Restriction Class & Access

System access is controlled by automated restriction gates, that must be bypassed to run unauthorized programs on a system.
Where a system is accessed, and the permissions associated with that method, determine the degree of system response and the time for a program to take effect.

Example Bioware Programs
Programs that manipulate bioware devices.
Common uses: medicine, extreme sports, security
Any unauthorized program run on another's bioware is Banned restriction by default. Unless you have access to the control point, bioware resists at 1 further resistance level.

Dependency hardware

Many bioware programs affect specific hardware performance. These programs can be uploaded to any device, but will fail to trigger on devices that do not have the required hardware.

Multi-target programs

By default, the base program cost and effects apply to the program when cast on a single target. Additional single targets can be affected with additional successes.
Programs can be instead cast on a system, affecting all applicable targets within the sub-system. Area of effect programs cost an extra success for local system, double successes for subsystems, and quadruple successes for the full system.
