[[Category:Actor]]
The Character Actor sheet will be the most commonly used Actor sheet and provides flexibility for a variety of character types: the [[Character Actor#Misc Tab|'''Misc Tab''']] has options to enable tabs Awakened or Emerged Characters, plus those with Critter Powers.
==Header==
The '''Header''' appears regardless of the tab selected and shows basic information about the character. All fields in this section (except the sprint bonus) are auto calculated from the character's stats and gear. 
* Change the character's <strike>mugshot</strike> '''Portrait''' by clicking on the image. Token artwork can be configured in "Prototype Token". Note that basic Foundry behavior will change the token artwork to match the portrait artwork ''if'' there is no token artwork already set.
* Enter the character's '''Name''' to the right of the image.
* The character's '''Condition Monitors''' record damage.
** A number of different {{Category|Workflow}}s can apply damage automatically, but one can manually apply or remove damage by left clicking a box on the '''Physical''' or '''Stun''' monitor.
** An '''Overflow''' monitor will appear when the Physical track is full. One can also right click anywhere on a track to clear it completely. Wound penalties will be automatically applied to appropriate Tests.
** One can perform '''Healing Tests''' by clicking on the '''Physical''' or '''Stun''' labels.
* '''Movement''' shows walking and running rates, calculated from Agility, along with a field to enter how many extra meters each hit from Sprinting provides.
* Select the character's '''Initiative''' mode &mdash; {{Code|Meatspace}}, {{Code|Matrix}}, or {{Code|Astral}} &mdash; on the right side. Initiative is automatically rolled for each Combatant at the start of each Combat Round. (Combatants introduced in the middle of a round can be rolled manually.) Activating the round checkbox will apply the Blitz Edge action and roll 5d6, though the Edge will not be deducted automatically.
* '''Edge''' can be manually spent by clicking the boxes of the tracker. Clicking the label will make an Edge Test.
* Common Attribute-Only Tests (e.g. Composure, Judge Intentions, etc.) can be prompted by clicking on the text label. One can find these action items in the General Actions compendium, should one want to use them as actions or macros.
* Defense, Armor, and Damage Resistance Tests are available in a similar fashion, plus Drain or Fade if the character is set to Awakened or Emerged on the {{Tab|Actor|Misc}}.
* The dice button in the middle will roll an ad hoc Test with arbitrary parameters.

==Skills Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-main.png|Character Actor Sheet Skills Tab|s=0.14.1|f=10.312|float=right}}
In the '''Skills Tab''' one configures a character's Attributes and Skills, and trigger basic Tests using them.
* The character's three Inherent Limits (plus Astral Limit for Awakened) show at the top. Hovering over the text shows a popup indicating where some adjustements may have come from.
* Each of the attributes shows the calculated value (hovering over the large number shows how it's calculated). Special attributes are shown to the right and slightly below. Magic or Resonance will appear for Awakened or Emerged characters (configurable on the [[Character Actor#Misc Tab|Misc Tab]]. Inherent Limits are automatically calculated from these values.
** The left field under the attribute is for the permanent value, though it may be ignored if certain Active Effects override it.
** The right field is for applying ad hoc temporary adjustments.
** Clicking on the text label will prompt for a roll.
* Active Skills and Knowledge Skills can be entered here. The sheet will be prepopulated with the standard Active Skills, while there are no Knowledge Skills by default.
** Skills can be added to any of the categories by pressign the "+ Add" button. This will prompt for a Name, a sourcebook reference, the base value of the skill, any special bonuses (though Active Effects can do that, too), and any specializations. Active Skills also include a field for primary linked attribute, while Language and Knowledge Skills infer the appropriate attribute from the category they're entered under.
** Clicking the "Active Skills" header will only show skills with rating greater than 0. 
** Clicking on the name of a skill will prompt a roll. Clicking on the name of a specialization will include the extra two dice in the roll.
** SHIFT+Click will roll without prompting for details.
** While they are not [[Embedded Item]]s, Skills have the same three buttons. Note that Delete only hides default skills, but custom skills are gone if deleted.

