Netrunning
| Netrunning |
Effect |
Bonus Effect |
| One |
A player needs this level to use the internet |
Can use a dataterm. Can't netrun |
| Two |
Can use Level two programs or below
|
Can perform netrunning actions
|
| Three |
Can use Level three programs or below |
Can perform netrunning actions |
| Four |
Can use Level four programs or below |
Can perform netrunning actions |
| Five |
Can use Level five programs or below |
Can perform netrunning actions |
Level one in Netrunning is required to get any meaningful information from the internet. At level zero a user can switch on a computer and print off documents but would not know how to gain access to the internet or troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Actual netrunning can only be performed by those with level two or above in the skill.
Also, your skill level in Netrunning determines the level of programs you have in your deck. A level three Netrunner would have level three programs installed on his deck.
It takes five minutes to break an ICE program of the same level as the netrunner minus one minute for every level the ICE is below the player. For instance, a level four netrunner can break level four ICE in five minutes, or level three ICE in four minutes and level two ICE in three minutes, and so on.
If more than one netrunner is attempting to break some ICE, for every assisting netrunner of level two and above, the primary netrunner (the one with the highest skill) can subtract one minute from the time it would take, to a minimum of one minute.
So if a level five netrunner and a level three netrunner were attempting to break level four ICE, this would take four minutes for the level five netrunner to do solo, but as he has help, a further minute is taken from the overall time. This means the two of them would take three minutes to complete the task. If you add another level two netrunner into the equation, a further minute would be subtracted. In order to complete this task, all three of them would need to have ICEbreaker programs loaded into their decks.
A Netrunner can break ICE that is one level higher than his skill level by spending twice as long on the action. Again, any extra Netrunners assisting on this task would subtract one minute from the time per Netrunner.
Caveat: Please bear in mind that having any skill level in Netrunning is no guarantee that your attempted action will succeed. There may be other things going on behind the scenes that would interrupt, halt or cause a backlash to the Netrunner or your actions that you may be unaware of.

Electronic Security & Mechanical Security
Locks, safes and other related security devices are rated from one to six (with six being reserved for blackbox tech military equipment). If you have a skill of one, you cannot open a lock rated four.
It takes five minutes to disable a security device, pick a lock or crack a safe minus one minute for every level the safe or lock is below you. So someone with lockpicking at 5 could open a level 5 lock in 5 minutes, a level 4 lock in 4 minutes and so on. Someone with level 3 in lockpicking could open a level 3 lock in five minutes, a level two lock in four minutes and a level one lock in three minutes.
Also, you can open a lock, crack a safe or disable a security device one level, above you in twice the time. So a level four locksmith could open a level 5 lock in ten minutes, a level 5 locksmith could open a level 6 lock in ten minutes. A level 3 locksmith could NOT open a level five lock though, it is simply too complicated for them.

Phys reps
In order to perform certain skills, tools will be required. For instance, to be a netrunner, we want you to grab that old SNES, spray it silver and attach a ‘trode set or something. Basically, make it look like a cyberdeck.
Also, to repair an item, a set of relevant tools will be required. Want to mend a car engine? A toolset would be useful.
