Full Version: Technomancer vs. Decker

What, exactly is the advantage of Technomancers? Like, I understand, Threading, sprites are pretty good. But it seems a lot like a normal hacker would be a lot better, with the ability to use cyberware/bioware, and the fact that he can improve his gear with nuyen instead of having to spend karma. A technomancer, specified for hacking, has no real use for nuyen, except maybe to buy new armor or pay for lifestyles... So anyways, from what I've seen Technomancers have no actual advantage. Enlighten me, please, I'd really like them to be awesome.

I have looked, and couldn't find it, could someone direct me there or bump it?

Try this for starters, or this one for "how to handle technomancers". Plus more hacker rules stuff. And this one for some stuff on commlinks and firewall, and another for system and response.

everyone has use for money.

it's called "retiring someday so you don't get killed."

Add in drones, to keep the technomancer alive in the real.
