Several ways:
1) Wired Reflexes (cyber or bio-equivalent) 2) Magic enchancement 3) Combat Drugs 4) Spending a point of Edge I'm sure that some addtiional info will come on this, but in a nutshell, those are the ways to increase your IP. |

synaptic boosters, move by wire, going into VR (cold or hot sim), submersed technomancer with biowire and acceleration, increased reflexes spell, improved reflexes adept power.
I think thats about it. |

In addition to all that has been said, i'd like to add the simsense booster implant, posession by a spirit and infection with some strains of the HMHV virus.
Combat drugs that provide additional IPs are cram, jazz, kamikaze and K-10. Various critters, all spirits and AIs have additional passes as well. These increases tend not to be cumulative and unless it is explicitly noted, nothing gives you more than 4 IPs (and in the rare cases where you get a fifth one, it applies only in VR). |

Question on that: a technomancer with the Overclocking echo (+1 Initiative Pass in VR) on cram. Still limited to four passes, right? I just ask because I've recently kicked a Dissonant's ass when he interfered with our job, but there's every chance we'll see him again and I need to know.

I just ask because I've recently kicked a Dissonant's ass when he interfered with our job, but there's every chance we'll see him again and I need to know. cram cannot boost him to 5 passes, but there is an additional technomancer echo that can give him a 5th initiative pass in VR. there is also a piece of tech that can do the same for hackers who have a simsense booster, so the number of IPs shouldn't be a concern really... it's far easier for a hacker to get 5 than it is for a technomancer. |

Don't forget that you can spend Edge to get initiative passes.
