...after building a fairly decent Decker character for Neo Tokyo. Decided to revive one of my old decker concepts for the missions reboot of the Chicago seasons...
...with a few twists.
Though not as tough out of the box as the 3e version she still could hold her own pretty well.
In her original backstory she was originally from a wealthy corporate family who was designated to be engineered from childhood to be a matrix agent for a the company. Even as an toddler she showed remarkable intellectual prowess and unusual capacity for understanding puzzles and cryptograms. A (very) long story short, when she realised in her late teens what was going on she bailed into the shadows (using her augmented abilities and training against the company to effect her escape).
That said, with the lower resource limits and priority system used in 5e I had to tone her down a bit from the original version (no rating 10 Intelligence [Logic] like the original started with). However I feel she came out much more "survivable" and playable (in spite of low physical attributes) than my first attempt a year or so ago.
Her total noise reduction is 11 (Datajack Plus, Signal Scrub, Deck rating, Antennae (3), and Vectored Signal Filter.
Again comments and suggestions are welcome.
