Hey folks
So I was re-reading the 5e rigger rules and I wanted to clarify something.
Is it possible/feasible to play a driver/rigger type without buying a full VCR/RCC setup?
I know 4e had a few disadvantages to NOT jumping in, but I don't remember the difference being so stark.
You used to be able to run a vehicle off wired 3 without going limp. I forget the math on it, but I believe it was like a 2 die difference for being in AR and hot sim.
As an example, I wrote up a go ganger a bit ago.
He wanted to stay conscious on his Contrail, not jumped in.
Would that kind of concept even work anymore or would he need to go full matrix rigger to be worth a damn?
