Introduction and important information The goal of this document is to provide an interpretation of the German “State of the Art: ADL” sourcebook

for Shadowrun, Fifth Edition, allowing players and those interested not able to read German to get a

glimpse of the books contents and judge them based on issues such as balancing and context within the

game universe.

This is not going to be a full translation of this book. I am neither equipped nor qualified to give such a

translation, and any such work I would do would not be of the quality meriting this book.

The focus of my work is going to be to provide usable translations of rulings to be used in gameplay, such as

martial arts, weapons and other common gear, cyberware, magic and the like. I will give short translations,

interpretations or explanations to items, if I think they are necessary to understand how the item is

intended to be used. For instance, I will be giving brief context for martial arts introduced, but will likely

skip most text for weapons unless they have special rules that need explaining. I will, however, include the

many nice illustrations for the gear presented. Prices, given in Euro, are converted to Nuyen 1:1 (hitting € is

much faster for me than pasting ¥, and is also the original style). Item availability might be given as E or V as

I copy a lot of text by hand. If this is the case, please point it out to me and I will correct it. E is equivalent

Restricted, V to Forbidden. The order of items handled will be as I come across them in the book.

I will skip most fluff for the time being, although you are welcome to ask me about particular things you

might be interested and I will try to provide a translation for you and add it to this document. My

Shadowrun-mainstay on the internet are the /srg/ Shadowrun General threads on 4chans /tg/ traditional

games board. I also have a reddit account, currently only for the purposes of playing Shadowrun online, but

I will try to respond to PMs on this topic, but please don’t expect instant replies as I don’t browse reddit

aside from this. My username there is /u/terranautomae.

Martial Arts The Martial Arts section includes no new techniques. I will be using the technique names listed in SR5 Run

& Gun, beginning page 135. For rules clarifications on the effect of techniques please double-check there.

Alpine Wrestling Alpine Wrestling is an umbrella term for a few similiar martial arts from the south of Germany,

including Austria and Switzerland. The goal is, as with normal wrestling, to throw or lever your

opponent to the ground using your body strength.

Techniques: Oaken Stance (Charge Attack), Rooted Tree, Clinch, Karmic Response, Throw Person,

Imposing Stone

German Jiu-Jitsu A combat sport designed in the 1960s in Germany, mixing elements of Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Aikido and

Karate. Members of state and country police all learn it, aswell as correctional staff, customs

officers, private bodyguards and others.

Techniques: Called Shot (Disarm), Sweep, Clinch, Kick Attack, Throw Person, Defiant Dance

Esdo Esdo is a self-defense and health martial art, designed in the 1980s in Germany as european

alternative to asian martial arts and has been in development since. It is based on the idea that all

the different european peoples have different sizes and statures, and that a physically weaker

defender can win against a stronger attacker. It is popular with wage-slaves as an alternative to

Yoga or Tai-Chi.

Techniques: Oaken Stance (Knockdown), Bending the Reed, Counterstrike, Kick Attack, Stagger,

Yielding Force (Counter Strike)

Urban Brawl-Parkour This fighting style developed together with Urban Brawl and is a variation of classical parkour, to

be used in the urban warzones of Urban Brawl. It combines elements of parkour with the usage of

firearms and is commonly used by members of Urban Brawl teams aswell as their fans.

Techniques: Tricking, Monkey Climb, Close Quarter Firearms (Pistols), Close Quarter Defense

Against Firearms, Leaping Mantis, Rolling Clouds

Sternschutz Tactical A variation of Knight Errant Tactical developed after the Crash 2.0, mostly used by security forces

from Sternschutz, owned by the Frankfurt Banking Association.

counts as a short burst (SR5 p.180/181. Consider “not enough bullets” sidebox).

The Modell 75-III is a drilling (‘triplet’) and has a rifle barrel and two smoothbore (shotgun) barrels.

Firing all three barrels counts as a burst (see above).

Either way, short burst or burst fire is only possible if the same ammo is loaded in all barrels.

Magic Traditions For all the magic traditions here, I will give a short summarization on their fluff text, together with

the rules relevant things. If you need any extended information then please message me (see

Introduction at the beginning) and I will try to provide more detail or answer questions.

