Perhaps my search-fu is failing me…
It seems in SR5 Jammers and by extension the “Jam Signals” matrix action have no effect on communications. Jamming adds to Noise, noise reduces your dice pools for matrix actions, ‘Send Message’ is the Matrix Action for communicating, however it doesn’t require a dice test at all. Therefore Jammers and Jamming do not affect your ability to ‘Send Message’. Did I miss anything? I read the section on jammers in the gear area and the section on the Jam Signals matrix action, neither of these had any information on jamming actual communications. If I didn’t miss it, does anyone have a suggestion on house rules to make jammers useful for jamming communications? Thanks. |
