I know the book pretty much says only that Technos get grumpy/agitated when away from the Matrix & start to lose dice if they're away too long.
I know most Z zones are dead zones. In our game last week, our team ended up in a Z zone chasing ghouls. My GM & I ended up treating my techno's reaction as a sort of phobia/allergy reaction. She started out griping, but eventually was getting completely distracted by the fact that she couldn't connect. Basically, she became mostly useless to the team. My question is basically this: If we treat this as essentially a phobia/allergy reaction, shouldn't technos be able to build up a certain tolerance? Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? |
