Seems they disabled the spoiler tag, sadly.

As for slaves, i thought if one of my devices has a physical, direct connection, that would be eligible for the direct hack, even if i'm not currently on the spot. Will check rulebook later today. Otherwise, i don't have any idea how to circumvent the insurmountable walls of this virtual fortress. (Question, is the bootprint mark on the host?)

So I need to get you to the server room in order to get you online on the security network?

@Ren:
I thought about what you're trying to do with the whole remote/DNI connection.  The only way I could see of pulling it off given 5e rules is if you gave someone your deck to take into the building and then you keep the commlink.  The person goes in and hooks up your deck directly to a terminal inside which is slaved to the host.  Now using the commlink from the outside you do a Command Device action to command the deck to do Hack on the Fly, Enter Host, Edit File, etc.  The Command Device action seems to not contradict doing any of these things, but any action you perform using Command Device has as it's limit either the Data Processing of the commlink or the normal limit for the action you commanded, whichever one is lower.  So the device rating of the comm would usually be the limit of most of the actions.  Now the device doing the hack actions(the deck) is directly connected to the slaved device and you would only go up against the terminals stats for the initial mark.  You would however still take noise penalties for all actions done in this manner for the noise between the comm and the deck.  Also as normal, any Sleaze or Attack action you command would accumulate OW score on your deck.

No way, Stake is not trusting his companions that much yet. Thanks for the clarification, Inca, this makes things pretty clear. Unfortunately, i have to get in for control.

Inca, I think that the "Veil" storm put on Zach is something like invissibility...

EDIT: F6 improved invissibility to be precise, found it in IC. So Im not going to stop, talk or contact anyone right now. just keep walking.

@Zach:
Oops, my bad, I modified the post so check it out.  You're currently in the lobby, let me know what you want to do.

FYI:
Danger sense 2 , Combat sense 3

@Zach:
I said it was a diminishing test.  I just knocked off dice from the end and your hits for each roll are 0,3,1,2,1 and then you run out of dice for a total of 7 hits in 5 minutes.  You didn't glitch at all so you didn't trigger the alarm but you couldn't disarm at try as you might.  Just edit your post.

[Sichr]

Ok. Ho can I eedge this kind of test?

[Sichr]

And sorry Ive overlooked that "diminishing" in the sentence...or I got it wrong. I have plan B so just tell me the Edge possibilities and I will move forward

[inca1980]

@Zach:
You can use Reroll misses Edge on any of those rolls,  Remember, for the first roll you had 5 dice, but then the 2nd roll is 4 dice etc.  Just choose the rolls you wanna reroll and then use a point of edge for each reroll.

@Storm:
 Just move upstairs to the fifth floor and roll a melee attack with your spirit.  Like we said before, It's basically two layers of Armor 16 Structure 10 barrier.  That means you need to roll a modified DV greater than 16 to do any damage. 

[Thermo]

How does the acid work against the armor rating?

[inca1980]

@Thermo:
Just apply the attack normally....if it's a critter power like elemental attack then it will be unchanged damage for the barrier.  I'll say that even if it doesn't exceed the armor rating it still does the armor reduction thing.  Since Elemental Attacks are not Combat Spells, i'll say that the acid stays.  So it would be the same DV -1 each combat turn as well.  Each time it also reduces the armor rating.

[Thermo]

Ok, cool thanks. I'll wait until Zach is in position and we get the all-set from him

[Sichr]

Edged. Lets move on...