==Gear Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-gear.webp|Character Actor Sheet Gear Tab|s=0.30.5|f=13.348|float=right}}
The '''Gear Tab''' shows the character's {{Item|Weapon}}s, {{Item|Ammo}}, {{Item|Armor}}, {{Item|Bioware}}, {{Item|Cyberware}}, {{Item|Device}}, {{Item|Equipment}}, and {{Item|Mod}}s. These items all function as other [[Embedded Item]]s do, plus a few extra features unique to the Gear Tab.

The three <strike>seashells</strike> buttons all [[Embedded Item]]s share are joined by two or three additional buttons.
* '''{{#far:circle}}/{{#fas:check-circle}} Equip''' &mdash; The circular button controls whether an item is equipped. For many Item types, it does nothing at this time though it does interact with certain [[Active_Effect#Details_Tab|Active Effects]], depending on configuration.
** For [[Weapon Item]]s, it impacts the Reach used in Melee Defense Tests.
** For [[Armor Item]]s, in impacts Damage Resistance Tests.
** For [[Bioware Item]]s and [[Cyberware Item]]s, only equipped items impact the character's Essence rating.
** For [[Device Item]]s, only one can be activated and it affects the stats shown on the [[Character Actor#Matrix Tab|Matrix Tab]].
* '''Wireless Status''' cycles through three options: Online, Running Silent, and Offline. If the [[Item]]'s Wireless option has been set to "Unavailable", this icon will be absent.{{Issue|1553}}
* '''{{#fas:exchange-alt}} Move''' &mdash; The double-arrow button is used to assign Items to an Inventory Location as described below.

===Inventory Locations===
A character's equipment  can be divided into multiple inventory locations. New locations can be added with the "+ Add" button. This can be used to organize the Actor's possessions. One could have a category for things left in a particular vehicle, a home, or a bolthole in the Barrens. One could arrange equipment by usage such as one bundle for walking-around-town and a different one for full tactical assaults. Each item can only be assigned to one inventory location, though items assigned to "All" will appear in the list for each and every location. "All" is good for things like implants that a character will have no matter how they're kitted out or where they are.

==Magic Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-magic.png|Character Actor Sheet Magic|s=0.14.1|f=10.312|float=right}}
The '''Magic Tab''' functions much like the '''Gear Tab''', but for [[Adept Power Item|Adept Powers]], [[Spell Item|Spells]], [[Ritual Item|Rituals]], and [[Summon/Compile Item|Summoning]] [[Embedded Item]]s. It only appears for characters with "Awakened/Emerged"  on the '''Misc Tab'''set to {{Code|Awakened}}. Unlike the '''Gear Tab''', none of these item types impact the character directly &mdash; see [[Active Effect]]s for how to make things affect the character.
{{clear}}
==Critter Powers Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-critter.png|Character Actor Sheet Critter Powers Tab|s=0.14.1|f=10.312|float=right}}
If the Character is flagged as a Critter on the '''Misc Tab''', this tab appears. Any [[Critter Power Item|Critter Power]] [[Embedded Item]]s the character has appear and can be controlled from here. They have no direct effects, beyond any configured Actions or [[Active Effect]]s.
{{clear}}

==Matrix Tab==
The '''Matrix Tab''' is divided into three sections. They're described in basic terms here, but see {{Category|Matrix Workflow}}s for more details.

The top bar includes the Actor's active matrix {{Item|Device}}{{Issue|1600}} device from the  {{Tab|Actor|Gear}}, it's Rating, it's matrix visibility status (which can be clicked to toggle between Displaying Persona or Running Silent), and the '''Reboot {{#fas:power-off}}''' button.

The left column includes:
* The matrix attribute array, pulled from the active device's statistics. If the Device is configured as a cyberdeck, the attributes can be shuffled around.
* The character's network configuration, showing the network they're connected (which is also a button to select an available) and the '''Mark Network {{#fas:network-wired}}''' button.
* Three subtabs used in the various Matrix Workflows &mdash; Programs, Icons, and Owner. The Programs tab is where any [[Program Item]]s the Actor has will appear.

