Life in the shadows has never been as dangerous, and runners need every
edge they can get. Runner’s Companion opens up a world of expanded
options for Shadowrun players with dozens of New Qualities, Advanced
Contact and Lifestyle Rules, and handy tips on running, travelling and
smuggling, and operating in a surveillance society.
This core book for Shadowrun, Fourth Edition also introduces
Metavariants, Changelings, and the Infected as player
character options, and expands the scope of the
game to include unique non-metahuman characters
such as Shapeshifters, Free Spirits, and a new
generation of AIs among others.
