This table is to make enemies for a Shadowrun-type game using the Savage Worlds (SWADE) System.
Currently Assigns Attributes due to NPC Rating instead of being random, as I couldn't figure out a proper way to add metatype bonuses otherwise.
Wildcards get leadership edges. Some edges may not be appropriate for the rank or prerequisites. This is left up to the DM to determine what is appropriate for their situation.

Berserk |
After Shaken or a Wound, all melee attacks must be Wild Attacks, +2 to Toughness, ignore one level of Wound penalties, Critical Failure on Fighting roll hits random target. Lasts until there are no foes in sight or hero makes Smarts roll at –2. |
Berserkers become wild and nearly uncontrollable when the “red rage” takes them, but they are deadly killing machines as well! Immediately after suffering a Wound or a Shaken result (from physical damage only), your hero must make a Smarts roll or go Berserk. She cannot voluntarily fail this check. Going Berserk has the following effects: FURY: Every melee attack must be a Wild Attack (see page 109). She cannot use any skills that require wit or concentration (GM’s call). She may scream out threats and use Intimidation, for example. ENRAGED: Adrenaline and rage fuel the berserker’s muscles, adding +2 to Toughness. She ignores one level of Wound penalties (this stacks with any other abilities that reduce Wound penalties). RECKLESS ABANDON: Anytime a berserker rolls a Critical Failure on a Fighting check, she hits a random target within range of her attack (not the intended target), friend or foe. If there are no applicable targets, the blow simply misses, smashes nearby objects, etc. The rage ends when there are no foes in sight or the berserk chooses—but in the latter case she must make a Smarts roll at −2 (as an action).' |

A McGyver can improvise a device from common resources when the need arises.

Failure means he can’t find the required components but can try again next round. A Critical Failure means he’s out of luck and can’t create the tool this encounter. Success creates a minor explosive (2d4 explosive in a Small Blast Template), a one shot projectile weapon like a “zip gun” (Range 5/10/20, Damage 2d6), rickety raft, electrical source, etc. A raise creates a larger explosive (2d6 in a Medium Blast Template or 2d4 in a Large), ranged weapon with a few more shots, 2d8 damage or twice the range, a more stable raft, a more powerful battery, etc. The quality or power of the creation is completely up to the Game Master, but creativity should be rewarded, particularly in the most dire and dramatic situations.' |
