod
Creating a custom armor mod simply requires combining a slot (head, chest, arms, or legs), one or more mechanics, and a potency for each mechanic. Each potency is 2.5 times
more expensive than it's previous level. If you have a potency of 1, the nal cost equals the value in the Cost column. If you have a potency of 2, the nal cost equals the value in the
Cost column times 2.5. If you have a potency of 3, the nal cost equals the value in the Cost column times 5.
Example: +10 shields, +1 AC

1. Slot = Chest
2. Mechanic 1 = +10 sheilds (potency 2)
3. Cost 1 = 10,000 * 2.5 = 25,000
4. Mechanic 2 = +5 sheild regen (potency 1)
5. Cost 2 = 8,000
6. Mechanic 2 = +3 AC (potency 3)
7. Cost 2 = 20,000 * 5 = 100,000
8. Mod Cost = 133,000
When creating new mods, be mindful that their bene ts can stack. You wouldn't want to create a +3 AC armor mod for the head, chest, arms, and legs — this would result
 in a player being able to attain +12 AC.
Creating Armor Sets
An armor set can be one or many pieces of armor. Armor sets are cheaper than creating custom armor, even though they may be more powerful. The justi cation is that an armor set
is mass manufactured, so you get more bene ts at the expense of not being able to customize the armor with additional mods.
First, decide the type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) and which pieces it will contain. Then nd the base cost by using the costs de ned in the creating armor table. Next, decide
what mechanics (and their potency) you want to add to the armor. Calculate the total cost of all your mechanics, add it to the base cost of your armor piece.
Next, you can decide if there are bene ts for wearing multiple pieces of the armor. Bene ts can be mechanics (with a potency) or a unique mechanic. Calculate the total of the of all
set bonuses and distribute that total evenly across the armor pieces.
Finally, with all costs calculated, reduce the total amount of each armor piece by 15%.
Example:
1. Set Piece 1 = Medium Body Armor = 16,000 (Chest = 10,000, Arms = 3,000, Legs = 3,000)
2. Set Piece 1 Mechanics = AC +2 (as a mod, this costs 50,000)
3. Set Piece 1 Subtotal = 66,000
1. Set Piece 2 = Medium Head = 5,000
2. Set Piece 2 Mechanics = Darkvision, toggled as a free action (as a mod, 3,000, slight increase for free action)
3. Set Piece 2 Subtotal = 8,000
1. Set Bonus (2 of 2): +10 Shields (as a mod, 25,000)

2. Divide set bonus by number of pieces: 12,500
3. Set Piece 1 Total = 12,500 + 66,000 - ((12,500 + 66,000) * 0.15) = 66,725
4. Set Piece 1 Total = 12,500 + 8,000 - ((12,500 + 8,000) * 0.15) = 17,425
 When creating armor sets, the cost is just a rule of thumb. If an armor set seems too expensive or cheap, raise or lower the cost to your needs.