The right column includes the active matrix device's Condition Monitor, and a list of available Matrix Actions. If the character is Emerged{{Issue|1598}} (set on the {{Tab|Actor|Misc}}), '''Matrix Actions''' becomes a tab, alongside '''Complex Forms''' and '''Compilations''', and is home to any [[Complex Form Item]]s and sprite-configured [[Summon/Compile Item]]s the character has.

==Bio Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-bio.png|Character Actor Sheet Bio Tab|s=0.14.1|f=10.312|float=right}}
The '''Bio Tab''' features a text field for the character's description and is home to {{Item|Quality}} [[Embedded Item]]s for all Characters, {{Item|Metamagic}} for Awakened, and {{Item|Echo|s}} for Emerged.
{{clear}}
==Social Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-social.png|Character Actor Sheet Social Tab|s=0.14.1|f=10.312|float=right}}
In the '''Social Tab''', one can manage the character's [[SIN Item|SIN]], [[Lifestyle Item|Lifestyle]], and [[Contact Item|Contact]] [[Embedded Item]]s.
==Effects Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-effects.webp|Character Actor Sheet Effects Tab|f=11.315|s=0.18.4|float=right}}
The '''Effects Tab''' is where one can control a character's [[Active Effect]]s. Effects shown here are collected from those inside [[Embedded Item]]s as well as ones created here with the "+ Add" button.

It has the same control buttons as Embedded Items, plus an enable/disable checkbox like the Gear tab provides.
* Active Effects created here (i.e. character-level instead of item-level) won't have a source button.
* '''Inactive Effects''' have been turned off and won't apply any of thier adjustments to the character.
* '''Persistent Effects''' are active and thier adjustments will be applied, but have no duration configured.
* '''Temporary Effects''' are active and have a duration configured. If the Active Effect has an icon, that icon will be displayed on the Actor's canvas Tokens.
{{clear}}

==Misc Tab==
{{Imagebox|sr5-actor-misc.png|Character Actor Sheet Misc Tab|s=0.17.0|f=11.315|float=right}}
The '''Misc Tab''' collects functions that don't fit in anywhere else.
* One can access the [[Chummer Character Importer]] here.
* There are fields to record the characters' available '''Karma''', total '''Career Karma''', '''Notoriety''', '''Public Awareness''', and '''Street Cred'''. These fields are purely for display and have no mechanical impact.
* '''Awakened/Emerged''' controls the configuration of the Matrix tab (if set to "Emerged") and the visbility of the Magic tab (if "Awakened").
* '''Full Defense Attribute''' controls what attribute is added in the combat automation when Full Defense is used.
* '''Critter''' controls the visibility of the "Critter Powers" tab.
* '''NPC''' controls whether or not the "Grunt" option is available.
** If '''Grunt''' is enabled, the character has single Condition Monitor, which ever of the two is larger.
* '''Metatype''''s behavior depends on the configuration of the "NPC" option.
** If '''NPC''' is off, it has no immediate mechanical benefit.
** If '''NPC''' is on, it applies the basic metatype stat adjustments. This is useful for applying quick adjustments, assuming one enters all one's NPCs as if they were human. It does not include metavariants, nor does it apply anything except basic attribute adjustments.
* '''Restore Default Skills''' unhides any standard skills deleted from the Skills tab. Custom skills will not be restored; once they're deleted, they're gone.
* '''New Run Reset''' clears the character's Stun, Physical, and Matrix Condition monitors and restores it's Edge.
* '''Situational Modifers''' displays the modifiers set at the scene level. Clicking on any of the label in this section will bring up the [[Situational Modifiers]] dialog.
* '''Modifiers''' allows ad-hoc modification of a large number of values that affect a character in play, such as Initiative and Reach. Be aware that anything adjusted by an [[Active Effect]] cannot be modified here. The text fields may allow one to input changes, but they'll be ignored.
