Not so much gun bunny plus decker, just want to try and build a decker that doesn’t have to follow the conventional builds… was possible in 4E and in 5E, 6E has made it harder with the cyberware requirements

Will have a go and see what I can come up with

Probably need Stolen Goods or a longer campaign for the nuyen needed, but sure.  Could have before too, losing 2 PP isn't to jam in a CyberJack isn't world ending depending on what you're trying to do with the Adept stuff.  Honestly Way of the Burn Out is pretty solid for a Hacker.

Really depends on what your build goals are, and what dice pools you're targeting.  Attributes are going to be a pain.  Some compromises required if you're trying to be a gun bunny plus hacker.

With the advent of the external version of the cyberjack (cyberhack) it may be possible to create an semi-effective AR hacker adept?  Right?  Although given the cyberhacks seem to be limited in scope would it be more cost effective to pair a deck with a high end commlink and not worry about the other benefits of a cyberjack?

Thoughts?

Uhhhh, I highly recommend you don't pick it up for that alone.  I know you have a character creator to update, but these monad rules are bad.  They are broken, as in missing critical information to make it work, and they are badly made.

The PC monad rules are very similar to the NPC monad rules in Collapsing Now, with most powers being copy/pasted into this book as PC monad abilities.  They even copy/pasted an error where an "Intelligence + Con" test is called for.

Previous Editions / [5e] Technomancer and editing files

« Last post by Fatespinner on <04-08-23/1525:18> »

Hi all,

I have a question about the Editor form. Let's assume the TM wants to modify the recording of a security camera. Does the  TM needs to get a mark on the camera before he can use Editor to modify the data or can he do it directly? A normal hacker needs to get a mark on the device, then on the file and the he can edit it.

Does the same apply for files on a host?

I had this image in mind, when I planned the character: https://pin.it/19ylihA

The agent and charisma are good advices. I will try to update the character soon with your tips.

About the smartgun: I thought it is possible to buy eye updates without cyber eyes, if you pay the essence costs and don`t use capacity.

But cyber eyes save you essence of course.