Armanentradition An ultraracist, druidic tradition with ties to the Thule-Society, Siegfried-Bund and the Humanis

Policlub. In the center of this tradition is a white and human masterrace, with the ‘Tribe of the

Germanics’ as leading caste. It is a mix of race teachings, classical druidism, norse paganism and

fascistic politics. The movement was founded in the 19th century by Guido List. Exclusively human,

lots of adepts honing their bodies are found in the order. Some women are found, too, but they

cannot hold any high offices. The highest offices are reserved for male full mages. Blood magic is

not frowned upon by members of this order, although not all members are blood mages.

Spirits:

Healing: Earth Illusion: Water Combat: Guardian Manipulation: Task

Detection: Guidance Drain: WIL + LOG

Dianism A lot of people confuse dianists for “some kinda witch”, and certainly there are parallels to Wicca-

traditions and other branches of witchery. Dianists, however, revere only the pagan idea of a

divine, female principality exclusively in the form of the roman deity Diana, or her greek

equivalent Artemis. A male counterpart does, according to them, exist, but is much weaker and

less important and not worthy of consideration. Feminity and fertility are important in dianistic

rituals; masculinity is seen as destructive and, so, males are never seen amongst their mids.

Sometimes, males are allowed to attend public rituals, but only if they cast off their male side for

the duration of the ritual and apologize for being male. Feminism, environmentalism and political

activism is common. Dianists live in cities and use modern technologies – they are young and

progressive, not backwards. Rituals happen in the wilderness or, should that be unavailable, can

for example be done in scene bars or male strip-clubs.

Spirits:

Healing: Air Illusion: Water Combat: Beast Manipulation: Human

Detection: Fire Drain: WIL + INT

Frisian Magic Being Frisian is a matter of culture and a feeling of belonging, less one of blood. If you claim to

have Frisian blood, nobody will ever doubt you. Frisians live with the change of the tide, an ever-

present factor in their lives. They can be found anywhere on the coast of the now toxic North Sea,

across the united Netherlands and what used to be Northern Germany, although they become less

and less. Forming a strong group that helps its members is important to Frisians, not just in terms

of the magic tradition, but in private life, too. If you betray the group – you’re out. Other than

that, they are practical yet traditional. New technology will be tested and, if useful, kept.

Traditions will be kept until they become obsolete, and then replaced by new traditions. You

should not be surprised were you to see someone carve the likeness of Baduhenna, a frisian

goddess, into some driftwood, and then invite you to a cup of synthtea afterwards.

Frisian magic combines local patriotism, close ties to the land itself, relics of what used to be with

a bit of esotericism with a pragmatic, northern german outlook on life.

Spirits:

Healing: Guidance Illusion: Air Combat: Water Manipulation: Plant

Detection: Earth Drain: WIL + LOG

Magic of Roma and Street Nomads The Sinti and Roma were one of the first Awakened peoples in then Germany, a lot of them awakening in a

danger situation under the military government of Stöckter, which did not treat the “Gypsie Mages”, as

they are sometimes disparagingly, sometimes proudly referred to. There are strong parallels to

northamerican shamanism, where the mages, often called ‘judges’ or ‘wise (wo)man’, are a sort of link

between their group and spirits, the Mulé (singular Mulo). Mulé are seen as the spirits of deceased family,

animal spirits or elemental forces and are considered vaguely dangerous. Through following countless, to

others nonsensical, rules (“Never touch your childs hair”, “never look into blue eyes”, “burn all property of

a dead Sinto”) the spirits are supposed to be kept uninterested in the group. Most practitioners of this

tradition follow a mentor spirit and common skills include alchemy, ritual magic, the creation of Foci and

tarot reading.

Spirits:

Healing: Plant Illusion: Air Combat: Guardian Manipulation: Human

Detection: Beast Drain: WIL + CHA

Svetovid/Svetoid/Svetoism Svetovid is the nature religion of the Duchy of Pomorya with origins in the pagan cults in the slavic area

along the baltics. The portmanteau of the old slavic ‘svet’ (world) and ‘vid’ (view, sight) is used

synonymously for the pomoryan nature cult. Central point of this cult is unity and wholeness of divine and

worldly matters. They believe that all of nature is full of the divine and divinity, but nature is never seen as

a person or revered as such. A pomoryan elf or human feels his beliefs and acts intuitively. Nature, as in,

life, death, magic, but social structure aswell, is seen as subject to elementary principles such as growth,

conflict, change, death and justice (often considered as balance, too). Things like biotechnology,

cybertechnology and genetech are seen as wrong and against nature, environmental pollution is regarded

as blasphemy. Technology is not per se evil, but symbiosis with natural life is very important.

