Rules:Street Cred/Scaling

Street cred will come from two sources, total karma accrued and contact points (the sum of all loyalty and connection ratings of contacts the character has), according to the following tables:

Street Cred per karma Street Cred Total Karma 1 10 2 30 3 60 4 100 5 150 6 210 7 280 8 360 9 450 10 550 11 660 12 780 13 910 14 1050

Street Cred per Contacts Street Cred Contact Points 1 7 2 21 3 42 4 70 5 105 6 147 7 196 8 252 9 315 10 385 11 462 12 546 13 637 14 735

That is, every step of street cred requires 10 more karma than the last, or 7 more contact points than the last. This follows the general pattern in Shadowrun 5. As of the time of this writing, that puts Malta to 10 + 4 = 14 Street Cred, from 630 karma and 75 contact points.

In addition to taming our street cred this has the advantage of driving Street Cred off a combination of reputation and networking, and of making Contact advancement more valuable.
