HACKING

Simple manouver, the hacker uses his Cyber-Strength against the system's and the opponent programmers' Cyber-Strength.

The computer systems' Strength is between 3 and 10 in generally, but the programmers can develop them up to 15. Don't roll, choose the level!

Hacking: roll for the hacker and the system. The better wins, difference shows the time needed. If there are working sysops in the system roll against the best one, too. Smaller systems work without constant supervising.

Another roll needed against the best programmer or the system (which higher) to see the hacker detected or passed unnoticed.

These two rolls are independent of each other.

AI's Strength: 6-10 (choose or roll 1d5+5). If you rolled 10 a second 4+ improves the Strength with 1 point and try again until 1-3 rolled. Almost every AI can improve itself through experience and self-programming.

Choose contacts you rolled and every character get other two free contacts from his/her job. Usually only underworld figures know criminals.

ENEMIES

You can have enemies, too. Say the game master how many do you want and he will choose them for you. For every enemy you can get a friend. Enemy can be leader, too!

IMPROVEMENT

(new)

Sometimes the game master give a chance characters to improve. It happens usually after 5-7 game sessions or at the end of a story. Roll a dice, if result is more than the actual value add +1 to Strength. The result 10 always wins, this is the only chance to get higher levels. GM can give lesser advancement in whitch case you roll with two dice and both of them must beat the character's current Strength.
