Shadowrun: For Us It Was a Tuesday [OOC]

[Shayuri]

Hm. I thought devices had to have either wireless function or DNS to be part of your PAN.

So a gun would either be wireless enabled, or have a skinlink or something.

Datajack and skinlinked devices = a non-wireless PAN.

 

[Forged Fury]

That was true in 4th Edition, but not in 5th. To gain any benefit listed under the Wireless sub-header of equipment entries, the device itself has to be connected to the Matrix and subsequently susceptible to hacking. You can't route your Matrix connection through your commlink to your devices anymore (likewise, you can't hack a commlink and gain immediate access to the devices slaved to it anymore). This was pretty much done strictly for the purpose of providing deckers and technomancers a way to hack in combat. It's also the reason skinlink doesn't exist in 5e. I think they listed it in a table in Run & Gun, but then came back and said it was an error. In 4e, everyone just skinlinked all their gear, got the beefiest firewall available, then pointed and laughed at the hacker.

ETA: The change in how the Matrix works is probably the biggest change in the system between 4th and 5th. It's also, probably unsurprisingly, one of the biggest points of difference between advocates of either system.

Also, sorry for mucking about in the thread! Didn't mean to... so I'll leave this link to the SRT FAQ thread in which a freelancer by the name of Aaron offered rulings. They aren't technically official, although most of the earlier rulings made into the official Errata. The easiest way to deal with the thread is to click on the Print button, which will produce a single thread and then doing a CTRL+F search for keywords. Have fun!

Draft Archetypes, Still Need Final Tweaks

The funny thing is that most of the archetypes aren't actually legal under CharGen. The Weapons Specialist isn't too bad, I think it only has a few too many knowledge skills. There's a post on the SRT boards where they reverse engineer them and figure out where they break CharGen rules, then make suggestions for how to fix them.

If interested: http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=11847.0

*************
These are still not finished, but should be good enough for folks to just choose an archetype that they like.

I have some more tweaking of these (add contacts for instance and fix some numbers) and also can format them better. If you haven't already made a character and want to choose an archetype, just let me know which one you want. I'll finalize the archetype and post your character here and you can add the details such as names and backgrounds. Wait until I do this final tweak before placing it in the Rogue's Gallery.

 

[galenbd]

You can't route your Matrix connection through your commlink to your devices anymore (likewise, you can't hack a commlink and gain immediate access to the devices slaved to it anymore). This was pretty much done strictly for the purpose of providing deckers and technomancers a way to hack in combat.

I'm curious how you came to this conclusion. PANs and WANs in the main SR5 book specifically call out the wireless connection for the smartgun as being a device you might like to protect as part of your PAN. That's on page 233.

 

[Forged Fury]

I'm curious how you came to this conclusion. PANs and WANs in the main SR5 book specifically call out the wireless connection for the smartgun as being a device you might like to protect as part of your PAN. That's on page 233.

PANs and WANs still exist, but they don't do the same thing they did in 4e. Since we're specifically talking about commlinks and PANs, my comments only focus on those as WANs are different. A commlink can form a PAN with devices, such as a smartgun. The benefit of that is that the smartgun gets to use the commlink's matrix attributes in place of its own for defense tests. The danger is that successfully hacking the smartgun starts the process of hacking your commlink. It doesn't work the other way though, hacking the commlink doesn't give you any added benefits in dealing with the smartgun (unless you brick the commlink which eliminates the PAN).

The main point I am trying to make is that in order to get any of the benefits listed under the Wireless part of each equipment entry, the device itself has to be Wireless ON (Connected to the Matrix) and susceptible to hacking. In 4e, you could turn your devices Wireless OFF and just leave your commlink Wireless ON and route the signal through it to the devices via wires or skinlink, which was what Shayuri was talking about.

Fixing up a final draft for approval, don't mind the dust. Work in progress.

Street Name: Echo
Metatype: Human

What is Known:
[sblock=At First Glance]

Echo is a woman perhaps in her mid 20's with Asian features, dressed in a bodysuit of advanced ballistic fiber with a chameleon surface and carrying a large automatic pistol. She appears to be quite reserved, speaking as rarely and as sparsely as the situation allows. And while her direct stare is unblinking and can be intense, she also seems to be fairly easily distracted..[/sblock]
[sblock=After getting to know her a bit]Echo's reserve doesn't equate to shyness. She can be quite forceful with her opinions, and doesn't shy from confrontation. Rather, it seems to stem from a desire to reveal as little of herself as possible, as well as a borderline obsession with efficiency that incudes the spoken word. Echo often claims not to feel emotions, but while she does have a 'cold fish' vibe, any student of human nature can clearly see that she has them. She often appears to be oddly clueless about the emotions and motivations of other people, and is frequently uncomfortable with her body and its functions. That said, for all her quirks she is a valuable team member. Her skills with computers complement a shadowrunning group perfectly, and she's no slouch in a fight either.[/sblock]
[sblock=With some serious digging]Although Echo has gone to some pains to remove links between her current identity and her birth SIN, someone with enough information and time could find out that her real name is Ryoko Tamigaki, the daughter of an engineer and his wife. Her parents died six years ago in what the media describe as an accidental fire at a worksite. However, references to that event can't be found at any major media source. She and her brother went on to live with relatives, but just two years later her brother died as well. Ryoko at that time has medical records of being checked into a mental health facility, but later apparently was discharged and shortly after, disappeared. Oddly, her missing person's report was misdated to just prior to her date of discharge.[/sblock]

I'm planning on spending some time this evening with the rulebook and my character sheet. This means I am unlikely to update other game threads, @Unsung, @Shayuri, @Forged Fury, @Deuce Traveler, @Kiraya_TiDrekan.

 

[Unsung]

Not a problem. We've been moving at a fairly frantic pace these past few days. I don't want to lose momentum, but I also don't want to rush. Thanks for the heads up, and good luck with the character.