Svetoid is a possession tradition; spirits are called into the body of the summoner, and any work they are

attempting to achieve, are attempted together.

Spirits:

Healing: Plant (Growth) Illusion: Human (Conflict) Combat: Earth (Death) Manipulation: Water (Change)

Detection: Guidance (Justice, Balance) Drain: WIL + CHA. Possession tradition.

Troll Shamanism Troll shamanism goes back to the Great Dragon Kaltenstein who taught this archaic form of natural magic

to a then exclusive group of trolls, long before the troll wars, who were later made to form the Troll- Thing.

Strong druidic and animalistic elements make up this tradition, although it is much older than neo-pagan

druidism. Core belief of this tradition is the existance of a soul that is shared amongst all of creation.

Generally, this is not personified or revered and the term is not used by troll shamans, but certain parallels

to a ‘Gaia’-belief cannot be denied. Spells, or adept powers, are more of a channeling of raw, primal, energy

flowing through and around every being, rather than a control of mana. This is often combined with things

like extremely loud screaming (primal scream), self-harm (primal hurt) or becoming one with an element,

which can be frightening even when just a healing spell is being cast, due to the caster being about 3

meters tall and bulky. Due to minor bloodmagical elements, Troll shamanism as represented by the Troll

Thing is seen as somewhat radical in the Great Grand Coven. Spirits are seen as aspects or facets of the

great shared soul, but generally don’t assume humanoid shapes, but more chaotic, free ones. Spirits of

distant metaplanes (insect spirits, shedim, fairy folk) and perversions of the all-soul (toxic magic) are seen

as evil, dangerous and perverted and hunted down without quarter.

Due to the individualist approach of this tradition, practitioners are rarely seen working together in groups.

Even the Troll-Thing, the highest “official” body, is only a loose association meeting randomly, usually in the

German Black Forest.

Wild Hunt

An old legend of the Wild Hunt tells of a wild, mounted hunting society of spirits who in life were sinners

and blasphemers. Now they do penance by striking down the enemies of the gods. The Wild Hunt is a dark

mentor spirit; only its self-conception of an executioner of higher powers seperates if from (toxic) concepts

like vengeance or destruction. Often seen in members of biker gangs.

Mages: +2 to tests to summon Guardian or Human Spirits.

Composure (3) or they suffer a -2 to all tests for the remainder of the scene.

Qualities

Arcology Tantrum Bonus: 10 Karma

Usually found in dwellers of Arcology-Blocks or other huge, often self-contained places. A mixture of

claustrophobia, depression, social phobia and paranoia leading to panic attacks and destructive behavior.

Whenever the character is in an Arcology (or a similar situation as definde by the Gamemaster), the

character must succeed on a Composure (3) test or suffer a -3 dice modifier to all actions. If the first test

fails, but they stay in the area, they need to succeed another Composure (2) test or immediately start

destroying nearby items, attacking other characters or themselves. The test can be repeated after certain

amounts of time pass if the character stays in the situation.

People’s SIN Bonus: 3 or 10 Karma

3 Karma Level: A normal SIN as described in the quality SINner, however it is only recognized in the Free

City of Berlin; countries other than the Allied German States don’t recognize it as valid. It does not offer the

same benefits as other SINs do outside of Berlin, although applying for a SIN issued by the AGL is easy with

one of these. On the plus side you only have to pay tax on 10% of your income and you get a free

VolksKOMM (reference to German Data Trails which I don’t have; I assume it’s a cheapo DR 1 or 2

commlink like on the list on DT p17. Will edit once I’ve seen the German book).

10 Karma Level: As above, except it’s a criminal SIN. Other states still won’t recognize it’s legal status, but

they’ll recognize that you’re a criminal. All other effects (including the free commlink) from the 3 Karma

level apply.

Neither level can be combined with the SINner quality.
