if you were hacking a node on the fly and rolling really badly could you abandon the hack attempt to avoid notice then try again?
like for instance: i have 10 dice for hacking + exploit with a 5 stealth going up against a node with system 5, firewall 5 and analyze 5. if i start the hack and on the first roll get only one success, then another one on the second roll, i know that on the 3rd roll i may succeed but odds are the node will catch me and trigger an alarm. could i just abandon that hack and start over? it sounds like taking advantage of the system but i didn't see anything prohibiting it. |
