lelds of Fire is a sourcebook
for mercenary characters in the
Shadowrun universe. Because the Shadowrun
game is not just about mercs or purely mercenary operations, this sourcebook focuses on how
merc characters think and """'C~~~~~~~~ behave in relation to the usual Shadowrun storyline. This sourcebook is -~~~~lf!s~ about attitude and purpose.
The Field Pack section is devoted to weapons and equipment available mainly to mercenaries, but also to the most savvy street samurai. The Rules section in the back of this book expands and clarifies certain existing combat rules and offers new optional rules.
Enjoy!
