So... Is there any reason why a mage with a decent 'Analyze Device' roll (Spirit assist and edge on the roll, a focus to sustain it, or just a couple doses of psyche to tank the penalti (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif) ) and the improved initiative spell couldn't hack circles around any conventional hacker with the same equipment?
I know it costs a good deal to pull off, but it can be done. I am running this by you people before I go pwning my deckers with mage hackers. They keep trying to hack big corporations and I am frustrated in trying to stop them. As we are on the topic, what would the average stats for a big corp system be? |
