Each rig includes a control point that manages permissions and activity
Digital attention is different than Physical alarm. Instead, the 1s from decking rolls are redirected into the target’s passive awareness
Modifying or implanting the physical portion of bioware requires the support of a body shop
Programs
A decker can know a number of programs = Logic x Hacking skill
Connection-type affects strength of signal
Control = Pools x3
Direct = Pools x2
Subsystem = Pools = base
Wireless = Pools = /2
Remote = Pools = /3
Programs have 2 timelines that stack:
Time to upload = active time spent by decker
Time to effect = processing time in-system after upload. Decker does not have to maintain connection
Active
1 Success = hit
Decker can sustain a number of active programs = Wit x Resonance
Active types:
Exoware & Rig
Data & Systems
Bioware
Additional successes can be spent
Doubling effect
Overcome resistances
Passive boosts
Passive
Passive programs base threshold is = Resonance x Device Rating.
Passive types:
Defense
Infiltration
Make permanent
Technomancy
Innate resonance (not bioware) = 1 rating level per decking or rigging skill
Unique programs - resonant sight & touch
Device damage affects health pool
Devices
Device types:
Exoware
Devices must have integrated control and access point
Bioware
Converts essence to innate resonance
Replacing or upgrading converts essence if the new resonance is higher
Only 6 resonance of bioware active
Devices have built-in resistance = Rating x 3
Autonomous drones
Module may be inhabited by a sprite
Devices can have programs up to Rating x Resonance.
Security fort
Systems degrade attacking device each turn
Device programs = free resonance x Rating
Different aggression levels:
Boot
Locate
Spike
Sprites
Sentient digital beings
Can only inhabit devices 3x sprite’s power
Power 1-6
Strength of sprite effects
Uses up power in device
Sprites may misinterpret requests
