Do AI characters gain new inherent forms as their rating increases during gameplay?
The book specifies that AI characters start with a number of Inherent Programs equal to their starting rating, each at a rating equal to the corresponding Program attribute (via a table in Runners Companion). It also says that the # of inherent programs cannot exceed their Rating attribute. There would be no need to mention a 'cannot exceed' cap if it was already stated that they only have a number to start with equal to their rating, unless the number of programs they had could change during gameplay. I suppose it could mean that the number drops if their rating drops, but do they get new inherent programs as their rating goes up? |

QUOTE (Runner) Additionally, AI's may improve an inherent program rating by 1 for a Karma cost equal to the new rating; the upper limit of the rating of an inherent program is equal to twice the AI's System rating. I hope this helps. Tagla Vaasternich. |

It matters for things like E-ghosts, who don't start with any, but may learn them after play.
