ok, everybody knows the problem:
according to the book a hacker roles hacking plus program and can default to logic if he ain't got the skill. the crap about this is that most players would rather build a hacker without hacking but a high logic. now, my houserule for this whole thing is this: A hacker roles logic + hacking/program (whichever is lower). The reason behind this is this, if u r a crack in computer graphic design and u have to use paintbrush, u r screwed, because u r limited by the program. on the the other side, if u got photoshop, but don't know shit about how to use it properly, u will also end up with a crappy result. this way all three values are included into the equation. as for technomancers: they should role Logic + hacking + complex form. this is only fair because TMs are a) giant karma sinks and b) should have a real edge over normal hackers, which they don't ATM. what do you think about this? comments? suggestions? |
